Extract from Review Posted to Facebook

3 things I gained from smart kid network: Confidence - the constant encouragement and reassurance of my value from the smart kid gave me a major boost of confidence. It helped me realise how much of an asset I can be to a company which in turn gave me the confidence in interview situations. ...Interview technique... The smart kid taught me how to sell myself positively and assertively which also highlighted the difference between confidence and arrogance... Broader thinking... I have been prompted to think about things I would not have given enough thought without the help of the smart kid network... I would definitely recommend the smart kid because it helps people build essential attributes for success that the education system is currently failing to provide.
