““The best thing about STRIVE is that it is made by people who, just few years ago, were in our same position hunting for a training contract. This ensures that STRIVE’s mentors are empathic and able to provide (apart from excellent professional advice) emotional support, motivation and inspiration to their mentees.””

““The mock interviews are great. When the mentor who is leading the mock is being as strict/harsh as possible, it’s amazing preparation for your interview.””

“I participated in online webinars which covered application forms, interviews and assessment centres, which were incredibly useful in polishing my skills and picking up key tips from future trainees.””

““From the very first day my mentor’s engagement with me had been out of this world; her constant advice, tips, guidance, encouragement and her detailed application reviews continued to motivate me with my applications.””

““With every session, I was more and more impressed with the professionalism of the team and the quality of the workshops. I think nothing could have prepared me better for vacation scheme and training contract applications than STRIVE.””

““The STRIVE team had been extremely thorough with every aspect of the application process. I also appreciated the workshops on how to tackle verbal reasoning tests, assessment centres and application forms. Most importantly, the team’s personal touch, through its future trainee mentors, allowed me to gain perspectives from successful candidates.””

““Even in the busiest times, I had all my questions and queries answered, and feedback returned with short to no delays in responses. This just proved to me that STRIVE only takes on as much as it can handle in other to provide the best possible advice for students.””

““I found STRIVE’s help in preparing from my assessment centre to be instrumental in securing a training contract. The assistance and feedback was uniquely thorough and, most importantly, genuine.”

““My experience with STRIVE has been amazing. I do not believe I would have secured a vacation scheme without STRIVE’s support!””

““It took me a lot of motivation, resilience, and facing a lot of failure, but every single second of the hard work was worth it. This could definitely have not been achieved without the help of STRIVE.””

““I feel like we have all developed a beautiful and supportive community. It was a great feeling knowing that I can always ask for advice or even talk about my failures - everything was accompanied by a friendly and non-judgemental atmosphere.””
