About Me

Joanna Brown MA (Cantab)

Career Coach (PGDip)

​

Registered Career Development Professional (RCDP)

​

After graduating from Jesus College Cambridge with a degree in Modern and Medieval History, I followed a career in marketing and management consultancy with Procter & Gamble, Baker Tilly Consulting and United Biscuits working on leading global brands such as Oil of Olay, McVities and Shell. Throughout this time, I was heavily involved in graduate recruitment at various universities in the UK, including Glasgow, York and Cambridge, running recruitment programmes as well as screening CVs and interviewing and assessing candidates. 

​

I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Career Coaching, a Certificate in Youth Coaching accredited by the International Coach Federation and I am a Registered Career Development Professional with the Careers Development Institute and can be found on their database of approved practitioners.  I am a member of the Institute of Student Employers (ISE) and keep up to date with the latest news and trends in the graduate and degree apprenticeship employment market.

​

As a mother of three daughters aged 24, 21 and 19 years I recognise that the dynamic operating between parents and their children means an impartial, independent view often adds clarity.

When applying for your first serious job or internship, you become very aware that the job market at the start of your career is a buyer’s market, and it’s easy to feel like no one wants what you’re selling! However, with Joanna’s help, not only did I learn methods and skills essential to the various stages of any job application (including interviews, assessment centres, cover letters and CVs), I also became more aware of the valuable skills and personality traits I possess and gained the confidence and resilience that’s needed in the modern job market. I cannot thank her enough.
