I found my time with yourselves absolutely positive, and was the major factor in turning things around for me. I can’t thank you all enough for the help you gave me, and I really miss not attending the sessions. I enjoyed them so much. You provide a wonderful service, and I can’t praise you all highly enough.
It was a very nice morning today to be able to share our thoughts in a safe circle. I certainly look forward to coming again. There was a lot of learning and I appreciate the ability you all have to listen actively. I so wish our group could work together like this and use our skills to help the community. I am certainly excited for the coming months
Lovely choice of venue, fine cakes and tea
One of the best programmes I have been to. I have been to some courses with the Job Centre and they were awful. You have given me confidence. I have more to offer than I thought and realise I am not on the scrap heap. All the staff have been brilliant. I have already recommended you to others as you learn a lot
The group helped me feel less isolated and more motivated. Improved my confidence in searching online for jobs. Would recommend to others
A lovely encouraging group, relaxed atmosphere, supportive and beautifully run by Julie. Useful information and ideas to take away and use in future
These sessions are invaluable to me. If I didn’t attend these sessions, I would stay at home more. When I attend these sessions it pushes me to mix with others in a group setting. Plus, I learn from the sessions too about other services/groups etc
I really enjoyed the Building Resilience sessions. The coach, Julie, was brilliant, she had a wealth of life experience, was impartial, non-judgemental and professional. I felt welcomed and included in conversations. Thank you for the opportunity
This group has given me confidence, allowed me to talk through feelings and situations without judgement or criticism. There is an interesting mixof people with their own stories and we helped each other. Julie and Katrina have been brilliant, supportive and encouraging and listen to us without judging or being prescriptive. I have really enjoyed the sessions and now feel much better
I can really recommend this team, they helped me with my CV, shared facts of what is expected of you in an interview, what to take to an interview, questions to ask and questions to expect. I gained confidence and met some really nice people, the Humber Job Hub team and other people on the course. Applied for a job using my new CV, carried myself very well through the interview, which my last interview was 21 years ago and got the job. Couldn’t have done it without this team. Thank you Humber Job Hub
I was amazed how fantastic, easy and simple this service was to access. It has been a massive help, putting me on track for a better future. My mental health has massively improved too. I would recommend to others. Thank you to the organisation for all of your help
I think your approach to helping people is a genuine breath of fresh air. I enjoyed the honest, sincere and genuinely helpful and friendly approach… and looked forward to going.
I would never have gone to a group session before but have attended two Building Resilience groups now. These groups are a confidential environment with no judgement on your situation. The person delivering the course is friendly and delivers it well for everyone to understand. I felt comfortable enough to share with the other members and listening to their stories helped me feel less lonely. It helps with social anxiety and was a 100% positive experience.
I wasn’t hearing back from job applications before but now my CV really stands out and I’ve had positive feedback from agencies. Humber Job Hub are extremely friendly and helpful. It’s so easy to talk to Angela who has great knowledge. Good communication around appointments, and text reminders when due. Angela and Joanna have been amazing.
Following attending our Building Resilience Groups and having one-to-one employment and counselling sessions, Paula told us their confidence, self-worth and communication have improved. She also said of the team - Very helpful, very kind, thoughtful and brilliant.
Due to the stress and anxiety of her current job, Zoe rated her mental health a very low 1 out of 5 when she registered with us. Now, just a few weeks later she feels it has improved so much she rated it a maximum 5! Of our service, she said: I can’t stress enough how good the sessions were for me. They were a massive help, invaluable. I feel more confident now going forward. I strongly recommend Humber Job Hub, in fact I already have recommended you to a friend.
Absolutely brilliant! Gillian has completed 3 individual employment coaching sessions and 4 personal counselling sessions with us and reported improvements in her IT skills and self-confidence and her mental health rating went from a 2 out of 5 to a 5! She now has a clearer pathway into employment and sees a much brighter future ahead. We wish her well with her work experience.
