Client stories

• I came in wanting a planner title immediately. We spent most of the session mapping which Niedersachsen sites actually hire planners from warehouse leads — slower than I hoped, but I stopped applying to the wrong adverts.

• The CV review caught that I had buried three peak seasons and my forklift licence date. After the rewrite I got two first interviews within a month. The call itself felt short; I wish we had booked the longer advisory slot the same week.

• Mock interview for a dispatcher role at a regional forwarder. They drilled me on a late trailer scenario until my answers stopped sounding rehearsed. I still stumbled once in the real interview, but I recovered the way we practised.

• Three coaching sessions while I left nights. The middle one was mostly about saying no to another night-lead offer that paid more. Hard conversation. I took a daytime control-desk role two months later with a small pay cut I had already accepted on paper.

Case note: shift lead to junior planner

A client with six years in a parcel hub near Leer wanted daytime planning work without relocating beyond Niedersachsen. In the flagship advisory session we listed employers that historically promote from operations, separated true planner ads from “planner” titles that were still 80% floor coverage, and drafted questions about on-call Friday evenings.

Over eight weeks she completed a CV review and one interview preparation session for a specific offer. She accepted a junior planner contract with a six-month Befristung — not ideal, but with written clarity on extension criteria. Follow-up email after month two confirmed the on-call load matched what the hiring manager had described.
