Why we do what we do

Why we provide business owners with scaleable support services to achieve leveraged results.

GWS Professional Services was founded by Michelle Forrester in 2017 to provide support services to her consulting clients who were  frustrated with the lack of professional, smart ‘ad-hoc’ support available locally.  Many of them had tried with mixed results to employ virtual assistants offshore or made do with casual or part time students or “mums”.  What they found was…..

Why we provide people with alternative career pathways so that they may flourish personally and professionally.

Founding advisers Jessica Mowle and Jasmine Kim understand how hard it is to get a foot in the door in Australian firms and businesses after years of higher education, hard work and juggling ad hoc casual work to pay the bills only to find the doors to most jobs in their chosen profession to be firmly closed.

In May 2017, they were willing to try new ideas to attain their holy grail and met Michelle at her very first “Job Audition”.  The initial job ad on seek looked like any other however had a twist or two. Instead of the dry cumbersome questions to address in your application & request for an academic transcript, the first step was completing a survey. The second step was being put into a random situation, as a volunteer at a charity breakfast, and given instructions on the fly as to what to do. The third step was a group interview, focusing on what you have done and what you want to do, rather than the traditional strengths and weaknesses style questions.
