With the support of ITonlinelearning, he received a comprehensive CV revision and LinkedIn profile update to enhance his job search efforts. In May 2024, Michael, got invited for his very first interview and he had his doubts because this was an IT Support Manager role. I had no doubt that Michael would ace his interview because he was amazing, and any company would be lucky to have him. In just 8 weeks in recruitment, Michael secured the role as an IT Support Manager, he could not believe how quickly he managed to secure a role.

Recommendation  

Michael, highly recommends ITonlinelearning to anyone looking to change careers. He recommends to anyone that has potentially broken into their first role, to wait a few months, to see how they can upskill themselves so that they may be able to study further and add more value to their company. He highly recommends the IT industry and couldn’t be happier with the level of professionalism he received from ITonlinelearning.
