Elizabeth is an outstanding interview coach whom I highly recommend. Her sessions helped me overcome insecurities as a non-native speaker working in higher education, boosting my confidence and highlighting my skills and abilities. Elizabeth’s calm and kind attitude helped me to stay grounded, but also guided me back to my strengths when I felt lost during the interview, ultimately leading to the attainment of my dream job. I am immensely grateful for her support and look forward to future collaborations.

Elizabeth is a very supportive coach. I was applying for a Business Analyst role and within an hour of a second interview I was called back by the company to let me know that they really liked me and offered me the job. I thought I knew how to use the STAR approach before but Elizabeth has a unique interpretation of it and I was complimented on my response. What really helped me was the way she broke the STAR up for me in a way which was relevant to the role and sector I was going for. My interview felt much more like a conversation. I learnt a lot and feel so much more confident in interviews

After five years abroad,I decided to re enter the London job market. Having used Elizabeth's services before, I did not hesitate to contact her again. With her guidance and support I was successful in getting offers from multiple companies. Elizabeth is sincere and cares about her clients and their job satisfaction beyond the remit of her role as an interview coach, her many years of experience give her a discerning eye and she can predict in a very short space of time what her clients need and how to get them from A to B. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She also goes out of her way to make time for her clients and is very punctual and organised.

Interview coaching with Matt was exactly what I needed. My skills were rusty and I'd lost confidence. I really liked Matt's direct but supportive approach. I was out of my comfort zone during the sessions (which was good!) but through practice my confidence grew and learning took place. I now have an excellent structure to work with for future interviews. I'm very grateful for Matt's help. Thank you.

I was feeling insecure in my communication skills when I met with Elizabeth for a mock interview. Her knowledge paired with her straightforward approach meant that in one hour we had covered a number of actionable insights that instantly boosted my confidence. I walked into the interview with a clear plan (and renewed belief in my competence) and dare I say I even enjoyed it! Thank you for doing what you do!

Matthew has been incredibly supportive and helpful throughout my application process (on multiple occasions. With his support, I was able to land my first civil service role. He put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into every session. His techniques were incredibly helpful and I have learnt skills that I will continue to use throughout my career. Couldn’t recommend more.

Elizabeth is a fabulous coach. Following her coaching, I had two coaching sessions I got a senior programme manager role in the Civil Service, it was a very complex role. I offered the job and I was told my interview was excellent!! Elizabeth gave me such detailed and insghtful feedabck I was able to reshape all my Behaviour answers and went into the interview feeling much more confident. Thank you Elizabeth

Elizabeth's coaching made a huge difference. I was struggling with getting a permanent role at the University despite knowing I had all the experience I needed. The interview was challenging with lots of situational questionsand I didn't know where I was going wrong. Elizabeth was able to demonstrate how to rephase my answers in a way which the Interviewers wanted. We had two coaching sessions and her advice was invaluable, the interview went exceptionally well and I got the job. Thank you so much for your time and support.

I had never done a UK Civil Service interview, and had never worked with a coach before - and I needed urgent help to prepare for an application. I found Mathew Eastlake during an online search and I had no idea what to expect. 4 sessions later I can honestly say it was probably the best investment of my life. Not only did Matt help me ace the interview and secure the role, but during our sessions I also learned so much more about my strengths and weaknesses. In just 4 sessions I learned how to focus my answers and present myself in the best possible way. I could not have gotten the role without Matt - that is the truth. If you need help preparing for an interview you have reached the best possible team to work with. Don't hesitate. THANK YOU !!!!

I am so pleased I took the opportunity to have professional help with my interview technique (which I very much needed). Matthew Eastlake is obviously extremely experienced and went the extra mile to ensure his advice was personalised and appropriate for the role. I learnt so much about the kinds of questions to expect, how to answer them, and prepare for the presentation. It gave me much more confidence. It worked as I go the job!!! It was particularly rewarding to be complimented on how well I interviewed afterwards. Its definitely an investment in the future. Thank you Matthew!

Thank you Ivana, it was a pleasure working together. You had excellent skills and experience for the role and just needed a small boost in confidence to promote yourself. I am sure you’ll love the new challenge.

Hi Sonal, a good interview should feel and sound just like a conversation so this is a great response. It’s very easy to over prepare and not let our personality shine through but you clearly did this, together with your skills and experience. It was a pleasure to support you.

Hi Aashna, many thanks. You did amazingly well again, not just getting one but two very challenging roles. It’s a pleasure working together. I am sure you have made the best decision, it will be a career change but I am sure you will thrive as a lawyer and have a fantastic career.

Thank you for leaving a review for me Alexia. I am really pleased that you found the coaching helpful and that I was able to point you in the right direction. Preparing for an interview is often a daunting task which requires a structured and disciplined approach. You were ready to learn and invested time not only in reflecting on our coaching sessions by watching back the recordings, but you responded positively to feedback about style and the structure/content of your answers. Importantly you worked hard at practicing – this is the key element. I wish you every success and please keep in touch. Matt

Many thanks Kris, I am so pleased you came across Interview Skills Clinic on Youtube and your were able to achieve success after just one coaching session. This is amazing and I know how much preparation your put into the interview. You deserve the success you achieved.

Thank you for your kind words Yasmin. You worked hard and listened carefully to the coaching, especially given the Civil Service interview was a different structure and approach to the previous interviews you had attended. By working through a couple of examples together you were then able to use this ‘blueprint’ for each of the required examples. I look forward to hearing of your continued success.
