The jobs are here. The introductions are not.
London has more graduate roles than anywhere else in the country and the tightest referral culture to go with them. If nobody in your family works in the industry you want, a 30-minute session is the introduction you are missing.

The people who arrive stuck.
Students and recent graduates
Applying into finance, law, consulting and tech against people who already had a family contact make the call.
People priced out of the internship route
Unpaid summers in an expensive city filter by rent money, not by ability. A session skips the gatekeeping.
Career changers
Moving sector in your thirties or forties with a CV that reads like the old job, not the new one.
The fields our mentors work in.
Mentors volunteer 30 minutes. Matching is cross-border, so a mentor outside the city is normal and often the point.
Banking, insurance and asset management
Law and professional services
Technology, product and data
Media, marketing and creative
Civil service and public bodies
Startups and venture-backed companies
Four steps, one half hour.

The things people ask first.
Do I have to be in London to book?
No. Anyone can book, and mentors are matched across the network. The London page exists because the questions here repeat.
Is it really free?
Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
Can I ask for a mentor at a specific firm?
You can tell us the sector and the kind of role. We match on relevance, not on a named employer.
