“Seeing other people’s barriers made me realise I wasn’t the only person with those fears.”

“Big obstacles are broken down and made more manageable.”

“I now have an idea of what I want to do in life.”

"The exercises were a fantastic way to get kids that age to think about things they do in a new light so that they could use them in their personal statements and CVs."

“The students at Weald thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to discuss and develop their plans for the future. The process was enjoyable but also encouraged them to be thinking ahead about where they want to be and more importantly, how to get there."

Why should I buy the 'First Steps To Getting An Interview' programme?

Employers, colleges and universities are faced with 100s of applications to choose from and will spend no more than 15-20 seconds looking at each one.

Your CV or personal statement is the first and only thing a prospective employer, recruiter, college or university has to judge you on so it is essential that you create a professional and lasting impression on them that makes them invite you along for an interview.

Is this you now?

The advantage of the 'First Steps To Getting An Interview!' programme is that it will ensure your CV or personal statement stands out from all the others and gives you every chance of getting an interview with a potential employer, college or university.

Would you like this to be you now?

When you are writing your first CV for job interviews or your personal statement for a college or university application, it is hard to know what qualities, skills and positive attributes you have.  It is hard to tell yourself that you are great and why you should be given the job, college or university place above the next person. 

The programme gives you a place to explore all your qualities and listen to what other likeminded people say about themselves to give you ideas. 

You are able to create your own CV or personal statement using the step by step support guide, tools used by others in the DVD and CV templates on the CD in your pack, whilst watching the DVD.

“It’s a different forum for you to think about what you want to do in life.”

“It has made me put things in the future in to perspective.”

“It was put in a nice layout so you can refer back to it."

 “It has given me more motivation to try harder.”

“It helped me to see the future is not as unobtainable as I thought it was.”

"It helped me write a brilliant CV that got me lots of interviews and I am now in a job."

 "I thought it was great to see the kids in the film actually carrying out the process and sharing the things they had come up with."
