Feedback from similar events we’ve run recently, involving over 200 participants from 12 countries, is that 100% of participants found their practice interview experience to be valuable. Indeed, over 96% found it either ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ valuable. However, it’s the words of the participants which really tell the story:
"The past 2 days have really enabled me to face & challenge my fears & preconceptions, but in a totally supportive and safe environment."

""I wish I could have more of such platforms to express myself.”
Interviewee, Ghana
“This was my first interview session with an international interviewer in my life... I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was the first interview where I stammered without any tension . It was my learning experience and boosted my morale and confidence to present myself for any interview in the future.”
Interviewee, India
“The program made me be more confident for my next interview processes and think less about my stutter. After the practice interview, I began a recruitment process with the same interviewer.”

“As someone who stammers, I could really have done with something like this 10 years ago when I was entering the world of work.”
Chris Gemmell, Interviewer, Sage Group.
