Student feedback

"Very informative, useful and organised. The interview was a very useful way to figure out what I need in an actual interview and enabled me to make potential connections. Variety of different roles which were all very interesting to learn about."

“I thoroughly enjoyed getting interviewed, I found the process quite useful. It helped identify other possible career paths as well as it put my vocational skills into practice.”

“Initially I was nervous to be interviewed, but it went really well with Max. I was able to identify where I did well and how I can improve myself. It was also insightful on learning different career roles and connecting with other members.”
