Career Clinics

Our career clinics are designed to help you become better prepared and more confident in knowing what to expect for job applications, interviews and assessment days. They enable you to develop a more rounded set of skills and qualities that are highly desired by employers.

Employers continually mention they would like to see an improvement in the quality of CV applications, competency of interviews and a development in the mindset and attitude required in the world of work. We therefore offer three core career clinics to help ensure you stand out:

• Excel in CV and Cover Letter Writing!

• Ace that Interview!

• Unleash your Inner Entrepreneur!
