Supporting Your Next Career Move

…is what we do. We started PiPs in 2011 knowing that former police officers and staff had so much to offer the private sector but were not always great at getting that across.

We have a strong reputation of supporting police officers to make the very best moves into new jobs.

SERVICES

We Support with the services below to help
the transition into new jobs for former police officers

CV and LinkedIn Service

More Info

Talking about yourself in glowing but realistic terms can prove a challenge. Particularly if you have spent decades as a former police officer where a compelling and engaging CV was not a usual requirement – and a CV is very different from any policing application you may have written.

Writing a CV can be an absolute nightmare for most people – we are here to lift that pressure from you.

Why choose us

We've walked in your shoes

We have vast experience in policing and the private sector. We all served as police officers, police staff and as consultants running development programmes. So we understand the culture and language and importantly we have all gone on to become accomplished in our current fields including business and professional development.

We've made the mistakes

Since leaving policing, we have walked the walk. We have made the mistakes, and understand the pitfalls, so now you don’t have to!

Our Commitment to you

Our commitment is to provide meaningful services to our clients, providing the services we wish we could have accessed as we left policing. Perhaps our transition would have been less painful and scary.

We stay up-to-date so you don't have to

We ensure we remain aware of current trends and best practice – what works and what does not.  

Your fast track to success

We are your fast track. You could teach yourself many of these skills over time – if you have time to spare and the drive to do it. Alternatively we can show you what it would take years to notice – the good from the bad and the ugly. We love to work with people who have the drive and energy to succeed, who wouldn’t? And we know they want to achieve that via the quickest route whilst saving their energy and confidence that parts that only they can do.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

“I would add that having Angela review and update my CV has been tremendous – always good to have a fresh pair of eyes going over the material that you collate over the years and I’m really pleased with the results. I was also reminded of so many things I had missed out – much more marketable now! …. Very professional, thanks PiPs!”

Sarah

“I used Angela for help with my CV and linked in profile. I immediately noticed that I started to receive more responses from job applications, even if they were negative I was getting responses whereas before hand I would hear nothing. Having a well written CV and LinkedIn profile gave my more confidence which shone through in interviews. I have managed to get my latest position due that new found confidence.”

Ian

“Angela tells it as it is when advising – just the sort of help one needs.”

Les

“I am proof of Angela’s skills having successfully moved on at a time of my choosing.”

 

Mark

Angela is an inspiration. All you have to do is listen and follow her guidance… brilliant! I can highly recommend Angela. She knows her stuff. I’ve never not had at least an interview

Carl

I need to clarify things here as well in that when I say we both worked on it, that is a euphuism for me providing Angela with a great deal of information and with her doing all the work! I will be quite honest in that my previous CVs contained too much information and whilst I was never really happy with my own work, it is only when you use a service such as offered by Angela and PiPS that you are able to see the ‘wheat from the chaff’.

I am sure many of us get emails offering CV writing services, at varying costs, but PiPS is able to recognise those skills, that we all acquired over many years and translate them into what employers are wanting (hopefully!). Added to this, the cost is about half of what many companies are asking.

The important aspect and thrust of the group, is Police into Private Sector and therefore specific skills and knowledge are required and need to be reflected in your CV. What I would finally say is, if you have doubts about your own version or need help, go to Angela and I know she can help and at a very reasonable cost. Good luck! ”
