"I can't thank the Employability Team and the Career Centre enough! They have done so much for me. They coached me on how to present myself during interviews by holding mock interview sessions. They also assisted me in writing my resume and cover letters... and kept me updated about new job opportunities. Furthermore, the University organised a wide range of events that helped me become more familiar with the new culture I encountered. This was incredibly impactful on my personal and career growth."
