I attended 4 webinars hosted by Jane Hatton and found them to be really helpful. The information given was not all new but sometimes we need to be reminided of the basics. I found her easy to listen to with everything explained well and each hour was over before I knew it. Certainly helped me.

I would just like to take this opportunity to advise you that if like me after working solid for 20 years then being made redundant you suddenly are thrown into the world of employability and recruitment then ask your local job centre to sign you up for Webinar. Today I took part in a live web training in regard to how to create a winning CV. I found the whole session extremely useful. Jane answers web participants questions relating to the sessions subject and offers lots of hints and tips into how best to create value and shine when employers are screening CVs.

I initially was not sure what this training would be like as I have never joined a live training web session in my life and also as I worked in employablity for many years thought I knew most of the hints and tips in getting ahead in this industry... how wrong was I, but thankfully due to the excellent presentation and delivery from Jane Hatton at the Webinar I am going to address the issues to make my CV stand out. I am looking forward to taking part in further web sessions.

Honestly extremely impressed and again Thank you to Jane and Webinar with thanks of course to my adviser Pauline from Maryhill Job Centre in Glasgow for advising me to login and register to this excellent service to help unemployed become employed.

I am also going to email my former employer to advise that this would be an excellent and worthwhile service for the Glasgow Employability Sector to invest in as I truely believe it would be a very useful tool and training package for our guidance advisors to support clients in their pathway to employment.

Thanks very much again.

Poor in is application, disappointing overall. I did have high hopes for this service, I have had more responses from basic cv database / online upload site that I have from this website with videos.

Hour or two to cut and paste my CV in to the feild section sees madness after creating a carefully thought out CV, which is only attached to the profile rather than imported. I would not recommend, as it is a time waster!

The presentations on myworksearch are invalueable to job seeking, the demonstrated presentation style is spot on, answers all questions posed and her knows his subject matter. Since attending writing a personel profile presentation, I change my profile and now get interest from recruiters, it seems to have worked. MyWorkSearch wont find you a job, you have to do that yourself, but it does give you all the tools needed to help you on your way. Its well worth the investment in time.

I was enrolled in Myworksearch by the jobcentre and had no expectations of anything useful. However, I took a look and attended several seminars. None of them contained anything earth-shattering that I should not already have known, however each session proved to be a valuable revision exercise helping me to focus on improving my delivery of presentations or my interview performance.

The delivery style was fairly casual but the use of questions during the webinar (communicated in real time via the webinar tool) meant it was directly relevant and I got far more out of the session than expected.

I would advise anyone who has not been in the job market recently to use the sessions if they can, even if they think they know all the answers already.

I was enrolled in Myworksearch by my local jobcentre plus office and had high hopes that I would be able to learn some tips on securing a new job. All I can say is that it is poorly laid out and not at all user friendly so I have been unable to actually work out how it can help me.

I also attended a couple of the Webinars after reading the reviews and can only think that I must have been unlucky or caught the presenter on a bad day on both occasions as I found them boring and kept thinking I had lost connection due to the pauses and gaps in his speech.

I can only say that I would not recommend this product and had I paid for my subscription I would be asking for a refund.

I did contact their Customer Service Team for assistance and was talked through how to use the site but still found it confusing and to be honest a waste of time.

I have spoken to my Jobcentre adviser and have asked them to remove from this service so I can be enrolled on a Training course that really will help me.

I was an early user of MyWorkSearch and found the site and programme extremely easy to use, well laid out and also extremely informative.

I liked being able to track my progress through the modules and organise my tasks & emails.

Then in July 2010 they modernised the site and now it is confusing, hard to use, I have lost my progress within the programme and also cannot find my data. In short, I have stopped using it and also find the constant barrage of marketing emails too much! I have complained to my Jobcentre Plus Office, who funded my subscription about this matter and I understand that they are also of the same opinion

'My Work Search' is an excellent tool and I have learned a lot. The webinars are very useful. This web-site has boosted my confidence after I lost my job. I'm very optimistic and receiving positive feedbacks to my job applications.

Only one small problem, that the webinar presentation slides require a password to download them, which is not given. Please could you look into it?

After reading numerous books on the subject of trying to find a new role after redundancy, and seeing so much "clutter" on the internet it is nice to report on a site that captures what you need in a nice complete package. The site is easy to navigate, and the technology works. They have a very professional manner, and the experience is very much like having a presentation in your front room. There is the ability to ask questions during the presentation through an e-mail type operation, which if there is not enough time to answer Michael does answer post the presentation. The presentation lasts around 60-75 minutes and Michael does send a copy of the presentation some 24-48 hours afterwards. I have made a number of changes to my approach post these series of webinars , and all of them are very positive. I would very much recommend this service.

MyWorkSearch is a very useful tool to assist with everything from applying for jobs using a CV to presentations sometimes required at the interview stage to the actual interview. Michael is a very honest and straight forward presenter so that everyone in his audience understands the subject. His webinars nearly always run over the allocated time which is great as to it means he cares enough to stay on answer questions; he always responds to emails in a timely manner so you don't have to wait long for a response.
