Applications advice

Whilst the current situation is having a significant impact on recruitment globally, some employers are still promoting remote work opportunities and internships, and further study and scholarships are still open to applications. In these challenging times, it's even more important to ensure your applications make a positive impact. This appointment is aimed at those who have drafted an application, (CV, cover letter, personal statement etc.), for something specific and want advice on how to improve it before sending it off.

Interview coaching

If you've been invited to a live or recorded video interview, this role-play style appointment will aim to simulate the experience of the real thing to help you better understand the process and improve your interview technique. It's also an excellent opportunity to highlight and fix any software or connectively issues before heading into the real thing.
