Getting a job is much like building a computer. To get it to work you need the right components: CPU, motherboard, RAM, HDD, graphics card, sound card, case, PSU, input devices, etc. If a major component like the CPU is missing, then the computer is not going to work. It is the same with a job interview: the only difference is while most IT professionals know the right components to make a computer work, they do not always know which components are needed to ensure their success in landing a job.
Over the past decade we have helped people getting into employment with companies including IBM, BT, ATT, RBS, the NHS and many other leading blue chip companies.
