… with the Audiotrain Career Development Scheme 
“My session with Caroline helped to turn my career around. She helped me to recognise my skills and to have greater confidence in my CV. Within two weeks I had jumped from making 3 minute packages to having my first 25 minute documentary commissioned. The session gave me a wealth of ideas which I am steadily working through.”
