Simple encouragement and positive help from others - key to boosting confidence.
Confidence leads to many more things, like jobs!
Second language user Zhixin (Carol) visited our office looking for a class which would fit in with her study with a need to get a job after completing tertiary study. Her written and spoken English was very good but she lacked confidence to believe that she could get a job.
Read what Carol said and how she has succeeded:
“As a second language speaker, I suffer from not being confidant with my English, and this causes nervousness, especially during interviews or other important events. Nervousness decreases my English ability. It creates a bad circle, and eventually I lose confidence and the ability to trust myself.
The interview and discussion with you, was incredibly beneficial- I could not say enough thanks to you to help me find the confidence. I hope other English learners could gain their confidence too.
I did an interview after visiting you and I think I did well during the interview. Now I have obtained a full- time job.”
