Thank you Elizabeth for your help in preparing for the Civil Service interview. I got offered three positions in different departments after our meetings. Our sessions helped me get a better perspective in the way I had to approach the behaviour based questions. I have since recommended your services to some of colleagues looking to make a change. Thank you once again!!

A big thank you to Georgina. While I applied to Graduate Schemes, I had several sessions with her to get some good tips for the application processes, as well as honing my interview skills. I got extremely useful information for all of the above, especially in terms of improving the conciseness and clarity of my interview answers. I ended up getting a job offer for my first choice graduate scheme. I have Georgina to thank for this! A five star service - thank you very much.

Thank you Matthew Eastlake for your help which resulted in my successful application into the Civil Service. Matthew ensured that the coaching time was specific to my interview and focused on the role(s) I applied for and this resulted in my amazing interview performance in which I secured two positions in the Civil Service in different departments! Thank you again for your encouragement, time and help Matthew.

It's the 4th time I have looked to the interview skills clinic for interview prep for myself or my partner and we have gone on to recieve an offer each time. Was again with Matthew, he is great and takes time to look at your weaknesses. Thank you

I thoroughly appreciate the insights and constructive challenge Elizabeth Conley (Founder | Senior Interview Coach) gave me to support my ambition to achieve promotion in the UK Civil Service. Her advice and our 1-2-1 coaching sessions were critical to my career progression.

My son, A, has been offered a degree apprenticeship in software engineering. He received very positive feedback from his interviewer and the person who contacted him to let him know. I must say that this would not have been possible without Chista’s help, and say a BIG MASSIVE THANK YOU for her support, guidance, coaching and her approach with A. The confidence that A gained from the sessions was invaluable. This is such success in this highly competitive field!!! We cannot but reflect on how much Chista gave him in terms of techniques, guidance to reflective thinking and embedding this into his answers which he duly followed and the result is before our eyes. We are hugely grateful.

Really appreciated Elizabeth's support for a recent job interview for a senior role in the civil service - she revealed the secrets to SCS interviews that I haven't been able to find anywhere else! Thank you

I am very grateful to Matt for his excellent guidance over a couple of interview coaching sessions. He is very skilled at understanding what areas of your experience are relevant to the Civil Service behaviours/competencies and helping you tailor your answers accordingly. I came away feeling far more confident about my ability to communicate effectively in an interview and I am delighted to say that I got the job. Highly recommend!

Ben on April 21, 2022 at 17:23 pm

I had two sessions with Chista and they were definitely the boost I needed to get my first ever job in the Civil Service with little experience of the workplace. The role I was applying for was quite competitive and I was a bit unsure of how to prep for the interview, however, Chista's kind and friendly approach for my prep was exceptional with a mix of interview questions and mock interviews being combined to really help me get an understanding of the Civil Service recruitment process. Thank you Chista!

I have employed Jane a number of times for her guidance and coaching. She has been invaluable in helping me improve my interview technique, tackle difficult questions and build confidence. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
