I arranged an appointment with Elizabeth after a string of not-quite-successful interviews in the highly competitive university sector. The session was really helpful and gave me fresh perspective, improving my confidence and strategy. Based on Elizabeth's advice, I began approaching my interview prep differently and, following some practice and hard work based on what I learnt, have now managed to secure a job that I'm extremely pleased with. I'd recommend Elizabeth for anyone experiencing a similar situation.

Before my coaching sessions with Elizabeth, I had written off the civil service as a potential employer, despite having a background in policy development, as my applications failed to get me an interview on every single occasion. Elizabeth firstly supported me to write competency examples in a clearer and more succinct way through a Skype session and regular e-mail follow up. Once I had mastered this, I got through the sift on the next attempt. We then moved forward with 2 interview coaching sessions to help build my confidence in presenting my examples and tailoring them to different questions. I did well enough in the interview to be placed on the reserve list. I really enjoyed working with Elizabeth and would highly recommend her to others in a similar situation. I will continue to apply for civil service and public sector roles in the New Year with renewed confidence and enthusiasm.

In just one session with Elizabeth, I was able to see immediate results. She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that I believe was crucial in helping to develop key messages and responses during interviews that are delivered with both honesty and impact. I fully recommend Elizabeth for anyone seeking such skills.

When the opportunity of a career move came along I had been working for the same company for many years so had next to no experience of current interview techniques. Elizabeth was very patient, she helped me understand the interview process and offered me great insights into what the interviewer would be looking for, in both strengths and competency based questions. In our first Skype session she helped me articulate my answers and understand how to best prepare for the interview. During our second Skype session a few days before my interview she offered me very constructive feedback on how I could improve even further and really helped me approach the interview with confidence. Thanks to Elizabeth’s invaluable expertise and knowledge I was called back for a second interview and was offered the role! I really cannot thank Elizabeth enough for all her help and I highly recommend her coaching to anyone who needs support with interview techniques.

Before I had a session with Elizabeth, I was unsure as to how I should approach a forthcoming assessment centre for a place on the graduate scheme of a Big Four accounting firm. I had a tendency to lose track of what I wanted to say, and I wasn't sure which experiences best demonstrated the key values of the firm. However, with her insightful suggestions and deep understanding of both 1-on-1 interview and group exercise techniques, I felt assured and confident in my approach to preparation. As a result of her coaching, I had a clear strategy going into the AC, and was offered a position on my first attempt. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking to hone their interview technique, build real confidence and bring out their full potential in the interview process.

Matthew was very useful in helping me prepare for a children's therapist job. After a few failed interviews, due to a lack of confidence and limited experience of interviewing, Matthew helped me build a structure around how I answer questions and also build self confidence about the experience I had and ability to talk about it. I felt much more capable to answer questions in my interview the following week and managed to land the job!

I highly recommend Matthew's interview skills coaching. Matthew was brilliant, I was able to really refine my responses for the Civil Service Faststream interview and build confidence. I was much better prepared for the day and I wouldn't have passed without his help!

I would highly recommend investing in Elizabeth's services if you are applying in a competitive application process such as the civil service. Having had one previous interview which I did not pass, I decided that it would be a worthy investment to better understand a competency based interview. Following an interview coaching session, on the next interview I managed to make improvements, enough to get me on to a reserve list at least. In time with the help of Elizabeth I managed to get on to a few more reserve lists until finally passing an interview with an offer. Her guidance is extremely helpful especially if you are coming from outside the civil service as she is able to provide direction and clarity on where to focus. This was important to me in order to remain positive and persistent in the applications. Thanks Elizabeth for your help!

Elizabeth’s insightful questioning and industry awareness has ensured my success in securing two positions that were important to me. Elizabeth’s ability to clearly decipher what organisations are looking for from the job description/ specification is helpful and the coaching/ questioning style used is thorough yet supportive. For me this approach works in building confidence and clarity and was a significant factor in my success.. Thank you Elizabeth.

I highly recommend Elizabeth's interview skills coaching and I plan to use her again in the future. Elizabeth was pleasant and generous with her practical advice and feedback throughout my 90 minute skype coaching session. I decided to make the investment after failing numerous Civil Service Grade 7 interviews. Elizabeth understood and shared what the interviewers are looking for at that level. Thanks to Elizabeth's coaching, I passed my interview and landed a G7 job within 2 months.
