“My mentor at Ogilvy completely reframed how I talked about my freelance years. Within three weeks I had two agency interviews — and got one. The session was worth more than my entire CV workshop at uni.

What no one tells you
before you start.
Relationships before applications
Across the UK, Canada, and New Zealand, warm introductions often beat cold applications. A 15-minute chat with someone already in the role is worth more than dozens of generic CVs.
Directness is respected
Employers in our markets appreciate concise, evidence-based communication. Learn to quantify your impact before every interview — whether you're targeting London, Toronto, or Auckland.
The hidden hiring cycle
Graduate schemes and early-career intakes often close months earlier than you expect. Alumni mentors help you plan your timeline 6 months ahead, not 6 weeks.
Visa and right-to-work
Many employers misunderstand sponsorship rules in each market. Our mentors have navigated this — they can tell you which companies are genuinely open to hiring international talent.
