Testimonials
The MyStartr team was incredibly supportive during and after the interview process. They prepared us with what to expect for our interview and tips on how to land the job! I even came across a few technical issues along the way but the team helped me and even followed up with a personal phone call to ensure a great experience. MyStartr gave me the great opportunity to sell myself at a guaranteed interview and showed me that landing a job isn’t as hard as it seems.
Celeste
People in the MyStartr program were supportive and guided me throughout the interview process, which was really helpful. We did a crash course, where I received excellent support and preparation. We discussed which questions to focus on and how to interpret challenging situation scenarios in interviews. The team’s guidance helped me feel much more confident and prepared for the actual interview. The team provided every small detail, including a PowerPoint presentation on the company’s core values and what it stands for. This preparation was crucial in helping me achieve my goal of getting a job at Starbucks, and I’m grateful for Mystartr’s help.
