Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in career development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Anne Galloway, Founder of Power-to-Change - your path to career success, located in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a Certified Advance Resume Writer (CARW), Certified Employment Interview Consultant (CEIC), and Careers Coach with an ICF-approved Certificate in Career Coaching Practice; my number 1 aim is to help clients get the job they want. In 2021, I was recognized as a TORI Award-winning resume writer by Career Directors International. My key clients are those who struggle to sell themselves confidently to get the job they want. I work with people at all stages in their careers, from students and people returning to work after a career break to senior executives and across industries.
Tell us about yourself
I re-trained as a career consultant after relocating to The Netherlands from Scotland with my husband's work. I had to give up a job I enjoyed and then reinvent myself, so I fully understand what many of my clients go through when trying to figure out the right job for them. I enjoy helping people to sell themself on their resumes and in interviews, and I am motivated by my clients' results. It is due to their results that all my work is now through word of mouth.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Not having to pay for advertising as my clients do all my advertising for me.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Learning to say no!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't wait until you are 100% happy with your website before starting, as your website will always be a work in progress.
- Know your boundaries and values and stick to them.
- Know and use your strengths and hire others to do the things you are not so good at.
