Success Stories & Testimonials

  • “Pagoda helped me a lot with preparing for psychometric tests, assessment centres, and the most challenging step of all – the interviews! I got my offer from BNY Mellon thanks to Pagoda. I would definitely recommend the programme to international students and anyone who needs help with their job search.”

    G. Cho
    University College London

  • "Jarrod was a brilliant help in my university application for a competitive Masters program. I had a tight deadline and he was determined to support me throughout the process. His punctuality, organisation, and attention to detail are what impressed me the most and I greatly recommend him."

    L. Chulani
    King’s College London

  • “As an international student, I was unfamiliar with the process in the UK. I also faced the additional challenges of time-pressure due to visa restrictions, which meant I had to secure my offer before graduating. With my mentor’s guidance and knowledge of the journey, I managed to get the offer of my choice within just 4 months after the start of the application season.”

    YS. Chan
    University of Bristol

  • “I got that boost career-wise I never knew I needed, let alone in my first year at university. I never imagined one could fall in love with their CV or get excited for internships applications, but it turns out it is possible. Jarrod not only helped me (re)write my CV, but he also taught me how to do it myself. And in only four weeks he showed me special methods of organising and planning my applications so that I am always on top of them.”

    S. Serafimova
    King’s College London

  • “Jarrod has a sound understanding and knowledge of recruitment processes, therefore offering invaluable guidance on CV and cover letter writing. Thanks to his expertise and experience, I am now more confident with job interviews and have a clearer idea of how psychometric testing works. Jarrod is very flexible and gives timely responses.”

    E. Mancino
    King’s College London

  • “Jarrod's acute understanding of the recruitment processes and unique demands of numerous companies provided an analytical basis to assess and improve my CV. In addition, he took the initiative to reach out to his network of contacts across various industries to provide more insight during recruitment processes. Jarrod has much knowledge which serves as good guidance as you develop your career. “

  • Jarrod is very excellent and experienced in career coaching. During my job application process, Jarrod always gave me very supportive and valuable advice in job searching, interview preparation and company research, helping me successfully get an offer in an investment bank.