I have to say I found it extremely interesting and very useful. There was a lot more content than I was expecting. Expanding the field of possible volunteering opportunities was very enjoyable. It’s also good to have chance to interact with everybody and share thoughts and experience. I certainly see it as a potentially viable means of finding paid employment, which I was less certain about beforehand.
I have really enjoyed this volunteering course… it has really opened my eyes to the opportunities that are available and where to look for them. It was really interesting to have some of the organisations come in and talk about what they do first hand. I never knew there was so much out there. I would like to thank you all again for all your help over the last few months. It has been really difficult for me but you have given me something to focus on and I am now feeling more positive and confident.
The courses that Humber Job Hub deliver have a strong ethos on your health and wellbeing. The content was informative and insightful in how one can use the system which, in turn, uses you to progress into gainful employment, which is also going to promote one’s wellbeing. This was a group of exceptional dynamics and the sharing within the group was as important to me as the content. Thank you to all for a wonderful few months.
Fabulous. So glad I was referred by the Job Centre. Really glad I forced myself to call Humber Job Hub, you’re doing a wonderful job.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Everybody is brilliant and its very informative. Helped me massively.
Extremely positive, open, informative, empowering, kind and encouraging. So much appreciated
I would never have written my CV as good as the team. Would not have sold myself as well.
Wishing you and the Humber Job Hub the very best, you are amazing and I can not express in words what a great time I had with you and the wonderful things U’ve learned. Thank you from deep down in my heart for everything, especially for all your encouragement and support
Many thanks to you, Angela and all your team for everything you’ve done - it’s hugely appreciated and has certainly made a massive difference to me personally, as well as in terms of job seraching and even prospects. What you are all doing is very special indeed
The group has really improved my mental health. It’s a lovely mix of people but non-judgemental and is a really nice group who all have a voice. We have learned from each other and helped each other. Julie listens, structures the group and themes but there’s always room/time for people to talk
This is the second course I’ve been on. Before I came, my anxiety held me back. After attending these groups I feel slightly stronger in being in the presence of people. I am looking forward to the next group.
Love attending the sessions. Love the banter. Love the ‘feel good factor’ after the sessions. Great job Julie xxx
These group sessions have been helpful with building confidence
The training was very good, we felt supported and respected. We talked about problems when we go to interviews and they helped us overcome them. The team was wonderful. Thank you very much for the bike and your organisation which helps people a lot, we appreciate it. Now my father will be able to go to the farm by bicycle, he is very happy.
A really positive environment to get help. Really good to get the employer’s angle and insight into what they are looking for. Also good that the emotional wellbeing is included.
The group was ten times better than I expected. Extremely helpful. I was shocked to my core how good it was!
Exceeded all my expectations. Angela is bubbly and enthusiastic. The group was relaxing, enjoyable and informative. The coaches came across as though they enjoyed their jobs. The first position I applied for with my new CV got me an invitation to interview and I got the job!
Absolutely excellent! I can’t fault it at all. The extra help was brilliant too, I wasn’t expecting all the additional support around confidence and resilience as well.
Positive, helpful and really informative.
My chances of employment have improved now. I have gained a volunteer position to help me get the skills to find employment in my chosen field. Really positive and useful course. I’m very happy I applied and attended.
It was wonderful, I really enjoyed it
I enjoyed listening to and meeting the others in the group. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Everything was perfect!
I found it better with the presentations and particularly enjoyed the interview content. It gave me confidence to ask questions and not fidget. Everything was helpful.
The group changed my perspective on looking for work and tackling interviews. I enjoyed the detail and that we were given time to digest and ask questions. Everyone was attentive and the accessibility of staff was excellent. My CV is excellent. Joanna is an excellent person and facilitator.
All the interview content built me up. A very very rewarding experience, particularly being with other people in the same boat. I enjoyed it more than I expected. It went above and beyond and I have recommended you to everyone!
I enjoyed the group more than I expected. I felt part of a team. It was really useful and included things I hadn’t thought about. Very helpful, informative and gave me confidence.
Positive, good, lovely. I got a lot out of being in a group of people in the same situation. Everyone respected each other. Very very good.
