Support in the areas of hiring:
- Writing and presentation of a hard-hitting CV both in form and content (how to arouse the interest of the reader and how to be invited to a job interview).
-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).
- Preparation and repetition of a job interview (key questions ... to say and not to say)

Together we identify the relevant elements that guarantee you a CV that attracts attention and guarantees that you will be invited to a job interview.

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!

Oxford & Cambridge University Interview Prep Course
Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!
Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.
Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.
I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.
Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.
