I thought the cv information was really interesting as I had not been aware of many of the things you could do with a cv e.g. storytelling. I also thought the tip on following up an application with the company will be really useful because I have never done this before. A really informative workshop, which taught me lots of helpful tips and tricks to improve my performance during the job hunting process. Thanks,

Mike’s help was invaluable in helping me secure a graduate job. He gave me so much confidence in my ability even when I was feeling quite demoralised by the lengthy application processes! I particularly benefited from Mike’s advice to formulate my interview answers in a structured, story-like way to engage the interviewer. He went above and beyond my expectations, providing me tailored, personalised advice throughout the process, and overall being a thoughtful, knowledgable and inspirational mentor. I can’t thank Mike enough for his help and for helping me believe in myself as much as he did!

I think the discussion around interviews was particularly good, in terms of practical tips that might seem obvious having interviewed a lot of people but definitely aren’t obvious coming straight out of school or university! I thought the ability to draw on real examples from both your and Helen’s experience made it feel a lot more tangible and relatable. A good overview of the process of applying to jobs and helped reduce some of the uncertainty that can be involved. Thanks

Mike was a huge help and resource for me throughout the turbulent process of securing a graduate job post my Masters’ degree. Beginning with providing advice on my CV content and structure and helping with finding job opportunities and then progressing on to helping research specific companies I applied for and aiding with interview practice by thinking of possible questions, Mike helped me to feel prepared and ready to face the entire application process. Crucially, his supportive and personalised approach meant that I always felt able to talk to Mike about any issues I was having with applications, and this helped to give me the confidence to succeed and secure my graduate role and I wish to thank Mike again for his invaluable support.

Mike has been a great asset to our son over many months while he worked out what he wanted to do after graduating. Not only was Mike consistently available as a sounding board and source of ideas but he also helped with interview practice and planning and preparation for Assessment Centres. It makes a huge difference having a non-family member for a young job seeker to talk to, an external perspective is very valuable (even if expressing the same opinion as a parent!)
