My story

A few years ago, when I was running a permanent recruitment division, I saw that many candidates entering the job market lacked knowledge and understanding on how to construct their resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles. They also struggled with presenting themselves in interviews and navigating the recruitment process.  I realised that I had a unique opportunity to coach people by sharing my insider knowledge and experience so they could become more competitive and successful in their job search.

That’s how Career Queen Coaching & Consulting was born. Since then, I have helped many people find their dream jobs and careers.

Love,
Your Career Queen Alana

Ready to take the next step?

I am excited to coach you on your career journey and to reignite your passion.  Your dream job is just around the corner.

What do I do next?
How do I overcome the effects of redundancy and move forward?
I feel so daunted and unsure and have no confidence to know what to do where do I start?
I feel bitter about my current situation, why did they do this to me?
