S. Wang to Tim Pedlar - Maersk

I decided to start my career abroad in the very beginning of my masters. However, the strict timescale, as well as stress from study, made me panic for over half a year. When I received over 400 rejection letters, I met Mandarin Consulting. I have to say, my coach indeed changed my life.
Not only the seeking-job abilities but also the integrity, passionate and professional attitude towards her job, and everything she loves inspired me a lot. Ten thousand biggest thanks for Mandarin Consulting!!!

Y. Wu - Jaguar Land Rover

After graduation, I started my another journey as job seeker. Like almost graduates, I also felt helpless on direction for both life and career. I like one quote: If opportunity doesn’t knock, then build a door. Mandarin consulting is such door. I appreciate the experience and coaching session at Mandarin Consulting, which rebuilt my self-confidence and made me fully prepared for each interview and challenge.

Thank you for your suggestion and you encourage. Actually I didn’t hold the motivation to face the next interview, because I failed after I put 100% of my heart in to the first interview. However, your feedback session provided me suggestions that make me rekindle my passion to improve my ability to carry on till […]

Thanks a lot for the coaching. I had my interviews, they both went well! And the most important thing is that, I do feel I really enjoy the interview process! That’s also a valuable experience to talk to i-bankers and can develop my fast-response ability.

I always told people I didn’t know what to do and every decision I made was because of someone else, I sense that I couldn’t do it any more at some point. Now I am happy that I still applied to more programmes within the UK and eventually got one. Your coaching definitely deserves credit […]

Mandarin Consulting’s presentations are the best I have ever attended. They include so much useful information and are totally inspiring. We feel privileged to work with Mandarin Consulting to provide career seminars to the Chinese students at Hull.

Joanne Dewey - International Career Skills & Employability Manager, Hull University Business School

The feedback from the students attended your seminar were overwhelmingly good that almost all students gave 5 (their top score) to our seminar, while usually students give 3 or 4 to our own seminars.

David Evans - Adviser from Lancaster University Career Service, Lancaster University

We have a long established working relationship with Mandarin Consulting. They have been a guest to our campus several times and gain great reputation amongst our Chinese students community. We found Mandarin Consulting’s team inspiring, they also seemed really dedicated and passionate about their work.

Aled Williams - International Career Consultant, Career Services, Cardiff University

I only started applying for jobs after finishing my Master’s degree, when I only had 2 months left on my visa. But, this was not an excuse to not try and get a job.

I followed coaches’ instructions and advice thoroughly, utilised my coaching sessions fully, did my homework and asked many questions. It is never too early, nor too late. The coaches were really great, they gave me so much help and encouragement!

J. He - BP

My job seeking journey with Mandarin Consulting rewarded me, not only an offer, but a life learning experience. I realised the importance of investment in success; this includes the investment in time, effort and learning from the experts.

Job seeking is not an easy endeavour; I did not know where to start at the very beginning. Through the coaches’ guidance, help and continued encouragement, I significantly developed my job seeking skills, as well as my confidence.

D. Sun - PTS Consulting

My CV was not very balanced as I had a lot of university debating experience, but not any internship experiences.

Mandarin Consulting helped me a lot to revise it, adjusting the layout and polishing the language. During my interview at the United Nations, my interviewer even commented that, of all the CVs he had seen, mine was the most impressive!
