Career Counselling: Shaping Careers. Building Leaders. Unlocking Global Opportunities.
Our Experience
At Siraat, our expertise in career development is built on both high-impact institutional partnerships and hands-on engagement with students across more than 10 countries. We’ve designed and delivered leadership and employability programmes with universities such as University College London (UCL) and the University of Sydney, and collaborated with global organisations including the United Nations, McKinsey & Company, and Advance HE. Our involvement with initiatives like McKinsey’s global Forward Program has allowed us to help shape future-of-work competencies and skills-based learning for diverse student communities.
What sets us apart is the strength of our network. Our mentors and advisors now work at world-leading organisations such as PwC, Deloitte, Citibank, McKinsey, the BBC, Lloyds Bank, and The Hut Group. This breadth of experience allows us to provide students with practical, insider perspectives on navigating industries, building professional skills, and securing meaningful opportunities. Many of our team members have also served as Sabbatical Officers, Student Presidents, and education reform advocates, giving us a unique ability to support students not just in the classroom, but in their transition into the world of work. With additional professional credentials such as the ILM Level 5 in Coaching & Mentoring, our guidance is rooted in both credibility and purpose.
Our Services
-
CV & Cover Letter Development
We take a workshop-style approach to help you build a CV and cover letter that truly reflects your abilities. This begins with structured journaling and CV-extraction exercises, where you reflect on your academic achievements, work experiences, volunteer roles, and personal projects. Together, we identify the skills and stories that matter most to employers. From there, we help you craft a Master CV that captures your full profile, while also creating tailored CVs and cover letters for specific industries and roles. By the end of this process, you don’t just have documents—you have a bank of ready-to-use, well-written applications that show your strengths clearly and professionally. This service starts at £50.

Mock Interview Preparation
Our interview coaching is designed to feel as close to the real thing as possible. Drawing on our experience of sitting on hiring panels for Boards of Trustees, Directors, and senior administrative roles, we run a 45-minute mock interview with you, asking the kind of challenging questions that top employers use to separate strong candidates from the rest. After the session, we provide a detailed, structured feedback report, walking you through your performance, highlighting strengths, and giving actionable advice for improvement. You’ll leave with concrete strategies for answering difficult questions, managing nerves, and presenting yourself with clarity and confidence. This is one of our most in-demand services, available at a flat £40.

They provide honest, firsthand advice about the realities of different industries and how to get there.
