With Mubeen’s help, I was lucky enough to secure the placement or I would have still been in the process of finding a placement. He has great communication skills which made it easy for me to ask any questions I had at any time of the day. I can’t thank him enough for helping me secure a placement at a great company.”

Despite completing numerous interviews, I faced rejections and started to feel discouraged, which resulted in reduced effort in actively pursuing other opportunities. Thankfully, Mubeen contacted me and brought me up to speed on every detail, made sure the job was the right fit for me, and gave me valuable advice on how to tailor my CV and cover letter to match the role’s requirements. He assisted me in the application and interview process and checked in on me every step of the way. I feel fortunate to have had Mubeen’s guidance, encouragement, and support during this journey and I am eager to see what the future holds.”
“As part of my University degree, I was required to undertake a compulsory 12 month placement. I wasn’t having much success finding a suitable placement and was running out of time. I came across a placement being advertised by SES on my University’s Career Hub. Mubeen supported me through the application process and helped tailor my CV and Cover Letter to the placement I had applied for. Mubeen was also very willing to answer any questions I had prior to the interview, which made me feel much more confident going into the interview. I have now been lucky enough to secure a placement with a fantastic company and without Mubeen’s help, I don’t think this would have been possible. I’m very grateful to SES for the support and will not hesitate to use their services again in the future when it comes to finding graduate opportunities.”
“SES and especially Mubeen have gone the extra mile in ensuring each step of the journey of finding a placement was as smooth and seamless as possible. From guiding and providing feedback on current studies to moving out and finding a place and finally setting up for success in the placement, Mubeen was there for each step providing guidance.

I would strongly recommend any student to use SES to find placements as it will help you so much through the entirety of your search.”
“I started one placement at the end of June and was terribly exploited, both my family and university were so unhappy about how I was being treated. Luckily Mubeen and my university pulled me out of that situation before it could have gotten any worse. He constantly communicated between the company I wanted a placement with (Lödige) and myself. I felt I was continuously in the loop with constant support, ringing me unexpectedly to ensure I was prepared for the interviews or if I had any questions for the interviewer. I highly recommend Mubeen and cannot thank him enough. I never leave reviews but honestly, he has saved my placement year! Thank you so much Mubeen!!!”

However, I was contacted by Mubeen at SES, and he was able give me the confidence that I needed to move forward with my application, giving me pointers on how to edit my CV to fit the Job role, emphasising what I had done throughout my time at University as I didn’t have much relevant work experience.

The guidance from Mubeen was especially useful in helping me tweak areas of my application and just give general advice and support. It is a great relief to know that you have that support and a team which you can contact before and during the placement. I now look forward to completing my placement year and am excited for the future.”

SES (particularly Mubeen’s hard work) made the entire process run much more smoothly than others I’d experienced and always responded quickly. I really appreciate everything they did to help me secure an exciting 12-month placement that I can’t wait to start! I would definitely recommend SES to any student looking for a work placement.”
“I was aiming to secure a placement opportunity preferably a 12-month internship and as soon as the E-commerce and Retail Intern role arose, it became my main goal.
I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without SES, and more specifically Mubeen. The whole application experience ran smoothly from communication with the company to helpful interview tips. Emails were dealt with instantly, and any doubts or queries were managed promptly and efficiently.
I always felt supported throughout the entire process. Even though I wasn’t initially aware that SES was the intermediary between myself and the company, I would definitely recommend SES to anyone hunting for a placement in the future. The confidence, help, and support they provide are unconditional.”
“I came to SES having previously experienced several student employment schemes that amounted to little more than bureaucracy and empty promises. SES both sought out and guided me through the process of applying for a dream job in an industry which would have been impossible alone.
The level of professional career and personal advice I received from SES was unmatched, and this combined with intelligent and caring correspondence led to me gaining my first employment after university.
I couldn’t be happier in my new role and am extremely grateful to SES for all their help.”
“Finding my internship via SES was brilliant, as the lovely staff offered support, encouragement, and advice from the beginning. Their genuine determination to find their candidates employment shines through.
Having that communication gave me the confidence I needed to secure my position.”

