Anne Drouet-Majlergaard, Head of the Job Centre at the French Embassy in Denmark:
“Mette ran a workshop for French citizens registered at the Job Centre of the French Embassy in December 2009. With a clear and direct presentation, Mette gave practical tips for creating CVs and writing applications. At the end of the session, all the participants agreed that it had been highly beneficial and that Mette's positive and enthusiastic personality had inspired them in their job seeking efforts in Denmark. So I can warmly recommend Mette's assistance to other expats looking for a job in Denmark.”
Géraldine Rylander, France, found her job through Supporting People during a recession period (2009):
“Working with Mette makes a great difference. She is very professional with a great sense of detail and a lot of tenacity. While headhunters already considered my applications and CV well-written, she nevertheless found ways of improving them. And this has paid off, since I got various interviews. Mette remains available any time for advice and is especially committed to what she does. She is not only a skilled professional but also a great person, who knows how to encourage and motivate without favour. With Mette's help, I found a job within 5 months. Not only "a job" but my dream job in one of the well-known Danish companies. For all these reasons, I heartily recommend Mette to anyone who wants to integrate fast in Danish society.”
Luis Martinez, took advantage of invaluable advice from Supporting People (2010):
“Mette's professional approach, personal care, experience and attention to detail were key elements in helping my job search process. Her consulting service expanded and improved my chances of getting a job and was an important factor in getting me through to interview stage. As a foreigner, it is important to have a Danish reference that not only copes with the local cultural recruitment mindset but also has a strong network. I would also highly recommend Mette and Supporting People in the areas of cultural intelligence, diversity, career advisory and professional development as a fresh and effective option.”
Ulrika B. Thomsen, Virginia, USA, considering moving to Denmark for work:
“Thanks to the outstanding professional assistance of Mette Rønning Steffensen I have been able to revamp my CV/resume getting it up to par and properly structured. My new and well composed CV gives employers the ability to quickly and efficiently understand my competencies and background. With this in mind I now feel confident that I have an upper hand in the selection process given the present competitive and somewhat fierce job market conditions. With her emotional intelligence Mette Rønning Steffensen understands people and their challenges. She expresses herself well and is a good listener. It is a great pleasure to work with Mette as she is not just knowledgeable but also very encouraging, easy to work with, and just an outstanding professional.”
