Meeting Jonny has been a fantastic experience. I don’t think there’s any substitute for talking to someone that's not just in the career you want to do, but being incredibly successful in that career.

One of the things I was keen to ask Jonny is what were the skills he thought he had and that someone like me could learn. So, I’ve got a long list of things to do and I’ve got some equipment to buy as well. I’ve learnt a lot, had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend it.

'Thank you for the chat and tips today. Such a cool concept and super helpful.'

I spent a day with Ali which I thought went very well. I was really concerned about spending £450 but I’ve spent more than this in the past… Ali has helped me focus on my brand, the vision for my business and my target customer. All of this makes me realise the mistakes I made with the investments I’ve made previously – in a way, I wish I had met Ali earlier as I now feel I’m on the right path.

She’s been really helpful and given me some contacts in the industry who might be best suited to my vision. I wasn’t sure previously how to price my products, so she’s talked me through how she does hers and has also given me a template business plan which we worked through, so now I have a much better and clearer idea of what I should be charging. All in all, to learn from someone who you know is successful is really reassuring. The fact she believes in what I’m trying to do and gave up a whole day to help me get there is great – consequently, I would happily recommend others do the same.

I have long wanted to pursue photography as a career, but I have always stumbled when it came to the Marketing and Business aspects of it. Through ViewVo I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Annie Armitage and had a phone call with her. She was very personable and forthcoming when demystifying Networking and various methods of contacting potential clients in the various fields of photography. She was also good enough to inform me of how to organize editing and other aspects of the day to day running. With her background I can see how she has become a successful photographer. Rest assured, if you talk to Annie, you are receiving advice from one of the very best in the business.

I would highly recommend Viewvo to anyone looking to change their current career path. In fact, I already have! Prior to having my children I had a long career in the Financial industry. However, I’ve always been passionate about interior design...but had so many questions and doubts about how achievable this would be and what my next step should be.

After discovering Viewvo at a careers fair and noticing that Rachel Laxer was one of the mentors I saw this as an opportunity not to be missed - and the fee goes to charity so it was a win win. Rachel is a fantastic person to shadow, a real inspiration having made a hugely successful career change into interior design from a prior career in Finance.

Rachel later invited me to be involved in the amazing interior design breast cancer charity event that she is co-chair for, Holiday House which launched in London this month. Through helping out at Holiday House I have met a number of other designers and professionals within the design industry so it has been an immensely rewarding process.

What ViewVo offers is a really cool way to get behind the scenes, to see the bits that you would never get to see as a customer or as an outsider. I had the opportunity to spend the day at the stables and ask all the questions I had but wasn’t sure who to ask. I’ve had a great day and it’s been really helpful – I would highly recommend job shadowing and being able to meet a mentor.
