Matthew Eastlake was instrumental in helping me to prepare for my interview , building my confidence and landing my dream job. I had a mock interview session with Matthew. He provided excellent feedback and helped me to align my examples with each competency.
I would strongly recommend Matthew. Thanks Matthew!!

James helped me better understand my skill set and identify a more fulfilling, progressive career. When preparing for the role opportunity he built my confidence and provided a perspective that contributed to a successful outcome. I’ve recommended James before and would happily do again.

I had one session with Elizabeth before going on a last minute interview. The session really helped me to understand what the interviewers were looking for in my answers and how to adapt my answers to meet the competencies. Elizabeth highlighted the importance of showing leadership and that this is the 'golden thread' that is woven through all the competencies. I'm pleased to say I was offered the role and got top marks for each of the competencies I was assessed against. I have no hesitation in recommending coaching with Elizabeth/the skills clinic - it's an investment that will pay off! Thanks again

I would like to thank Elizabeth for both her skills and patience in supporting me to get where I wanted to be. The face to face recorded sessions were invaluable. They gave me the chance to work at pace but also the opportunity to review the material in my own time. Thank you Elizabeth, the experience was greatly appreciated.

James is a true expert in his field. His combination of deep technical knowledge combined with his personable and empathetic approach is extremely effective.

James, thank you very much for the session today, I found it incredibly useful and I enjoyed discussing interview answers with you. You helped me draw out my own experiences and how to phrase them in a way that sounds genuine but also appealing for an employer. Overall it was genuinely a really positive experience. Thanks for the great list of insightful questions that I can use to ask the employer too, and the tips about describing an object in detail!

Thank you very much Elizabeth and Matthew. I was total rubbish in my first coaching session and a bit better in my second. I got very good feedback on what to improve and areas to tidy up. Surprisingly, I got a G7 offer in the civil service and I am here preparing for a G6 role. Still counting on them (of course!) to coach me through the finishing line. Now my confidence is high and I am so happy and grateful. Thanks a million, you saved my family.

James is a fantastic career coach and a delight to deal with. He is very creative in his approach and really thinks outside of the box when trying to come up with alternatives avenues for people to explore in their careers. He is also super helpful in coming up with a different way of helping you present your capabilities and strengths.

After several unsuccessful job applications and a subsequent drop in confidence, I sought professional guidance from Matthew. From the onset he was incredibly supportive and helpful. Matthew provided clear direction and advice on my Curriculum Vitae and Cover Letters to help ensure they would ‘stand out’ from the rest. Within 4 days of receiving Matthew’s guidance I was offered a job! Not only has this boosted my confidence but I will be able to use the information he has taught me in future job applications. Matthew is extremely experienced, professional and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Matthew helped prepare me for Medical School interviews. I had two layouts - one in an MMI format with questions sent out prior and one was a little more unknown but told to be more group and scenario based. Matthew was excellent in helping me with my questions - running through with the good aspects of my answers, highlighting how I could improve, gave me suggestions to think outside the box, everything. He helped me practice answering to improve my confidence with the interview setting and gave me tips for feeling at ease. With the other interview where I was unsure how to prepare, he gave me skills and actions appropriate to all situations to help improve me generally as an interviewee. Overall excellent service and a huge help with my interviews!
