I’m putting together a series of student video interviews to highlight real stories from inside the program. If our systems, strategies, and advice has helped you in any of the following ways: - Gaining clarity on your next steps - Building a strong CV that you're proud of - Applying with confidence instead of hesitation - Replacing confusion and YouTube searches with structure - Or even just feeling more in control and less overwhelmed Then I’d like to feature your journey. You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to have made progress. The goal is to showcase real change, not perfection. What this involves: - A 10 to 15 minute Zoom conversation - Guided questions provided in advance - No pressure, just a chance to reflect and help others - You will be credited and recognised for your insight If you're interested, comment below or send me a direct message. @Sophie Reynolds
