Career Coaching for International Students
Birkdale Collective’s career coaching for students is formed of two main options: individual one-on-one career coaching, or a group career coaching starter programme. Individual coaching is flexible to the student’s needs and can start whenever the student is ready to begin their work with Birkdale Collective’s career coaches. On this page you will find information and relevant links to our career coaching team, pricing, start dates and more.
Why Birkdale Collective?
Birkdale Collective are a group of individuals united in two opinions. The first is that international students need help in their job search. The second is that help should be affordable without any compromise on quality.
Getting a job (and performing well in that job) is difficult. Career coaching helps you with your Commercial Awareness, CV, Cover Letters, Job Applications, Online Tests, Video Interviews, Face-to-Face Interviews, Assessment Centres, Soft Skills and much more. We help you make sure that you are heading into a career you are going to be both suitable for, and that you have a passion for doing. Birkdale Collective aims to deliver advice which we know will be helpful, and also advice that addresses your individual concerns.
Birkdale Collective are members of the Professional Association of Résumé Writers & Career Coaches (PARWCC) and our coaching team holds a number of accreditations. This means you can trust us to deliver the best possible coaching to meet your needs and help you get the right start in your career.
