Adele McNicholl

Your Career Partner

Experienced recruiter and Career Partner, helping you build confidence with CVs, interviews and tailored career support.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of candidates take the next step in their careers. Throughout that time, I’ve interviewed candidates at every level, partnered with employers across a wide range of industries and gained first-hand insight into what employers are really looking for in today’s competitive job market.

One thing I've learned is that finding a new job isn't just about having the right experience

It's about knowing how to present yourself, build confidence and communicate your value in a way that helps you stand out.

I also know that looking for a new role can feel overwhelming.

Whether you’re updating your CV, preparing for an important interview, changing careers, returning to work after a break or simply feeling stuck, it can be difficult to know where to begin.

That’s where I can help.

My approach is friendly, honest and completely tailored to you.

I don't believe in generic advice or one-size-fits-all solutions because every career journey is different.

I’ll take the time to understand your experience, your goals and what’s important to you, then work with you to create a clear plan that gives you the confidence to move forward.

Through AC Resourcing, I offer professional CV writing, interview preparation and one-to-one career coaching, all designed to help you showcase your strengths and give you the best possible chance of securing the role you really want.

The part of my job I love most is seeing someone's confidence grow.

Knowing I've played even a small part in helping someone achieve their career goals is incredibly rewarding.

Whether it’s receiving that interview invitation after months of searching or hearing the excitement in someone’s voice when they tell me they’ve been offered the job they wanted, those moments never get old.

Wherever you are in your career journey

I'd love to help you take the next step.

I look forward to being part of your journey.

Testimonials

Working with Adele has been an absolute pleasure.  Her advice and guidance has been invaluable and she has given me great advice when looking at my future career options.  I would definitely recommend her services.  Thank you Adele!’

I can’t recommend Adele highly enough, her tips have been solid gold! Within days of our session I’ve been approached for roles and had requests for 2 interviews. I’ve even found the confidence to record a video job application! I first spoke to Adele 2 months ago who even gave me a boost in our 15 min call but between one thing and another I didn’t get round to booking in with her, I wish I’d done it sooner. Sometimes it feels hard with job hunting and a lack of money coming in, but it’s so worth investing in yourself to give yourself a better chance and Adele is the lady to do it with! Thanks again Adele!!

From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my experience, helped me see how my skills could transfer, and guided me through every stage of the process.  Her interview preparation was invaluable. I went into my interviews feeling prepared, confident and able to communicate my experience in a way I never would have done on my own. Thanks to Adele’s support, I was successful in securing a role
