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