“I wanted to secure a 12-month industrial placement to gain beneficial insight into the career I want to pursue. I thought the best way to stand out when applying for graduate jobs was to already have experience and skills from undertaking a year in industry.
Throughout the application process, SES helped and supported me to ensure my CV and Cover Letter were of the best possible standard. Any queries were responded to quickly and with helpful answers. SES also provided feedback and tips for improving my application and guidance for my interview.
All the support I received was key to securing the role, and it was reassuring to have that extra advice. I would absolutely recommend SES to others seeking placements – it’s simple to use and immensely helpful.”
“SES helped me through finding the placement and preparing my application. My Student Service Advisor guided me through the process, supported me in interview preparation, and kept me updated throughout the nomination process.
I am very happy that I chose SES as my recruiter, as they are friendly and informative. Their knowledge of employers is extensive, and they try to fit you into the industry and position that suits you best.
SES helped me secure a 12-month placement as a Supply Chain Assistant, and my overall experience was very satisfying.”

I wish I could use their services again for my next career step. I would happily recommend their excellent services to other up-and-coming graduates.”
“Student Employment Services provided advice and guidance every step of the way. The service offers specialised and tailored support to both graduates and employers.

“SES provided an excellent and professional service throughout the entire application process. They were prompt in answering any queries, and if they lacked the information, they contacted the employer directly to get answers.
Once I reached the interview stage, SES provided a structured format for the interview, which helped me focus my preparation and ultimately secure the job. Thank you SES!”
“I also wanted to say, my experience with recruiters so far has been truly awful, an experience shared by pretty much everyone else I know that was or has been looking for work.
Allow me to say that you guys, on the other hand, are doing a fantastic job, not just because I got this role, but because of your willingness to actually help someone get a job and being thoroughly nice throughout the process.
When I’ve dealt with people in your line of business, they’ve systematically been unhelpful, unpleasant, generally uninterested, and appearing to be rather thick. A really big difference, thanks again.”
“I would like to thank Student Employment Services, especially Mubeen, for all their help in securing my new position with the UM Group as a Junior Design Draughtsman. Mubeen was very helpful and any queries I had throughout the process he was always on hand to answer. Once again, many thanks Mubeen for all your support.”
“Throughout the recruitment process, SES has been exceptionally supportive and maintained an honest, professional standard of communication.
I was kept up to date with my application progress, and Mubeen from SES was always available to assist or answer questions. After my interview, SES made quick progress and regularly updated me until I was offered the job. I look forward to maintaining relations with SES whilst working at Bradken.”
“I first came across SES through my university and found it very helpful in my search for an internship. The recruitment process with SES was excellent; they responded quickly to any questions and provided clear, helpful information.
I especially appreciated Mubeen, who was supportive and friendly, always providing clear guidance whenever I needed help. After securing a position at Coppenrath and Wiese, SES quickly congratulated me and assisted with my employment contract. I am delighted with the Commercial Business Internship I have secured and cannot wait to start!”
“Upon seeing the perfect placement online, I immediately applied and within days SES had contacted me to set up an interview. Efficient, to-the-point, and extremely personable; I found the staff most helpful in organising the placement and ensuring the process ran smoothly.
I would recommend SES without hesitation, as my experience has been flawless. Thank you all for your help!”
“I’m writing to give my personal references on the services provided by SES. Their consultants clearly demonstrated excellent professionalism in supporting my application.
They initially contacted me to gather detailed information about my profile and motivations for the position, carefully evaluated strengths and weaknesses against the job requirements, and acted as an efficient intermediary between me and the client.
SES was always available to answer queries and provided clear guidance throughout the process. I particularly appreciated the noticeable value of their service as a great tool to access the job market for young candidates approaching new challenges.”
“I have had a great experience working with SES Recruitment. Their approach was professional and efficient, always keeping me updated on my application process and providing the answers I needed.
I would recommend anyone looking for new opportunities to get in touch with SES.”

Having had previous experiences with other agencies, I can confidently say that SES particularly Mubeen is a cut above the rest in terms of support, both regarding my application and personal aspects such as relocation.
I look forward to collaborating with SES and their client during my 12-month placement and would highly recommend SES to any potential candidate.”
“A fantastic service with friendly and extremely helpful consultants. I will definitely be recommending SES to friends in the future.”