The group really surprised me. I was worried before it but found it was not daunting at all. Supportive, informative and has helped me grow in confidence, particularly in group and work settings. The venue [East Riding Leisure Haltemprice] really helped, being a friendly community space.
Empowering. Really interesting. A great group of people and delivered well. I particularly enjoyed the interview techniques and additional self-employment sessions.
I enjoyed the social interaction the most. Positive, interesting and relaxed.
Excellent. Positive experience. It was a friendly group and I enjoyed being part of it.
I enjoyed the preparing for interviews session and meeting everyone. It boosted my confidence and motivated me. I didn’t feel as isolated.
The CV changes have really helped me get a job. Everyone was nice and friendly. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
I had no clue what to expect but it surpassed everything I could have wanted. The size of the group was conducive to learning and felt very welcoming and safe. I am just amazed at how much support you give for free!
Very professional and well organised. I took advantage of all the help available and I feel more confident and that I’ve got this now.
All of it was very useful. I enjoyed it, it ticked all my boxes.
I particularly enjoyed the intervew sessions and feel more confident now. Helpful in many areas.
[The online group sessions] were very good, very informative. Angela is very good at her job, brilliant!
It was amazingly good. I took a lot of value from talking to the other people on the course. I’m sorry I can’t think of any way you could improve it as it was really good. Thank you so much.
Wonderful sessions! Everyone has a chance to speak and makes us all confident and appreciated. Would recommend it to a friend.
I have a much better understanding of being resilient. It has helped me a lot. Julie is a great coach, very understanding and patient. Thank you
Friendly, welcoming and informal. Some weeks the only time I left the house, so gave purpose. Felt it hard to open up unless a direct question asked to me but then felt that I had achieved. Thank you so so much.
Thank you for being patient and caring. Thank you for your help.
I feel that the sessions have been so beneficial for me. I have looked forward to each one. The ‘banter’ and interaction from everyone is great! I will miss my Wednesday sessions but look forward to 2024 and any others that might come along.
I have enjoyed all my time here and glad of turning up because I have found everyone’s point of view and stories interesting. I have found that everyone has been supportive towards me.
These sessions have been absolutely invaluable. The support and encouragement has been truly amazing. Julie is so very compassionate and has the ability to help people to engage, share and support each other. She is a gifted lady and I appreciate being able to have been a part of this. Thanks are not enough.
I have really enjoyed attending these sessions. Julie is very approachable and helped us all individually. Each session made me more comfortable and I really came out of my shell. I can’t wait for the next one.
Good sessions, good chats, maybe more practical exercises. I would have liked to have been put on the spot, out of my comfort zone and challenged, that kind of thing.
It was so rewarding to have been a part of that group, in so many ways. I can’t thank you enough for what you and the team have done for me, and everyone else who embarks on the course. I am very very busy in my new role, still finding my feet as I’m on the food counters, an area I’ve never covered before. But enjoying being back in work and having a purpose again.
Gained self-confidence and to be not afraid to talk about things. It’s great for helping you to believe in yourself. Every day has a purpose. It’s good for motivation. So friendly, approachable tutor. Would recommend definitely.
This session of Resilience is a mind opener and a good lesson of life and how to navigate our way in the complex life which is like a highway of stop signs, robots, give ways, accidents and breakdowns. However, we have to drive to our destination. I have learned a lot indeed and I have learned to discover myself more. Thank you Julie, we love you.
I found a lot of the topics interesting. I enjoyed listening to other people’s answers and their stories. Over all, I enjoyed myself.
I have found the sessions extremely rewarding. Confidence is something I lack, these sessions have helped so much through talking and sharing. To know others feel the same and you’re not the only one going through it helps so much. To have the guidance of the coach in how to deal with so many issues has been invaluable. Thank you isn’t enough.
Fantastic, informative and really helpful. Couldn’t ask for better sessions. I feel listened to.
Enjoyed the first 2 sessions as I was feeling low. To be honest, I do not feel I gained much from the other 4, but enjoyed being in different company.
