what our clients have said about us

D. Li, medical student: We met a few months ago to practice for my McMaster Med interview. I'd like to extend my gratitude for all the time you spent with me practicing for the MMI. After all was said and done, I was recently extended an offer for admission (and you can bet I accepted it!). I felt confident and relaxed throughout the whole interview and it seems like it paid off big time. I could not have done it without all of your help! Thank you very much!

S. Kainth, medical student: I got into the University of Western Ontario, Queen's, Ottawa and Calgary, and am waitlisted at U of T. I have decided to go with UWO, and am very excited for next year. Thanks for your help!

S. Alhayjaa, IMG: This was my second interview attempt for family medicine. The Career Council worked with me to build up my confidence and to deal with all possible questions. I felt very happy at the end of my formal interview and am just waiting to hear back.

A. Enzevaei, IMG: I was referred to Career Council by a senior Canadian doctor. Liz gave me so much time including Saturdays to get me ready. Although I was very nervous I was so prepared that I really felt I presented myself really well.

R. Mitsui, medical student: I'm pleased to say that I think both my interviews (at the University of Ottawa and Queen's University) went really well. The coaching was extremely helpful for my preparation because they showed me how to answer questions in a way that allowed me to properly portray myself and accentuate my best qualities. I'd like to thank you a lot for your help, I believe it had a huge impact on my performance, I was very comfortable and I think this allowed my answers to come off naturally. I will let you know of the school's answers when I get them in May. Until then, I wish you the very best.

C. Ratelle, medical student: I just wanted to let you know that I was offered a position in the Midwifery program! So I start the four year program this fall. Thank you for your help, it made the process and my thinking process so much easier. I will definitely recommend you to applicants next year.

R. T. Aman, medical student: "After seeing the article in the Globe and Mail I contacted the Career Council to help me ace my medical school interview. They got me up to speed with interview questions from all of the universities and helped me with my confidence. Needless to say - I'm in! Thanks Career Council.

G. Forsyth: "Working with Career Council was a great experience and one of the best investments in time and money that I have ever made. They helped me to identify the core strengths and the skills that I bring to a job. They gave me great insight into what image I project during an interview and showed me how to come across in a more dynamic and pleasing manner. Ten days later I landed an executive position!"

D. Meyers: "For my current role I interviewed with the head of Human Resources and then with the CEO. Because of the One-on-One session that I had at The Career Council I was able to present myself in a confident manner and was able to answer any question that came at me. I am so happy to be with a company I admire and respect and I have The Career Council to thank for it!"

S. Palmer, Legal Assistant: "After attending your Workshop I went home and re-wrote my resume, brushed up on the behavioural questions and really learned my employment history. On my next interview they talked to me for 2 hours and were so impressed with how I presented myself that they booked me in for the second interview on the spot. I have never enjoyed the interview process before - The Career Council had made me a Key Candidate!"

S. Rice, Financial Controller: "I thought I was completely prepared until I met with The Career Council. The advice they gave me made me confident and within 2 weeks I had received an offer from a company I was excited to join".

C. Wong, Faculties Manager: "I was extremely impressed with The Career Council. By the time I walked into my first interview, I was able to tell them my strengths and answer behavioural questions that had previously made me uncomfortable and unsure".

A. Stravinsky, Desktop Support: "I had been job searching for 3 months and was very frustrated. I was shocked at how much I was doing wrong in an interview. With the support of The Career Council I made real changes that changed my thinking and my future. I have now been with my new company for 6 months and as Liz Holland said 'Do you want ANY job or the one of your choosing?'"

S. Khan, Financial Analyst: "I can only say WOW. I spent a total of only 3 hours with The Career Council and what a difference! For the first time I felt at ease and able to sell myself. I did not know I had a weak handshake - they took me throughevery thing. I had waited 6 months to book my coaching because I was sure I could do it myself and that was a mistake. I still keep in touch with them".

T. Wallace, Law Clerk: "I have 10 years experience with two of the leading law firms in Toronto and I was sure this great resume and my references would get fast results in my job search. It was a real blow to my ego when I was not selected after 4 interviews. After getting in touch with The Career Council I found out very quickly what I was doing wrong and thank goodness, because what a waste of time. In 6 weeks I was deciding between 2 offers. I cannot recommend The Career Council highly enough".
