Career Coaching for University students

Overview

There are several steps you can take as a university student to enhance your chances of being hired. Building your skills and knowledge will help you to take advantage of opportunities to gain relevant skills and knowledge through coursework, internships, and other experiential learning opportunities.

Job Application Documents & Interview Preparation for University Students

Networking with professionals in your field of interest and building relationships with professionals in your field of interest can help you learn more about different careers and potentially open up new job opportunities. You could attend job fairs, networking events, or professional organisations to make connections and connect with other people.

However, you have only a short window of opportunity to impress potential employers. That means the best way to showcase what you know to potential employers is through your job employment documents and interview preparation.

A professional, well-written resume and cover letter that showcase your skills, experiences, and fit for the job should be customised to the specific job you’re applying for, and it should highlight your relevant skills and experiences.

Consider working with a career coach

A career coach can help you identify your strengths, interests, and values, and create a plan to achieve your career goals. They can also provide guidance on how to effectively search for job openings, apply for jobs, and prepare for interviews.

If you’re a university student looking for help with your career planning, job application documents, or interview preparation, a career coach can be a valuable resource. Here are some specific ways a career coach might be able to help you:

  1. Resume and cover letter development: A career coach can help you create a strong resume and cover letter that highlight your skills and experiences and showcase your fit for the job.
  2. Interview preparation: A career coach can help you prepare for job interviews by practising common interview questions, reviewing your responses, and providing feedback on your communication skills.
  3. Networking: A career coach can help you identify opportunities to network with professionals in your field of interest and provide guidance on how to make the most of these opportunities.
  4. Job search strategies: A career coach can provide guidance on how to effectively search for job openings, identify job opportunities that align with your goals and interests, and apply for jobs in a competitive market.
  5. Career planning: A career coach can help you identify your strengths, interests, and values, and create a plan to achieve your career goals. This may involve identifying the education and training you’ll need, finding internships or job shadowing opportunities, and networking with professionals in your field of interest.

Testimonials

Our client's success is our success. Here are some of our reviews.

“I used Farhana’s services to re-do my CV and LinkedIn profile. Being a seasoned executive with more than 30 years work experience, I found it daunting to put together a latest copy of my CV when I decided to job hunt. It seemed like a mammoth task and I needed someone that could encapsulate my years of experience, roles and career highlights in a new way.”

“Mrs. Hassam as a Career Coach, has been nothing short of exceptional. My numerous doubts and confusion I experienced during Grade 11 were all rectified by her. I contacted her for assistance, after my mother, whom Mrs. Hassam assisted with her Curriculum Vitae, constantly recommended and praised her, for her assistance. She was a wonderful listener and extremely patient during her sessions with me. She took the time to understand my views and perspective on certain aspects. I am extremely grateful for her help. I strongly recommend Mrs. Hassam to anyone who is searching for sound advice and highly skilled and personal interaction.”

“My interaction with Farhana was a positive experience. I learnt a lot, and the information received during our sessions enabled me to make the best decision in my career path of moving to a new field of work. I understood myself better (a mirror of detailed pictures of my personality, interests and values in a professionally crafted curriculum vitae, that truly reflected on my capabilities, achievements and ambitions). Today I am very happy and proud of myself.
Farhana did not only assist me, but also assisted my son in choosing his Grade 10 subjects and career planning.”