I’m quite sad at the prospect of next week being the last session, but I’m so grateful for having been able to be a part of it, and have now become more confident in applying for jobs, especially with my new updated CV. Everything you have all taught us has been of such great value, and the support and guidance has been amazing.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate everything you have all already done for me. You’ve given me hope which is a massive thing and I am so very grateful. I appreciate you being there.
Enjoyable, nice relaxed environment. No pressures. Really enjoyed the support of the other group members. Happily starting a new job in September!
Helpful in many areas. More confident in going for interviews now
Very good, I learned a lot. Julie’s sessions really helped and sessions with Angela helped me feel more confidence. Feel more informed and generally more confident
The sessions were insightful, revealing and empowering. I felt really privileged to be part of it. It was also great meeting the rest of the group, and Julie of course.
The sessions were really informative and made me think, which helped me a lot. Julie was brilliant in her explanations, really kind in her discussions and helpful to the whole group. We covered resilience in a lot of detail from different perspectives. I’ve really enjoyed this process, training and help. Thank you again.
The sessions were useful for self-evaluation, confidence building and resourcefulness. They gave hints about how to prepare for work including interviews and resilience when you get knocked back
The sessions on resilience are very important to me. I was going through a lot of depressing times and throughts about life as a whole and my career as a medical doctor. The whole sessions made me stronger, resilient and adaptive to the circumstances. Thank you Angela, Joanna and Julie for everything. Rating them excellent!
Started working now. Fantastic 10/10!
Very good. Top notch!
I was not hearing back from job applications but now with my new CV and help finding jobs online I have secured a new role!
Very friendly. Everyone wanted to support each other. I enjoyed meeting other people and realising that, even though I am from Ukraine, I am the same. This gave me confidence and I am now working!
You do brilliant work!
More friendly and comfortable than other courses. Really good and helpful. I made a friend in one of the other members too!
100% better than courses I’ve done before. Very positive. Really enjoyed coming along
Helpful, enjoyable. Gave me a sense of purpose and a place to be every week. Hearing stories from others and the praise given was great, especially as sharing can be difficult at times.
I’m not sure how to describe it best because I’ve enjoyed it so much.
I really enjoyed coming to Costello for Jules’ sessions. It was nice to talk in a group and I felt comfortable doing that. I will take away some helpful tips to keep going, stay strong and positive.
Julie and Liz were very helpful and I loved going to the Building Resilience Group. Good to talk and ask anything. I don’t want it to end, has helped me get out of the house and go somewhere.
I found the “resilience course” a useful follow on from the one to one sessions many thanks to Jules and Liz (and everyone concerned at Humber Job Hub). It was the first time the course had been run as far as I understand, so fair to say a bit of a learning curve for all those in attendance. Maybe an agenda to each session would help when someone goes off at a tangent so some order can be pulled back to proceedings and keep within timescales and objectives. Thank you.
I loved the positive environment and good communication. You worked with me to suit my needs which were met quickly. Humber Job Hub gave me confidence to apply for and start a new job, taking the fear out of the recruitment process. I can’t thank you enough!
I was made to feel welcome and enjoyed the relaxed, chatty environment. I love my new CV.
Everything has helped. It was a nice sized group and I loved the free tea and coffee!
When I joined, I felt hopeless but can’t compare to how I feel now. As a learner with Humber Job Hub, I feel included, that they really care and know what they are doing. They are good at this - really cool!
Humber Job Hub helped build my self-esteem, were non-judgemental and on my side. They gave me a sense of direction and made everyone feel comfortable and included
I am grateful for finding out about Humber Job Hub, a lovely friendly team who listened to and understood what I needed
Highly recommend [Humber Job Hub] to anyone, fantastic support and help from a brilliant team, nothing is too much trouble in anyway to get you ready & able for job searching & interviews. Even after you’ve finished the 5/6 week course they are still just a phone call, text or email away. You are simply brilliant.
I have actually secured a job from the interview I had last Thursday, which I am very happy with. I would like to thank Angela for all her help, tips and her assistance as I feel these definitely helped me get the position.
