Brilliant day at @BChampCollege with @talkthetalkUK, training year 12 students to identify the skills they've acquired, and sell themselves at interview. They were a credit to you!

Thanks for having us @talkthetalkUK trainers at @SydneyR_School today.
A cracking workshop with your year 12s, in which they showed great style in identifying their experiences and skills. All essential in order to 'sell yourself' at interview.

Always a day in the diary I look forward to. It was a pleasure to spend the day with your students. They were engaged, hard working, polite and fun.
They even asked if they could do a second talk at the end! #oracy #confidence #lifeskills
