FFC Kind Words

In case you’re curious, some thoughts of art conservators that we worked together on a FFC session:

.

Laura, paintings conservation student, Spain
— "For those interested: I had a meeting with Marta some days ago, and it was such an exciting and positive experience! She gave me so much feedback on my CV and network profile, and helped me see little but important details I hadn’t noticed. I was able to improve my CV a lot and give a clearer idea of my background and actual goals, and she also taught me about how to clarify concepts so that they are understood internationally. I didn’t have any determined goals or plan, yet she reassured me and gave me tips on how to start thinking about my future. Moreover she was really professional, also nice and sweet, so I encourage anybody that have doubts or feels they need some advice, try it! 😊"

Magdalena, paintings conservator, Poland
— "Passing forward an amazing initiative by Marta Estadella Colomé! Her feedback gave me more clarity, self confidence and definitely helped me to improve my CV and motivation letter. Marta told me how to highlight my best skills and how to simplify and compress some other informations. I'm really grateful for all the time she spent to answer all of my questions!"

.
María, paintings conservator, Australia
— "Marta has always been so helpful! Since I have known her she has always had this vocational and special skill to listen and understand you. Even when you struggle to fully express yourself! All her sensitivity, international experience, and work in detail make her the perfect mentor 😊"

Lena, sculpture conservation student, France
— “I was searching an internship abroad for the second semester of my conservation studies. After several unsuccessful attempts I asked help to Marta. She had generously help me to review my administrative documents, help me to plan a contact list and she even help me to call the concerned persons. Thanks to her help I could understand where my application was in the different administrative departments contacted. I could found an internship place after some weeks. Her help was precious. Do not hesitate to contact her!”

Marie, metal conservator, Scotland
— “Giving feedback from a trustworthy colleague allows several things: text editing and clarity; the confirmation by an outside eye that what you show is what you want people to see; but above all, it allows you to gain self-confidence, to rely on the conviction of having done your best. And to inject dynamism into the application”.

.
Claudia, paintings conservator, Spain
— “She has been of great help to me both to focus my CV and to prepare my motivation letter. She has guided and taught me to show my work, knowing how to highlight what is most important, paying attention to every detail of the text and organizing my ideas that sometimes it is so difficult for me to capture!”.

Sohyla, conservation student, Egypt
— "Marta help me so much with my current scientific research and for the search of my master's program. She gave me important information about many subjects that where helpful for me. Thank you Marta so much to clarify many points for me and for your advise on helping me improve many skills".
