Testimonials

AH, Business Management at Newcastle University

Before meeting Employability, I found job searching extremely hard. However after talking through my strengths, weaknesses, and career plans with Tab and Justin, I felt a far greater understanding of what I wanted to do in my career, and the ways in which I could achieve it.

MH, Business Computing Systems at City University

I successfully gained a place on a Summer Analyst Program at Merrill Lynch. By taking part in the internship I have realised I can cope in a fast paced environment and have found areas which I would like to explore in terms of pursuing a full time career.

I was told many times that the selection was based on merit so I now feel confident that I have the ability to work at a place like Goldman Sachs.

BR, Accounting & Finance at Manchester Metropolitan

Prior to interning at UBS I was very apprehensive that I may not be good enough or able to cope. EmployAbility staff provided reassurance and both from that and my experiences I am far more confident in my own ability.

PS, Maths & Economics at University of Nottingham

I attended an EmployAbility skills workshop where I had to present. They also helped me think about how to present myself in interviews and at assessment centres. EmployAbility helped me gain a place on the Barclay Summer Internship Programme, and I have now been offered a graduate job at Barclays in the Tax division. EmployAbility are a very helpful organisation. [They] gave me a lot more confidence when applying where sometimes I doubted my ability due to dyslexia, also pushing me to do well during the internship. Keep up the good work!

RB, Physics & Philosophy at Bristol University

It helped receiving the email updates to alert me to job opportunities. It also helped to have someone to talk to discuss things with. Justin assisted me by editing my covering letter. He also visited me [at home] to discuss the adjustments I would need for my internship at the National Audit Office (NAO). I was more confident with adjustments in place for my job at the NAO, and knowing there was someone I could call if I needed to.

AA, University College London

I regularly spoke with Sarah Denness who advised me on how to prepare for the interviews/assessment centres and encouraged me to apply as I originally wasn’t sure if I be suited. Conversations with Sarah were very useful as she assured me that they’d support me throughout the assessment process. EmployAbility arranged for me to sit the numerical/verbal tests in Barclays Wealth’s offices in London so that I could have extra time if needed. They also supported me throughout the assessment centre. [I have now been offered] a permanent job on the Private Banking Graduate Programme at Barclays Wealth. Thank you very much for your kind help and support.
