Preparing for a Job Interview Presentation

Maryanne helped me with my interview technique, and gave me the confidence and focus to convey my message to potential employers. She also helped me to prepare for questions; as a result I felt much more comfortable going into interviews and was ultimately successful. I’m now doing a job I’m really happy with, and which I feel is the right one for me.
