“Helping you get the job hunting skills you need through training and work experience”
Mandarin Consultant specialises in training and recruiting Chinese candidates for UK companies. We offer a unique training and work expereince programme. The programme includes comprehensive training on helping you to succeed at making job applications and also on how to perform competently in work environments. If you’re looking for job in the corporate sector in the UK – in companies such as PWC, KPMG, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Rolls Royce and many others – then Mandarin Consultant’s “Career Coaching Programme” is the one for you.
Our unique perspective
We understand the difficulties that may face Chinese when it comes to finding jobs in the UK’s top organisations. We also appreciate that you may miss out on really good opportunities simply because you may not have the knowledge and skills to get through the recruiters’ assessment processes.
You may have only one chance per year to apply for certain jobs; if you fail once, it can mean waiting another year which is time-consuming, expensive and can often reduce the time you’re allowed to stay in the UK. Even worse, some companies don’t allow you to apply a second time. Therefore getting it right first time is critical.
We also know that you may lack the cultural awareness and understanding of what’s required by British companies. You may have only been in the UK for a short time and it can be very hard to know how to create a successful job seeking strategy without professional help. In Mandarin Consultant’s “Career Coaching Programme”, with our combined in-house expertise, we are confident that we will enable you to take the first step in your corporate career.
Group training:
High-impact Applications
Up to 80% of candidates are rejected at this stage – don’t be one of them! In this part of the training, you will:
-
Learn techniques to complete online applications and to answer open-ended questions effectively
-
Detailed explanation and training on how to write good covering letters to companies directly
Get Through Online Tests
If you get through the application stage, most recruiters then use online tests to test your suitability for the job your have applied for. In this part of “Career Coaching Programme”, you will be taught:
-
The different types of ‘psychometric’ test used in different sectors of work
- How to prepare effectively
- Strategies to maximise your success
Succeed at Interviews
Performing at your best during an interview is not always easy, especially if English is not your first language. Our training programme will give you:
-
A thorough understanding of the UK interviewing style
-
Techniques to prepare and perform at your best
-
Techniques to prepare for competency-based questions
Perform with Confidence at Assessment Centres
This is the final hurdle you need to overcome in order to get your job offer. We will provide you the following:
-
A detailed insight into how assessment centres work and what recruiters look for
-
Strategies for performing effectively on the day
Western Etiquette training
It is vitally important that you behave according to Western etiquette in your job hunting process. We give you intensive training which ensures you to not just be able to do the work but ‘look and behave the part’! This training will also give you confidence at interviews, assessment centres and in your future career progression. If you start your career with an intern placement, you will find that knowing the Western etiquette ensures your communication with your Western colleagues and also help you to impress your potential employers.
Personal Grooming for a professional look in the West
It has been said that you only have a few seconds to impress a person on your first meeting. As part of our objective for you to look professional in a Western business environment, we give in-depth training in personal grooming. We need you to understand what is expected of you by Western employers as a professional person. Personal grooming is part of forming your overall professional image which can make or break your face to face interviews and greatly enhance your assessment centre performance.
English for Job Hunting and Career Development
We expect all our candidates that have joined our programme to have a good standard of English for having a real prospect of getting a good job when the opportunity arises, however, we have noticed through years of experience in placing Chinese candidates that many candidates require inspiration and education to take their English proficiency to a different level, a level that they can feel confident to talk to Western employers competently. Our English training session will be very different from any other English courses that candidates attended before, they are designed to specifically deal with job hunting and career progression in mind.
Work experience placement:
We realise the importance of you getting some real and relevant UK based corporate work experience before you enter into a permanent position. After receiving our professional training and coaching, you will feel confident and well equipped to work competently in any demanding Western working environment. We also see this as one of the best ways that you can have access and a real opportunity to meet your future potential employers. Part of our training and coaching will be done by you being placed for work experience in a company which is relevant to the sector you are interested in.
