BEFORE THE SESSION
After booking, you will receive instructions explaining how to submit your CV and any relevant information before the meeting.
I will review the information provided in advance so that our session can focus on your most important questions, strengths and development priorities.
Please send your documents early enough to allow adequate preparation before the consultation.
WHY BOOK THIS CONSULTATION?
I successfully navigated the UK Global Talent Peer Review route as an academic.
I understand how difficult it can be to assess your own profile, identify suitable evidence and determine whether it is the right time to apply.
My approach combines personal experience, academic insight and structured mentoring to help you evaluate your position more clearly.
The purpose of the session is not simply to discuss an application. It is to help you understand how your academic achievements, impact and professional development fit into a stronger long-term career strategy.
YOUR SESSION INCLUDES
✓ Advance review of your CV and submitted information
✓ A private 60-minute Google Meet consultation
✓ Personalised discussion of your academic profile
✓ Guidance on evidence, referees and development priorities
✓ Clear and practical next steps
