Testimonials:
“[As result of the training] I will engage in meaningful conversations with employers without overthinking it in my head.”
“[As a result of the training] I’ve already scheduled a face-to-face meeting with a company. I wouldn’t typically pin down a follow up date, this is something I’m going to always do moving forwards and can see how this will allow for the foundations of good working relationship to develop”
“All of it was extremely useful, the main point was writing a statement for the first EE visit and not coming on too strong, just be breezy and complimentary.”
