“I got an interview with xxxx last week. My first professional, in-person interview. Your handbook was part of the success in just getting that invitation.”
"I was also sent Penguin Recruitment's Geo Sector booklet for graduates which was a great starting point when deciding the sector most suitable to my educational and work experience background. The booklet was also a valuable way to prepare for interviews! I have now successfully landed a fantastic graduate role at a reputable company”
“This booklet has provided more and better information on finding jobs after graduation than I have received from my university. This is due to its focus being on the UK Geo sector.”
“I’ve definitely not come across anything particularly as ‘walk through’ or as in depth as this and honestly can’t think of anything that isn’t covered. All I can really say that I wish I had it about 6 months ago when I started final year!”
