What is Branching Out about?
Branching Out mentors young people through their interviews, equipping them with the lifelong tools to engage with successful self-assurance.
“Through my business, Branching Out, I mentor and encourage young people through the interview process, equipping them with the lifelong tools so that they engage and connect successfully with authentic confidence.
Many of the young that I meet with are so unsure of themselves and lack insight as to how to properly prepare well for their interviews – whether these be for school placements, internships or first jobs.
I am there to help. CV’s; covering letters; considering questions that could be asked; getting to really know the organisation being interviewed by, and more, are a part of what I cover. But what particularly inspires me is in getting clients to become excited about their own gifts and significance.
I want young people to embrace who they are and have the self-assurance to open up possibilities for themselves.
And thus, this is much of what the tree is about!. The roots of a great tree signify the preparation needed for interviews. The trunk symbolises that young person being reassured that they are ‘enough’ – and thus they can ‘stand steady, stand still’. And the branches are the possibilities that come from having the faith to connect and reach out and take courageous action.”

Caroline de Pelet Abraham launched Branching Out to empower, inspire, equip and motivate pupils and young graduates with skills to approach interviews with genuine self assurance and preparedness.
The aim is to encourage clients to be focused and diligent in their preparation for interviews so that can engage with confidence. This is NOT about rote learning possible responses to a set of standard interview questions.
