Personal Statements and Oxbridge Admissions (interview prep)

I'm an Oxford graduate who has been helping university applicants with personal statements over the past few years, a number of whom have secured places at Oxbridge.

Before applying to university myself I spent a lot of time with a number of different people who helped guide me with my personal statement and the rest of the admissions process. I now aim to pass on to others the insight I gained from these experiences.

In a personal statement session, I will set out the structure of a great personal statement and work with the student to identify the content which will allow their application to stand out amongst those of other applicants.

For those applying to Oxbridge, I am happy to help with course choices, college choices, expectations of the Oxbridge lifestyle, and understanding the difference between Oxford and Cambridge. I have also run a number of mock interviews for applicants based on the experiences of myself and other Oxbridge graduates to ensure that students feel more comfortable and prepared for the real thing.

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT IN HIS JOB SEARCH / CAREER TRANSITION, ESPECIALLY DURING COVID19
Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract: - After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background - stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary. - Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career. Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish. Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020) PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm).

Private coaching for CV help and spring week finance internship applications
I have recently been accepted into JP Morgan's spring week internship which required extensive preparation. I can give a helping hand through private coaching on CV writing, cover letters, networking, online interview prep, basic finance and macroeconomic knowledge. I have also been a part of a stock pitch competition where my stock got chosen and so I can offer insights in how to pitch, confidence and how to keep on top of research. Being a woman in a predominately male field can be daunting so I can also help build confidence around this as well! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Audrey
Help with writing an effective and operational CV and cover letter
Hello, my name is Audrey and I propose to help you in preparing the most operational and efficient cover letter and / or CV possible for you! Are you facing the blank page syndrome, are you hesitating about the wording, don't know how to order your remarks? You ask yourself the eternal questions: how to sell myself in the fairest and most efficient way possible? Do you want to get out of the box, be original, bring out your personality, to distinguish yourself from the recruiter, but do you worry about not being conventional enough? Have you written hundreds of cover letters and resumes, but you're not getting the responses you're hoping for? Are you having trouble organizing your CV because you have too much or not enough experience to highlight? Your experiences do not correspond to the position for which you are applying, because you are retraining and you do not know how to highlight your past experiences? I help you answer all these questions! I am a master's student in international relations and my last five years have been marked by numerous interviews and the sending of multiple applications in order to obtain a job, an internship, a new opportunity, a master's degree, etc. Thanks to my CV and my cover letter, I managed to enter one of the most selective training courses in France in my field. I have also obtained internships or been called back by very large French companies and ministries (in particular the embassies with which I have accumulated 3 internships with my CV and a solid cover letter as my only ally). On the strength of these experiences and the expectations of recruiters, I have helped many friends by correcting their cover letter, their CV and by advising them. All of different profiles with heterogeneous files they achieved their goal. In reality, what counts is not so much what is in the letter or in the CV as in the way of presenting the elements. So why won't I help you in turn? With pleasure!
