“Great feedback and a very positive experience. He took time to ask relevant questions about my background, helping me identify and highlight past experiences that I had not included in my CV. He also made sure he unerstood my responsibilities and achievement so that no important details were missed. Communication was excelled, he responded very quickly, updating my CV withiin just a few hours. The final result was clear, professional, and well tailored to my experience and profile. Ready to submit it. ”

Hedge Fund Mock Coffee Chat

“Great chat. Sounds very kind. Starting off, showed up a bit late (5mins) but stayed overtime to make up for it. Session was on networking and making it work. He gave 5 tips on having coffee chats and making them more bearable: have them talk about themselves, try and prepare talking point for this that are also informative for you and shows that you have put thought into this chat. If it is physical, make sure your body language is inviting. Have an ask and this would give the chat purpose and a map to follow to. The questions that follow this would be simple and open. We also talked about networking reachouts and how to do them, he gave a template and tips on that as well.”
