We pride ourselves on total satisfaction from each and every valued client. Each recruit carries with them the reputation of Worldnet Recruitment which we hope is reflected in the testimonials from our clients   Sonia Middleditch - Managing Director

   "After many years of seeking an appropriate Overseas Brokerage I came across WorldNet's Recruitment Campaign via the International papers and enquired as to how they could assist in seeking a reputable Advisory firm which would meet my requirements of support and backing. I was delighted to meet the Staff at WorldNet who were ever so helpful and promptly guided me through a selection process and placed me on a week's residential course in Framlingham.

The course content was extremely rewarding in many ways. Having already tripped out as an International Advisor for several years, I presumed that I knew everything until after the course, where I was so pleased with attending, as I gained more knowledge, friends and useful but all important do's and don'ts.

This has all helped me out here to no end and am eternally thankful to WorldNet. I have now successfully been placed with a reputable and expanding firm in United Arab Emirates and am pleased to say have been writing sizeable business, more than I have ever done before. I have gained a lot of respect from my new clients, from all corners of the earth, from the information I deliver to them and the service I give.

Again, thanks to Sonia, Olena and the training team at WorldNet. In parting, I would say to anyone simply 'thinking' of going abroad to 'Just Do It' and reap the rewards, fun and a better life style the International Life has to offer. Good Luck!!"

   The broad range of skills, knowledge and perspective of the presenters on the WorldNet training course provided a wholly rounded understanding of what would be required working offshore: the markets, culture and sales environment; the professional & personal techniques and awareness necessary to survive and thrive; all reinforcing that the 'pot of gold' was real and attainable - but endurance was the key. Superb course! I gained a positive benefit - even when the initial impact was negative - because this proved there was more than one way to crack this "offshore" nut.

   It is with great pleasure that I give this Testimonial: I would like to thank WorldNet Recruitment & Training for giving me the opportunity to expand to my full potential in this industry. I came offshore at a time that the UK Financial Services Industry was in turmoil. They were able to place me with a first class organisation. This was achieved by selective recruitment based on various factors that WorldNet Recruitment & Training were able to spot during their training course.

I am now currently in my sixth year offshore. I was promoted to Sales Director for the largest Asian Offshore Brokers last year and enjoying every minute.   

G. Cuzzocrea, WorldNet Graduate December 1998 (International Sales Director for OFS(Asia))

   Attending the training course at WorldNet was a great experience. Being almost 25 at the time, I knew I had a lot to learn, but I was ready to absorb the product and sales training and learn more about expatriate life to enable me to focus on a particular country. I particularly enjoyed the personal development training by Richard Parramint from Positive Speech and learnt a lot about myself.
All the delegates from the group bonded instantly and we all still keep in touch.
I found Sonia very approachable and she advised me which countries and markets would be more suitable, bearing in mind my age and gender. I now have a fabulous career ahead of me and I am very happy that both my husband and cat will also be joining me.
I have learnt that having a positive and determined spirit put me in good stead to securing a position with an excellent brokerage in the Middle East. I keep in touch with Sonia and Olena and am most grateful to them for all their help.   

Amber Hopley, WorldNet Graduate May 2004 (currently based in the Middle East)

   Dear Sonia,

I would like to thank you and Olena for your professional organisation and attitude during the Offshore Financial Training course I participated to with 7 others on 5th December 2005.

Apart from enjoying very much the company of the other participants, the beautiful area, the excellent accommodation in Aldeburgh and the good food in classic local pubs, I learnt a lot on the approach to the Offshore financing thanks to the high quality of the trainers and the companies they represent. Their presentations were clear, easy to grasp and highly professional.

In my opinion, this one-week course is ideal even to a newcomer in the industry (which I am), as it provides the necessary basics to be able to start selling the various offshore investment and pension plans products available to the expatriates all over the world. I also appreciated the feedback from various players of the industry such as people who have been involved in the sales for many years and who are enjoying the financial rewards it has given them. The last day with Richard Parramint, a professional coach, helped me understand a lot about myself and the attitude to demonstrate when faced with potential clients.

In a nutshell, the whole course is well worth the money invested and I now cannot wait to reap off the financial and lifestyle rewards this opportunity is going to give me.

