Georgina was incredibly helpful and experienced in what she does. Georgina was easy to contact and went out of her way to make time for me often with little notice. I highly recommend this to anyone who is going through the job application and interview process. 10/10

I had no idea that there were interview coaches before my meetings with Elizabeth. I am so thankful I was referred to her. She cut straight to the chase and with limited time helped me get the job I wanted. I look forward to working with her in the future in any way, shape or form.

Jane offers a 1st class professional service that was well worth my time and money. If you want to understand yourself better, and how to project yourself, then please do consider this. It will be testing, and you will get some homework 😊, but I learnt so much that I will take away for life not just for this one opportunity. Highly recommended

This was my first time working with an interview coach and I found the experience fantastic. Claire really helped me confidently approach my interview and was instrumental in my success at being offered a role. Highly recommend this service for anyone who needs interview help, especially for employers with very specific processes (like the Civil Service). Thanks again!

Matthew Eastlake gave me some very sound advice about my interview technique during a very stressful time. He was firm and gave tough feedback in a gentle and positive way, and also reassured me and built my confidence. I'm very glad I found Interview Skills Clinic.

Matt has been absolutely amazing and really made the impossible happen. Following a series of bad interviews, he has managed to complete turn my mindset around, prompt the right thinking and allow me to confidently walk through some tough interviews recently. Results are not out yet but still, the outcome wouldn't change my feedback on his coaching because it has been absolutely outstanding. Thank you so much Matt, Amanda

It was brilliant to have Matthew's help and coaching recently when I was in the process of applying for a new role. His advice and insight into how to structure examples to demonstrate my skills and experience was invaluable, and our mock interview session was very helpful in knowing which examples needed strengthening. I'm delighted to say I have since received an offer for a new job with the BBC, so thank you Matthew! I would highly recommend working with him.

Elizabeth, thanks for all your help with the job interview. I did the interview and 30 mins afterwards the hiring manager called and offered me the job. Hurrah! I started the role yesterday and today one of the others on the panel said to me how great my interview was. He wished he could have recorded it to show others how to do the perfect interview! He said my presentation was brilliant and that he scored me a 7 on some of the answers. When it finished, he turned to the hiring manager and said “you’ve got your chief of staff” and that I was head and shoulders above anyone else. I knew the interview had gone well when I signed off and I’m delighted the panel thought so too.When I’m applying for jobs in 2 years’ time, I will be calling you before any interviews!

I was coming up to my 6th Civil Service interview. I was frustrated, as I could secure interviews with my applications but was scoring low on my verbal answers. I had a session with Matthew the day before and I got the job! Thanks to Matthew's coaching, I was able to fine tune my behaviour answers. It was pricey but obviously worth every penny, as I now have an income coming in, instead of several more months doing interviews with no wage. I would highly recommend Matthew's services and may return, if I ever go for a promotion. Superb quality! Thank you!

Over the course of a year, I attended three interviews for various Civil Service positions. Unfortunately, I didn't pass any of the interview stages despite feeling confident about my understanding of the competency framework. In light of this, I made the decision to seek the assistance of an interview coach to prepare for an upcoming interview. I scheduled two sessions with Matthew, which proved to be immensely insightful and beneficial. With his guidance, I gained a clearer understanding of the requirements and what the employers were seeking. Matthew helped me structure my responses effectively, and I found this to be one of the best investments I've made for my career. I am thrilled to share that I eventually secured the job, and I am incredibly grateful to Matthew for helping me regain my confidence and belief in myself. I want to express my sincere gratitude to him. Without a doubt, I will seek his guidance again in the future.
