“I have done a coaching session with Vanessa. She gave me a lot of precious advice for my interview to start an internship in Berlin. For example she told me how to present myself in the best way possible, the things that are really important to say and how to manage difficult questions during the interview. This coaching was really useful because using her advice I managed the interview very well and I got the opportunity to go to Berlin and start an internship in the entertainment field” - Giovanni

“I respect and value frank, honest, constructive feedback. In my mock interview session with Vanessa earlier in September 2024, that is exactly what I received. The great thing about that experience was that I knew both of us were treating this session with the seriousness it deserved - that this training could be the difference between getting an internship post-interview, or not. The training on succinctness, creative-speak, and ability to pivot my answers on the fly were vital to what would end up getting me an internship on the first interview! So, thanks Vanessa, it was gold” - Angus
