We have just been asked a very good question. How do we expect people without jobs to pay £200 to do job applications, which succeed?
There is no denying that it does cost money to find a job, albeit, travel a new suit, the coffee before and after and even that new pair of shoes.
Our advice is that old suit will do, but invest your money in other ways, which show you how to succeed in today’s world. So invest in yourself perhaps you don’t go out for those few weeks at all and you put the money away, knowing that this will really make a difference to you.
Our workshops are about empowering you and sometimes it does cost some money to achieve that. We are also offering a lot of information free to you, but most of the belief we give you, enabling you to ultimately succeed has been gained through years and years of experience and recruitment success, so there is a charge for the sessions we run.
Talk to the job centre and see if they will offer any contributions for a workshop which will help you get a job and if you’re in a position of redundancy then sometimes your old company will pay for this which has worked well for a number of candidates who have come through the workshops.
We wish we could offer more for free but the time and expertise of the best always involves a cost.

Are you planning to come to ever travel to Los Angeles, California with your workshops? Would you consider coming to Los Angeles for a group session and how much would that cost…group rates? So many people are out of jobs or hanging onto jobs they hate (or not making enough money and they hate).
What advice do you have for folks stuck in the entertainment dream mill?

Hi Keta,
We are available for hire, and would gladly come to Los Angeles to run a group session for you. There are a number of options we could look at, from single day workshops to 3 or 4 day interactive seminars. We have an excellent success rates with candidates who’ve attended workshops, with a number of them having gained new employment within a week of the attending, after prolonged periods of unemployment. Let me send you an email with more details on the possible options and associated costs, and we can pick up from there.
For those aiming for a career in the entertainment industry, i’d suggest they structure their life in a way that means they have time to pursue their dream, but also gives them the time to take on a job with prospects, so they can live a comfortable life in the meantime. Careers in sales and similar fields are excellent for those in the entertainment industry, as they tend not to be fixed to a 9-5 routine and can provide excellent earnings potential.
