Why Student Coaching
So, you have been successful in gaining entry to your chosen University course. You arrive on campus filled with excitement, curiosity, enthusiasm and possibly, apprehension. Fresher’s year starts on a great note. Your journey through the first few years of study have their ups and downs; assignments; deadlines; study sessions; extra-curricular activities.
Then, for some of you, things are not quite working out as you had planned.
Questions arise – “Am I doing the right course”? “I’m struggling with the course content”. “I’m struggling with the social aspect of college life”.
In your 3rd/4th year, work placement is an integral part of your course requiring an interview.
What are these organisations/companies/firms looking for in a placement?
What are they looking for in a candidate for Graduate Programmes?
Are you prepared for that interview?
What do I need to do a great interview?
Have I the self-belief?
Have I the confidence to carry off an interview?
Which Graduate Programme should I apply for?
Have I done the interview preparation?