I wish to thank you again for giving me this lifetime opportunity of being able to achieve my most ambitious dreams and for the quick placement you helped me to find in Kuwait with a professional and serious brokerage who is providing me with exactly everything which was mentioned i.e. flights, accommodation and visa assistance. As far as I am concerned, you have fulfilled every promise you made during our first meeting and I can only praise the services of WorldNet Recruitment & Training. I shall keep you informed about how I am setting up in Kuwait.   

Isabelle, WorldNet Graduate December 2005 (currently based in Kuwait)

   The course was excellent and the presenters were all beneficial, in their own way. Sonia and Olena looked after us wonderfully. It really did feel a privilege to be there and that you were being taken care of.
There was a lot to take in, but it was done in a relaxed atmosphere with no added pressure. Delighted and looking forward to my new start. It will be an absolute honour if Sonia invites me back to discuss my ‘success’ overseas!   

Philip Anderson, WorldNet Graduate July 2006 (currently based in Kuwait)

   I felt the course was well structured from the text book outset to the realms of field realism at the close. Each presenter showed a strong knowledge in each field of their willingness to explain further over lunch and dinner was beyond their call of duty which was very refreshing.
 
Sonia and Lauren hosted the course in a true diplomatic style with personal touches that made the course shine.
Each of our group gelled the day before the course started and today we keep in touch thanks to Sonia who showed such personal diligence from the first step.
 
To summarize, very proud to be on the course where, standards, contents, subject were highly commendable. Thank you Sonia and Lauren.

   I met Sonia, following an awful experience in my first offshore position, where the broker that I had joined were one of the bad apples, and had returned to the UK, looking for the right opportunity for me. Sonia quickly put me at ease and through the excellent professional manner in which she worked, she has used her vast experience in matching the candidate with the broker that she felt would be right for them.
 
I definitely feel that Sonia has all the credentials to be able to identify with her candidate, and to know instinctively where the candidate would be best suited, and I feel that without her help, her vast contacts and her know how, I would still be worrying about my next move, but through attending the course with WorldNet, I feel that I am in the right place to really make a mark in the world of offshore financial services!
 
For that, I would like to thank Sonia and Lauren, and would recommend anyone in a similar position, to utilise this great service!   

M Daly, WorldNet Graduate March 2009 (currently based in Frankfurt)

   It gives me great pleasure to give this testimonial to WorldNet Recruitment and Training.
 
I first contacted Sonia in 2006, after an awful experience working for a well known brokerage in Baku. I was more than impressed with the way Sonia reassured me not all offshore brokers were the same.
 
I was quickly put at ease through Sonia's unique, friendly and professional manner and after an initial interview, found myself being placed with a brokerage in Bahrain within 2 days of our meeting, where I enjoyed 2 very good years.
 
However after a brief time back in the UK, I turned to WorldNet for help again and was quickly marketed through Sonia's many contacts within in the world. I am now placed with the best brokerage in Asia, Gilt Edge International Group where I enjoy the many exciting opportunities within the Asian ex-pat market place and have as Sonia promised become part of the GEI family.
 
I would more than recommend WorldNet Recruitment and Training to anyone who is seriously looking for a career in Offshore Financial Services, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime and thanks to Sonia and her team have achieved all the many expectations and promises made to me from our first meeting and will be forever in your debt, Thank you. I will endeavour to keep you posted of my progress in Shanghai and Beijing.   

S Cherry, WorldNet Applicant 2006 & 2009 (currently based in Asia)

   I would like to thank Sonia and Lynda for a fantastic week, not only did they present a professional and uplifting training course but also made me feel more than welcome.
I like many financial advisers have felt the impact on our industry in this country and contacted WorldNet after a colleague of mine recommended Sonia, from the initial interview with Sonia I knew it was the right move.
The presenters were all interesting and beneficial and I met the broker who I will be working for in Dubai and came away from the course with a new direction in life, I really enjoyed the course and how it was run and made some good friends, I am looking forward to a new start and would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to working offshore.
The advice and training from WorldNet is invaluable, thanks again Sonia and Lynda.
