Over the last 12 weeks our Job Hunters have taken part in a range of activities, working with experts and mentors in the hope of becoming more employable! They've now reached the end of their time on the programme so we asked each of them for their verdicts on the whole experience.

Gemma Price: Stay-at-home mum

Mum Gemma felt that taking part in X-Ray helped her improve in confidence. "I feel less of a mum now and more like my own person. I've proved to myself that I can do more and will do more."

She has now been offered some work in a local bar over Christmas and is confident of finding regular work soon.

Gemma has some advice for others in the same situation as her: "If you have the support in terms of looking after the children and feel ready to go out and work, then get in touch with organisations that can help. There is help available out there."

Gemma Price reflects on her experiences

Gareth Abbott-Haigh: Graduate

Sports science graduate Gareth is now working as a teaching assistant and plans to re-apply for a teacher training place for next year.

He says taking part in the programme has helped him improve his interview skills.

Gareth's advice to other graduates in a similar situation is to be resilient: "Trying to get a job is a full time job in itself. Look for jobs in all avenues - internet, newspapers etc. Be persistent and know what you want to do."

Dwayne Landeg: NEET (not in education, employment or training)

Three months ago, teenager Dwayne thought he wanted to be a chef. He says being on X-Ray helped him decide which career path to pursue and taught him the importance of turning up for work on time.

"What the chefs do every day it really isn't for me. I'm in retail now and I'm enjoying it so far."

He is now working at a discount retail store and thinks this could be the career for him!

Alan Goss: High flyer

55-year-old Alan says he decided to take part in X-Ray because he was coming out of self employment after a long time. "I was lacking in confidence even though I might not have looked it. But that's picked up now and I understand that age is not an issue. My job hunt is under control now and that feels much better."

Alan's advice to people going for high-level jobs is to treat interviews like a sale. "My tip to any other job hunter is whether they feel good or bad at the process is to dedicate serious time to it because the amount you do has a direct impact on the results you get back."

Timothy Rees: Newly redundant

Ex-factory worker Tim is retraining as a heavy machinery operator and feels that being one of the Job Hunters has been beneficial to him. "I feel that my confidence has improved, but it can improve further. I've also learnt to be more positive," he says.

And Tim's advice to others in a similar situation: "Don't give up. When you don't get success initially don't assume it's your fault. If you're ready for work, it will happen."
