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. 

What a fantastic service, I have just finished a 5 week course which helped me with confidence building, where and how to look for jobs, interview techniques, and motivation. I can’t believe the difference in myself from when I started, it’s a very relaxed and friendly environment with lots of support, I would recommend this service to anyone even if it’s just helping you create your cv, many thanks again to the team x

I’ve recommended you to my other friends who are struggling and my work coach who may tell others in the same situation I was in about how much you helped me. Thank you for all you have done for me. 

I have had a lot of folks get in to work off the back of these sessions. I have been working with [Humber Job Hub] for the last year or so. Plus, they are qualified mental health first aiders which is something that has been very helpful (Astrid)

Thank you so much for delivering to the team this morning. What a great service you provide! (Mandie)

Apologies for the delay in replying I’ve been busy….. at WORK ???? Thank you both for everything and I’ll see if there’s anyone who’s in the same situation and let you know.

I just went through the CV and I find it absolutely fine. I am really grateful to you, Angela and your team which is working together to help people like me who have no clue how to do these things. Thank you for your time and effort that you put into this. 

The CV that I had help with from you guys has really helped.  I just want to say a big thank you for helping me get back into work.

I will always recommend you to anyone searching for a job :)

Best get back to work course I have ever been on .. informative, welcoming, lovely atmosphere when I was nervous

The Community Job Club helped me to build my confidence by getting me back into a routine, meeting new people and you accommodated me when I needed to rearrange sessions

I enjoyed most being able to take the interview technique and apply it successfully to a real interview. Previous courses mentioned technique but it didn’t work.

Enjoyed the confidence session and hearing another point of view, didn’t feel pressured or judged. I’m absolutely loving my new job now, thank you. Settled in well and using all my skills.

I am much more confident in myself. Good tips and advice on things I hadn’t thought about.

Can’t fault [Online Job Club], it was so organised. Gave me a lot of confidence, made me feel worthy and not stupid. You listened to me, gave time to absorb and not rushed or put under pressure.

I found all the sessions helpful in particular preparation for interviews and overcoming nerves very inciteful and they will come in handy for me to utilise when the time comes. I would highly recommend you guys to other people who are struggling to seek employment, amend or have help and advice for CVs.

Angela was great, very helpful and didn’t come across as seeing me as just another person looking for work. I felt like she was investing her time and efforts into me personally and listened to everything I said and came up with valid points in return that helped me reset my mind after such a long time with one company and now looking at how to further myself and career. Thank you very much.

I have had really positive feedback from my claimants and I have fed back to the rest of my office.

Good news I’ve got my dream job working as a Park attendant! I have given my friends your email address as I highly recommend your service.

Phone call yesterday, 2 hour interview this morning and I’m happy to say they offered me the job before I left. I would like to thank you all for the help, information and guidance you have given me over the past few months and the confidence to go for a job that is a little out my comfort zone but one that will utilize all of my skills and experience to the max. 

Having only attended one session, in part due to the success of the help received from the Fast Track Community Job Club, it’s difficult to give much specific feedback.

I really liked the concept of having a more informal meeting, to catch up with others who had also been part of the Fast Track Community Job Club, to share experiences, and seek advice on things that may have cropped up since those sessions.

Like many others, pre-covid I was in a long term steady job, and it was helpful to meet others in a similar situation, and be reminded I wasn’t alone.

Thanks again for all your help.

I enjoyed the coffee morning I was able to join as it was a chance to meet and chat with others in the same situation at a time when many of us are struggling to find work in an unprecedented and uncertain situation.
