She gave me information and resources about the career I was interested in initially, and from there we met to discuss the application process for the jobs I was interested in, with her giving me feedback on my CV and LinkedIn profile. When I secured an interview, we did a mock interview which really boosted my confidence, and she explained interview techniques and gave me lots of helpful advice and resources. I really appreciated Natalie\u2019s guidance throughout my job-hunting process, she helped me to understand how I could get started with the process and what was required of me in the career I wanted. I knew I could go to Natalie for any advice, and she always gave me very positive and constructive careers guidance. Natalie was patient and kind, and I never felt silly for not knowing things or for having started the process sooner.<br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/><b><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>Amy \u2013 French graduate<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00a0met online with Natalie Basden on multiple occasions, and she gave me amazing advice.
