I was fortunate enough to be able to have a 90 minute Skype preparation session with Elizabeth before a recent Civil Service interview. It was absolutely fantastic, tremendous value for money and certainly a major factor in subsequently being successful at interview. Very helpful prep materials were sent in advance of the Skype session. However what really stood out was how Elizabeth completely altered the session around 15 minutes in when it was clear I was losing confidence. A key piece of advice she offered at this point totally changed my approach; I credit this as also being the key reason for passing the interview, too. I have subsequently recommended Elizabeth to two other Civil Service applicants, one who has also been successful directly after a prep session and another who will take their interview in the next few weeks. This is as good as professional coaching for interviews can be and I would recommend it to anyone at any level

I just wanted to say a proper thank you. Today I accepted a formal offer for the role of marketing officer. I really do credit my work with you for allowing me to take the edge off my nerves and articulate my skills much better. In their job offer they stated that I was a standout candidate which had certainly not been my experience up until then! Thank you very much. This has really taken my career in a wonderful direction and I'm so excited.

Amazing, Incredible, Fantastic - my 3 word summary of the experience I had with Elizabeth. In my early 50's - and feeling like Employer's would think I was 'past it' ... I quickly learn't I was holding myself back. In fact learning to summarise my 20 years experience by telling 'relevant and compelling stories' unlocked my potential and freed my brain. It was 'that simple.' I took a week to prepare using my new found learning, and In my next Interview the Interviewer was quickly nodding in agreement as I told him about my 20 years of relevant experience - I got the Job and I sailed through my first month's probationary period. So if you are thinking about gaining some learning and new insights on Interviews I would say 'Do It' and 'Enjoy It'

After unsuccessful interviews I decided to invest in some coaching with Elizabeth. We had one Skype session as that was all there was time for before my next interview. Elizabeth taught me how to apply the Star technique at interview. She also really boasted my confidence by pointing out to me how much skill and experience I had, which I was seriously beginning to doubt. I was much more confident than I usually am at my interview, and so better prepared. The company called me the next morning and offered me the job. Thank you so much Elizabeth. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I feel needs help with their job hunting.

Elizabeth coached me for two sessions to prepare for a Civil Service interview at short notice. Her help was invaluable in structuring my answers and in how best to prepare. I would have been completely in the dark otherwise.
Thank you again!
All the best,
Ciara

Incredibly helpful! I managed to get a job offer a week after seeing Elizabeth thanks to her tips on confidence and competency questions. Would highly recocommend to any recent graduates looking for their first job.

I had three sessions with Elizabeth, and noticed a dramatic improvement in my confidence at interviews. Her style is incredibly supportive and she's able to flex her approach to each person's individual needs. Elizabeth provided valuable feedback to help improve my performance, and she also recognises that a big part of interviewing is about having the right mindset - her moral support between sessions was greatly appreciated. I had a final coaching session before an intense final stage interview, and Elizabeth did a great job of preparing me for a different pace and style of questioning than I'd encountered before. I’m amazed what a difference the coaching made in such a short space of time and would recommend her services without hesitation.

After a number of unsuccessful final interviews I decided to invest in a session with Elizabeth. She quickly got to the core of what I was doing wrong and gave me useful practical guidance on the things I needed to change to improve and present myself and my skills in the best possible light. Three weeks later I had another interview and the next day was offered a permanent position as a Senior Research Manager in a large consulting firm. Thanks Elizabeth!

I took some time considering whether to set up a session and am really glad I decided to go ahead. Elizabeth was incredibly helpful in getting me to focus on what I really wanted to get across at an interview and how to deliver my answers, as well as giving useful pointers on how to present myself. I was offered the next job I applied for!

I dont know how to thank Elizabeth enough. She was able to break down the competencies in a way that made it easy for me to understand how I should prepare and how I should talk about my examples. We also met a week later for a mock interview and her feedback was invaluable.
I went back home that day and listened to the recording as many times as I needed to. I hadn't been successful in interviews for a couple of years and this was my first competency based interview I had to prepare for a senior starting position in the CS.I’m really happy to have found Elizabeth as investing in seeing her twice was the best decision and it got me the job I so much wanted. I was even told I gave the best answers by far across all competencies. Thank you so much Elizabeth, I will see you again in a couple of years when I will be looking for a promotion. Amanda
