MLH Coaching
About us

We understand career progression because we've lived it

Real experience. Proven skills. Focused on helping you achieve your goals.

Our story

We will support your career progression based on our experience

MLH Coaching provides tailored sessions to maximise the support available to support your career progression.

Based on our career progression, we understand the challenges in making the next step in your career. With experience on both sides of the hiring process, we bring practical insight to support your goals.

We also understand the impact the right mentor can have because we have experienced it ourselves. We will work with you to maximise your strengths, build your confidence and unlock your potential.

How we work

Four things you can expect from us

Honest, not just encouraging

Encouragement on its own doesn't get anyone a job. If an answer isn't landing or a CV is burying your best work, we'll say so — and then we'll help you fix it.

Practical over theoretical

No models, no personality types, no homework for its own sake. We work on your actual CV, your actual application and the roles you're actually going for.

Built on real experience

We've sat on both sides of the table — applying for the jobs and later shortlisting for them. What we tell you is what we've seen work.

Yours, at your pace

No subscriptions and no pressure to buy the bigger package. Take what you need, come back when you need more, or don't.

In their words

What that looks like for the people we work with

Through mentor support, I have been promoted twice within 12 months. I received tailored support that broke down my skills, knowledge and experience and presented them in a way that showcased my strengths. Together, we transformed my applications into a format that consistently secured interviews and gave me the opportunity to demonstrate my capabilities.

I would highly recommend MLH Coaching to anyone looking to develop their career, strengthen their applications, and build the confidence needed to pursue new opportunities.

ElizabethOne-to-one mentoring

I really appreciate all the support given to me throughout what felt like an application minefield. The coaching provided helped me understand how to highlight key examples, write strong personal statements, and create an effective CV. Constructive feedback was provided on multiple application drafts and roles that matched my skills were proactively suggested. I would highly recommend MLH Coaching to anyone returning to job applications or looking for a new role.

What a session is like

A conversation with work in it

Sessions run online at a time that fits around work. Nobody is asked to perform, and there’s nothing you need to have prepared beyond turning up.

  1. 1

    Before we start

    You send over whatever's relevant — a CV, a job advert, a person specification. We read it properly beforehand so the session isn't spent catching up.

  2. 2

    During the session

    One-to-one and conversational. We work on the thing in front of us rather than talking about it in the abstract, and you're welcome to disagree with us.

  3. 3

    Afterwards

    You leave with something concrete: a redrafted section, a set of interview answers, or an agreed next step. If we said we'd look at something, we will.

Who we work with

No particular industry, no particular level

Applications, interviews and progression work in much the same way wherever you are. People we help usually recognise themselves in one of these:

  • People coming to the end of an apprenticeship or training scheme
  • Anyone going for a first management or supervisory role
  • Experienced people who've not applied for anything in years
  • Career changers moving between sectors
  • People returning to work after a break
  • Anyone who keeps getting to interview and no further

Not on the list? It doesn’t mean we can’t help. See what we offer or just ask.
