From shy to shining – Martin’s story

“Scope will teach you how to find work. I learned how to present myself and how to be clear on what I’m saying. Before my first interview, I was really worried. During the interview, I was dressed up polite and I talked about my responses clearly. By the end of the it, the interviewer said, ‘We like this positive attitude of yours!"
