​The Parents' Guide to Helping your teen stand out

No matter what your teen's passion, every hobby is a chance for  them to develop soft skills. And they probably don't realize it's happening! Whatever their future plans, interviewers focus on hobbies because it's a way of differentiating one applicant from another and assessing how well they'll fit in the new environment.

 

Find out the key skills interviewers look for, and which hobbies develop which skills in our specialist guide.

The Parents' Guide to Teenage Stress & Anxiety
