Careers Advice
How can I help you?
Hi there, I'm Ewan.
I'm a former Bank executive and I regularly offer tips, advice and perspective to those developing in their careers. I have been fortunate to have received lots of advice and ideas throughout my career and whenever I've said thank you, one of the most repeated responses has been "pay it forward".
So that's why I started a channel on TikTok to do just that. The channel is freely available and there is no charge to view.
If you'd like some dedicated help, there are some links below to paid-for CV Review and Mentoring sessions.
I strongly recommend that you seek advice from a wide variety of sources and then make your own decisions on what's best for you.

CV Review
I will review your CV (and optionally, your cover letter) to give you some feedback and perspective based on how I initially scanned and then read your document. I'll discuss how I reacted and offer tips on how you might consider presenting yourself.

LinkedIn Profile Review
Your LinkedIn Profile is often described as your public CV. Even before you've been contacted or asked for your CV, hiring managers and recruiters may already be looking at your profile. What are they seeing? What are they thinking about your profile? Let me help you optimise what they're seeing with some suggestions and tips. (Or... if you're not following best practices, they might not even be finding you!)
