JA, Physics with Finance (QMUL) – FSA Internship Summer 2011

EmployAbility is about much more than applying for jobs! Justin was excellent at providing help and support throughout the application process - from the form to the final interview. After I received an offer I was invited to an orientation event to enable me get the most from my internship. During the internship itself, I was offered further support and invited to attend networking events with EmployAbility alumni.

RN, MA Diplomacy (Nottingham) – FSA Graduate Development Programme 2011

When I first became aware of the FSA Graduate Development Programme, I was extremely interested in finding out more but nervous about the application process. The support from Justin and everybody at EmployAbility gave me the confidence to apply and their help and advice from the original insight day to the application and then assessment centres was invaluable. I genuinely feel that I would not have been successful without this support.

AA, Chemical Process Engineering (UCL) – Dow Internship 2011

Thanks to you and your excellent team for all of the hard work that you did on my behalf, from checking over my CV and helping me to prepare for my interviews. I am very happy that with this job offer I have been placed on the right path of my career progression. I would not hesitate to recommend EmployAbility to others (with disabilities)...

OB, International Management (University of Manchester)

EmployAbility supported me the whole way through making applications. Justin was always able to help me through the process of letting employers know of my disability. The one thing I learnt from applying for graduate schemes is not to give up after facing rejections from companies and that EmployAbility will be there to help you [...]

AG, Theology (St Andrews University) – FSA Insight Day

I especially found the workshops useful and it was nice to be able to speak to other graduates about their experiences.

HH, Banking & Finance (London Metropolitan University) – FSA Work Placement

I think the work your organisation does can change people’s lives and has had a huge positive impact on my life.

LO, Politics (University of Sussex)

EmployAbility is not just an organisation to make applications through. Over time you build up a relationship with each and every member of the team so that they come to know who you are and what your needs are.

HH, Banking and Finance at London Metropolitan University

Because of the direct approach EmployAbility has, I did not have to spend a lot of time explaining my situation to different employers and so a lot of stress and pressure was taken off me.

LV, Language Sciences (University College London)

I was concerned about how to make potential employers aware of my disability and necessary adjustments for interviews and assessment centres. The support and encouragement I have had from EmployAbility has been fantastic and I have just found out that I will be starting a full time job on the FSA graduate programme next year.

AB, Biology (Bristol University)

I have now been offered a job on a graduate scheme and have no doubt that without the help, guidance and confidence from EmployAbility I would not have it! The team are always there to help and it is so nice to have someone you feel is on your side in what can be a very demoralising process.

OL, Graduate Diploma in Law (College of Law, Bloomsbury)

Thank you so much for yesterday's event at Herbert Smith, it was incredibly useful and really refreshing to hear what you had to say.

KK, Sociology (Durham University)

Employability were so helpful when I got through to an assessment centre for an internship which I subsequently gained for the Summer vacation.

AG, Google Sales role based in Poland, Winter 2011

I was amazed at how committed [EmployAbility] were to help me succeed.

AS, Social Policy and Planning (London School of Economics)

Tab, Justin and Sarah were really supportive. They were professional, friendly and very encouraging. I attended the workshops they gave, and spoke to them individually for advice on applications.

RC, Business Studies (Durham University)

Employability has been the best organisation I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They are highly professional in everything they do and give amazing advice during all stages of your application process.

AH, Business Management (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.

RC, Geography (University of East London)

Sarah Denness was extremely helpful during the online application and interview stage of the selection process for Goldman Sachs where I was offered a Summer Internship.

AS, London School of Economics

When I applied to Goldman Sachs and UBS through EmployAbility, I was confident that I had their support behind me.

MH, Business Computing Systems (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.

MH, Business Computing Systems at City University (2005)
