By highlighting transferable skills from voluntary work, Leanne moved from “no call backs” to a new part-time role in just 8 weeks
Emma went from doubting her value after redundancy to negotiating a £6k higher salary in her new role
Why I Do This
I’ve been there, finding out I was expecting my first child, then being made redundant and taking time out that turned into a full career break.
I know the mix of emotions: excitement, worry and the quiet fear that getting back into work might never happen.
I’ve also sat on the other side of the hiring table as an HR professional, reviewing thousands of CVs and seeing brilliant women overlooked simply because their story wasn’t told right.
I started Back to Brilliance to change that, because your value isn’t erased by a career break.
With the right positioning, you can walk into an interview feeling confident, credible and in control of your next chapter.

"Samantha (Magenta Core HR Solutions) and I worked together to create and shape my professional work story. Throughout the process, Samantha carefully listened to me, and gave me guidance that is in tune with the workplace today, and she crafted my story step-by-step, and created a suite of ready-to-use resume and executive summaries which are tailored to the kind of work I am currently searching for, giving me the confidence to apply for suitable roles straight-away.
She is knowledgeable in various industries and is capable of collating important information and presenting you in the way you wish to be presented through your professional work story. Samantha takes the time to truly understand you, your work background and experience and where you want to go in your career.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Samantha and I highly recommend her for her knowledge, guidance, creativity, and support."
