Convoy Community Ltd. Omdömen 55

Convoy was a massive help in my job search and I can't recommend it enough! I recently graduated from a masters programme and since October have been looking for a role in my new career. Firing off job applications was getting me nowhere and it was starting to feel like I was doing something wrong. Convoy was incredibly helpful in keeping me in a positive mindset and helping me to look at my job hunt in a different way, giving me insights into where I could best direct my energy. I felt I had support at every step, no matter with how small or big the task. The daily stand-ups were especially helpful to stay motivated and positive as well as throw ideas around. I watched some of the recordings of the weekly speakers and they were also great for staying inspired! Thank you so much Christopher, I think everyone would benefit from joining Convoy to reach their goals

I joined Convoy in February of this year, after over a year of job searching. Convoy is designed to take the loneliness out of job searching, by providing support and encouragement though engagement with others in a similar position.

Being a part of Convoy involved taking part in a brief daily morning ‘stand up’ call with 2 other members, and a weekly one hour zoom meeting with a wider group. These calls are designed to provide support to one another, exchange ideas, progress, and provide advice. In addition, there is a weekly guest speaker on topics such as your linkedin profile, or interview techniques, and many many more.

I'm pleased to say that I have found my next role, and Convoy has been a huge part of this success. The ideas and support from other members, and the vast number of professional courses and speakers/presenters online that I became aware of through Convoy have been fundamental in maintaining a positive outlook and developing my job searching skills. Connecting with other professionals who are in a similar position is a great support. The success of the Convoy program is testament to this.

Christopher Ross has built up a great organisation in Convoy and I recommend it most highly to anyone who has been made redundant, or who is out of the workforce and looking to re-enter.

Convoy is a provides mentoring and support when on the lonely path looking for a job.

Meeting others on the same journey , you can review progress and help each other .

The weekly speaker slots are invaluable in gaining expertise advise.

Overall amazing organisation.

I would thoroughly recommend connecting with Christopher at Convoy Community Ltd. Coming out of redundancy and into the job market is a daughting and unsettling process. Christopher has created a unique community platform for like minded people to connect and network. Christopher provides guidance, support and guest speakers within specialised fields which enables individuals to better understand the current job market and how to navigate themselves into new employment. Convoy has been a great experience and enabled me to connect with an amazing network of people. I wish Chris all the very best for the future, I'm sure that his company and community will continue to grow from strength to strength.

Finding a job is a hard process where the job-seeker often feels isolated and can easily suffer from self-doubt and demotivation, particularly over the last year.

But, I've been lucky enough to have very few "down days" because of the support and daily motivation from the Convoy Community and the Agile approach to job hunting we employ.

At the same time, I've widened my network, helped a lot of people move forwards with their careers and felt accountable to maintain my job search, all of which has massively helped with my well-being and led to my own successes.

Christopher Ross, through Convoy Community, has identified a problem that currently is more urgent, serious and widespread than ever, and he has created (and cultivated) a solution that not only remedies the immediate pain for those experiencing it, but also creates knowledge, forms bonds and builds an ongoing network that we can take forward with us into the future. Being a member of Convoy during my most recent job search expedited my journey and also enriched my life emotionally and intellectually. I am a better person now, because of Convoy, than I was when I started.

Convoy has been a great platform to support people to share their emotions, ideas re job hunting whilst looking for roles.
The daily stand ups with smaller groups gives you encouragement as well as motivation to continue looking for roles and not to give up. It creates a routine for an individual and certainly helped me by increasing my intensity on job hunting. This also resonates with the wider weekly group catch ups.
There is also a weekly speaker series - different topics every week which again is very useful.
I would recommend anyone looking for a role to join Convoy for the immense support you get in the group.
Thank you Christopher for setting up such an amazing platform.

I had a fantastic and supportive journey with Convoy. Highly recommended for anyone looking to return to work with all the support they need behind them.

I learned about convoy community directly from Christopher Ross (founder) and have found the community to be a innovative way for people seeking new job opportunities to support and encourage each other in what is a difficult time for most.

The daily stand up sessions are aimed to be short and the encouragement that you get and can offer to your fellow cohorts is immense. This definitely helped me through the ups and downs of job hunting.

It was refreshing to be in a cohort with varying backgrounds and experiences. This helps to explore wider opportunities rather than just those in your specific area. We were also able to share ideas, advice on websites as well as have a chat about general topics away from job hunting!

The convoy also provides weekly guest speaker sessions with speakers with wide ranging expertise such as personal coaching, well being and developing your Linkedin profile to name just a few.

I would strongly advise people who are looking for a new role to at least join one of the regular introduction sessions held to learn more about convoy community.

I joined when invited by a former colleague in Sept 2020.
Its a great group of experienced professionals, who apply Agile delivery principles to job hunting or kick-starting entrepreneurial plans.

If you're a collaborator who is generous with your time and contributes as much as you wish to benefit; then request to join.

Convoy is simply outstanding - not only for the quality of guest speakers but equally for the supportive, mutually caring environment which it fosters. Simply stunning.

Very grateful to have been part of Convoy, a wonderful community built on mutual support for job hunt and/or entrepreneurship.

I've met brilliant people here and thoroughly enjoyed working together to unlock a next gig or launch a business.

I'd happily recommend Convoy to anyone who'd like to be part of a driven, ambitious and diverse professional community, working together in an agile fashion to get the best career/business outcomes while also being there for one another on the journey.

Thanks Christopher for setting this up. It's truly fantastic!!

A really supportive group of people all working together to help each other find the next job

Incredible platform that is supportive, educational and fun all at the same time. Connects people from all parts of the corporate world who are facing similar circumstances at a point in their careers. Could not think of a better way to go through this journey
