"The interview practice was great, you were very confident which showed me you were experienced and knew exactly what you were doing. Being very specific with what needed to be changed helped me realise my strengths and weaknesses and you made sure I understood everything you were explaining. Giving me examples of what they would expect made me reflect on what I have done and how it would benefit the interview.
The interview practice has helped me very much with my preparation for the interview and I feel a lot more confident with the interview process now we have had that practice."
(Cameron - Interview preparation for electrical apprenticeship)
"Russ couldn’t have surfaced at a better time. My cleaning business had temporarily shut shop due to COVID-19 and had advertised his assistance on social media. From our first initial connection, he was polite, helpful and so easy to talk too. He listened to everything I had to take into consideration, equally wanted to take into account what jobs I could see myself doing at this unusual time, plus, he had the most useful advice to freshen and make my CV work for me. I never felt rushed or that I was time-consuming. I couldn’t have been more appreciative and impressed by the nougat time and help he gave me! Thanks." (Natalie)
"Just wanted to send you a thank you email, for telling me about the Kickstart Scheme. I have now been working in a Kickstart placement for 2 weeks now. So just wanted to thank you for telling me about it otherwise I wouldn't be in my job now." (Jennifer)
