This session will show you how to really stand out on an applicant list – where everyone has the same qualifications as you.

When you are having an interview for an Apprenticeship or a place at University you’ll find that most of the applicants will have the same levels of qualifications as you – so finding ways to stand out is super-important.

And using your qualifications to stand out is going to be really tough.

You’re going to need a few more tricks up your sleeve!

We’re going to show you some great ones – and why you need to start working on them NOW!

We will be covering:

  • How to use your social media accounts to score GREAT points!
  • Developing BRAND YOU!
  • Understand your VALUES and know how to use them.
  • How to make a brilliant impression with your cover letter and CV.
  • How to find and then talk with EXPERTS……and get them to really help you.
  • Why saying you’re ‘passionate’ about a subject just isn’t enough.

You will leave with a notepad full of things you can do RIGHT NOW to make your apprenticeship, college or university application so much more effective.

And just as importantly…..you’ll be developing BRAND YOU!
