      Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Dinanlinson Face Blossoming Approach (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for revealing the secret to master interviews and get the job without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.

      Hi Afzal,
      I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing video I literally watched all your videos regarding first stage interviews and final round interviews. I just wanted to personally thank you as I used all of your techniques and tips and have now accepted an offer at my dream company as an assistant compliance officer. Your tips regarding sending thank you emails after each stage really helped me stand out and get an offer. Keep up with the amazing videos God bless !

    Hello Brother,
    I came across your video minutes before the partner level interview. I tried to remember and adapt the tips you shared about not being nervous and considering the whole interview in a much informal setting than a technical interview. And I cleared the interview. Thankyou so much for the advice. I believe that your advice did improve my confidence and I am grateful to have seen this video prior to the interview. Thankyou brother.

    Hi I have sent you a message before thanking you for you video on resume and cover letter, thanks to those videos, I got in the door and got an interview ( I did everything you said I should do and it worked). I watched your video on the interview and followed your advice, I did everything you said I should do and I made it to the second round of interviews and I again I watched your videos and did as you said I should and now I have a meeting with the partner (final interview), I have no doubt that this video will assist. Thank you so much for opening the door for me, Without you I wouldn't have made it, thanks for sharing your experience with us.

    Rafiki Afzal, I only just met you, and it's a little one-way, so it's hard to know if we're a good fit, or if we're bound ever to do business together. It's always a bit tricky entering into a substantive dialogue online. Let me just say I found your video engaging. Keep up the good work. And I'll let you know if we might have a position on the team in the future. Thanks!

      @@HtheKing Hi, I got a 2.1 at uni (philosophy) and then easily got a job at Deloitte as a data analyst. I enjoy the work but only get 22k a year for 37 hours a week. I'm not interested in investment banking anymore because the hours are like slavery and its not worth it at all. Money is important but there's other ways of making money without selling your life (investing, trading, houses and starting a business). I think stress from a job is addictive, 'high achievers' are often restless and unable to be content with themselves as they naturally are.

Deloitte is alright but im leaving soon for a 26k job as mortgage advisor at a smaller company. Long story short I wouldnt spend much of your career at a big company like RSM, unless you're not stressed in the job. But I dont wanna be negative, well done on getting offers!! Stay at a big company for a year then look for smaller companies or whatever else takes your interest

Networking as well, but mostly networking at university level will just fast track you to assessment centres, rarely land you with an actual job.
