Got some great news! I was offered two jobs which means I won’t be coming to the job club anymore! I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help with everything and keeping us all motivated during this long search. I have really appreciated your advice and going to the job club every couple of weeks has helped keep my spirits up during these last few months when I could have got quite down about everything.

Thank you for the advice you gave regarding my cover letter. I applied for a few jobs straight after. I was offered a temp editorial position within two weeks of fixing up my CV. I would not have been considered for interview without your honesty and no-nonsense advice.
