FURTHER COMMENTS
Interview Skills
"I cannot recommend 2UpSkill highly enough. Miriam was highly professional and thorough as my mentor for the Interview Preparation Training. Going into the course it was clear that I undervalued my skills and was not very confident as a candidate seeking a promotion in the company I worked for. Miriam was very helpful and touched on all scenarios for the interview. As a result my confidence was boosted, my career goal became much more focused and I secured the position I applied for .This course is ESSENTIAL for anyone returning to the workplace or seeking promotion in an existing role." Eloise Gilsenen, Thurles

I was surprised to attain such a good result as I was out of the education system for 41 years and this I put down to the excellent tutor I had.” Rodger Sweeney, Thurles
