"Mock interviews were very helpful, particularly in addressing competency-based type of questions."

"Rare Recruitment alerts us of any upcoming opportunities, which helps us get ahead. The networking events as well as the chance to contact previous applicants provides us with an advantage."

Nasreen Mohamed, BA Economics and Finance, Exeter

Nasreen secured a place on the Deutsche Bank summer internship programme.

"The best thing about applying through rare is that when you finally submit your final application, you know that it has been checked through experienced and good hands. At least this way, you’re confident that you have completed your application to the utmost of your ability."

Michael Adesite, BA Politics, Warwick

Michael gained a place on the Goldman Sachs Operations spring programme.

“The best thing about Rare was how they supported me through each and every stage like a constant guardian... They cared about me getting into DB as much as I cared myself.”

Zenith Ahmed, BSc Economics, UCL

Zenith secured a place on the Deutsche Bank summer internship programme.

"The quick answer to emails was a big plus, especially when filling out the forms, as some questions were slightly ambiguous, but the mock interviews were the most useful. I had never been interviewed before, and it gave me a clearer idea of what to expect and how to prepare better by focusing on my weak points. Also, being put in touch with employees of the firm really helped to set expectations."

Marion Pierfitte, BSc Economic History with Economics, LSE

Marion secured a place on the Deutsche Bank summer internship programme.

"Rare helped send my CV to L’Oreal and worked hard to get me an interview. I don’t think I would have applied and even if I had I may not have gotten through without their glowing character reference. The mock interview with Daniel at Rare gave me very useful feedback."

Ifiok Otung, BSc Economics, UCL

Ifiok gained an internship with Arts and Business and then an internship with L'Oréal through Rare.

"I enjoyed my internship more than I could have ever imagined! The advice guidelines given on interview technique and preparation were extremely useful. It was catered to the specific type of character that WPP has and placed emphasis on what would help me stand out. My advice for future interns is to be very open to constructive criticism. What is said now is likely to be more than advantageous when graduation comes around. It is not aimed to pull you down, but strengthen your character and alter your reaction in a future situation (to your advantage)."

Lotis Bautista, BA History & Politics, Warwick

Lotis gained a place on the WPP Micro Fellowship programme through Rare.

"The best knowledge is experience and Rare have had experience of successfully placing interns within L’Oreal. I had applied unsuccessfully in 2006, so this time I knew that I needed the support of someone who understood the application process. Approaching Rare was part of my strategy to ensure a successful application.Their support and advice was crucial at every stage of the application process from sending in my CV as an intern to my final round interview for the graduate scheme."

Omoyemi Akinrinade, BSc Geography, KCL

With our help, Yemi secured an internship with L'Oreal and was subsequently hired onto their Graduate Management Training Programme.

"The most useful aspects of Rare’s service included everything from information about the firm to application advice and mock interview preparation. All were vital aspects of a well-rounded, professional service. The best things about applying through Rare were the friendly and supportive atmosphere and the fact that the service highlights weaknesses you didn’t realise you had and tells you how to resolve them."

Fareed Muhammed, BA Economics, LSE

Fareed gained a training contract at Linklaters through Rare.

"The help with my application form was particularly useful: it really helped me bring it to a good standard. The best thing about applying through Rare? Everything. Lianne and Daniel are amazing. They are really helpful with the application form process and the mock interview is really useful. You can tell the difference before and after."
