How confident are you in selling your skills to potential employers?

In this episode, we meet Sam Merrix and Kelly Coles, both senior careers consultants at Warwick and both people who are well worth listening to if you want to give yourself the best chance of standing out to employers and kick-starting your career.

In this chat, you’ll hear tips on how to market what skills you have to potential employers, how to find out what skills those employers are looking for, as well as advice on how to prepare to talk about your skills at assessment centres and in job interviews – feel free to take notes as there’s lots of great stuff in this episode!
