“ At first I was a little anxious at the idea of talking to so many people that I had never met before but I soon began to really enjoy it. What surprised me about the job was how many people I was able to talk with that were in the industry I too hoped to be in. The alumni were often very keen to talk to me about their careers which gave me a lot of ideas as to how I hope to shape my future. I was even offered a few placements.”

Mike Doherty, first year construction student and caller
