Hasti, Mentorship Programme Participant

My mentor has been incredibly supportive and insightful throughout our mentorship sessions. Her guidance has been clear and practical, making it easier for me to navigate the job market and improve my professional skills. She provided valuable feedback on my resume and cover letter, suggested effective networking strategies, and connected me with industry professionals. Our discussions on interview techniques, especially the STAR method, were very helpful, and the mock interview session boosted my confidence. Her mentorship has been really valuable, and I feel much more prepared to pursue my career in the marketing industry. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her and for the structure and support provided by the mentorship program.

Rory, Mentorship Programme Participant

Open Doors has been a fantastic experience for me. The mentorship programme has been superb. The team have done huge work to help outline supportive care for me in my job search. The programme with my mentor from EY was excellent. She is very knowledgeable with her advice which helps in understanding and making decisions. We have made it through a number of sessions and to our luck we have managed to secure a new role. This is a full-time permanent role which is exactly the goal I was looking to achieve from this experience.
