I feel lucky to have you as my coach. You gave me adequate information about how to prepare for the interview. You are kind, patient, and professional. When I feel overloaded and disappointed, you encouraged me and help me make schedule to deal with messy things in limited time. When I gain a little progress, you truly feel happy for me and guide me on the most effective way.

After attending the one day workshop on 17th, I find it quite useful for me to answer open questions, especially the motivational questions and competency questions. The workshop helped me to realise how to answer them, and provoked me to think of examples, which was one of my barriers before. I think the workshop had […]

B Zhou

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 […]

G Zhou

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 […]

Max Li

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

As I did not have any internship experiences, but did have a lot of university debating experience, my CV was not very balanced.

MC helped me a lot in revising it, including 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 very impressive!

M. Chen - UNESCO

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

We work very closely with Mandarin Consulting to help our Chinese students at Manchester in finding work experience and graduate positions in the international job market. We will recommend highly any UK based Chinese students who are interested to find out job opportunities and gain understanding of Western style graduate position applications to seek help from Mandarin Consulting.
