6 Marsha Typical success story One happy Standguider here. Again I would like to thank you for all of the help and advice that I received on the Standguide course and the way you helped me with my CV and cover letters and how to build and word them correctly. The way you helped improve my knowledge in applying for jobs through the various job sites, putting my CV out there for prospective employers to see and also the confidence boost that I so strongly needed. The way you helped me prepare for interviews really helped me, which led to me being offered the job instantly. Even though originally I really didn t want to come on the course, I m really glad I did because without it I d have probably let this job go by without a second glance! Instead I m in a job that I love, working with some awesome people providing a service to the public. One happy Standguider here. You helped me find a job I love. One happy Standguider here.
