This would typically include a copy of your CV or Application as well as the Job Description and Person Specification for any role(s) you are targeting (if available).
Stage 1:
At the beginning of your session your Interview Coach will ask you some relevant ‘test’ interview questions in order assess your current skill level and identify which areas require the most attention. They will also discuss with you which areas of your interview technique you feel require the most work and what aspects of the interview you are feeling most anxious about as well as getting an insight into your career aspirations and reasons for seeking a new role.
Stage 2:
Once your Interview Coach has identified the key issues and areas you need help with, they will then work with you to improve your interview technique. This can include;
- Helping you to formulate your own answers to competency based interview questions
- Helping you to convey your unique skills, experience and achievements in a way which best demonstrates your suitability
- Avoiding common pitfalls
- Preparation of some standard answers to tough questions you may be asked at interview
- Guidance on how to research a potential employer before your interview
- Teaching you some techniques to build rapport with the interviewer(s)
- Providing relevant questions for you to ask a potential employer at interview
- Providing advice on how to dress to impress and improve your body language
Stage 3:
At the end of the session we will stage a short Mock Interview to allow you to benchmark your progress and practice your new techniques. Because we use real job interview questions throughout you can be assured that you will gain a realistic understanding of your interview performance has improved.
Written Feedback Notes:
After your session, you will receive a full written report including notes on everything covered during your session. This will include details of strong points, areas for improvement and general advice for each of the interview questions covered as well as advice on improving your overall approach and confidence. Your Interview Coach can also recommend specific areas for you to continue working on in your own time after the session.

Brilliant. The consultant has been really supportive and encouraging. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends.

Thanks for this help. I was having trouble with certain questions and how to answer them. I was trying to get to a managerial position and I succeeded thanks to this coaching. They asked the questions we had prepared so it was so much easier than before.

I’m pleased to report that I’ve verbally accepted an offer for a Bid Writer role with a salary of £42k plus 10% discretionary annual bonus. Fortunately, this all means I can continue with the house purchase. Thank you for all your assistance with the interview prep. I could not have done it without you!

Thanks for helping to pick the right examples to highlight, there were quite a few to choose from so I feel that we collaborated to get the best ones. I should ace the interviews now
GR, Property Transaction Associate –
I would recommend this service to anyone with an important interview ahead. I was not sure if it would help me in my situation, but it was very effective.
HO, Business Development Consultant –
I had only worked for large companies previously, so when an opportunity came up to support a start-up I was attracted to it. As I would be working directly with the founder I felt I needed to make a strong impression, the coaching certainly helped me to get across the correct information and I secured a second interview
KA, Specialist Asset Management Field Operative –
My job is very technical but the consultant asked me relevant questions and helped me to prepare for a significant job interview. I am very grateful for the assistance, fingers crossed I am successful.
GR, Senior Outreach Team Leader –
I had asked for some general advice from family and friends, but I felt I needed something more formal. I was not disappointed. I found this service to be far greater than my expectations and I have recommended your service to others as I feel informal support can only take you so far.
RD, Conference Manager –
I was looking for a position that would allow me time off with my family for the holidays, this is quite rare in my industry, so when I found a role I really needed to make sure that I aced the interview, despite some curve balls thrown at me, I felt that due to the coaching I coped well.
BV, Luxury Travel Consultant –
I found this service helpful as the consultant picked up on things that I had missed.
MV, Fundrasing Manager –
The consultant was very patient with me as I had not had a interview in many, many years. I was facing redundancy and it had come as a bit of a shock as I had been in the role and with the company for a very long time. I would recommend this service to anyone as I felt it really helped me to focus. I now have a new position and I am very grateful for the support at a difficult time.
PT, Sales Representative –
Although I had been in sales for a while I was moving to a commission only role, it was with a great company so I felt it wasnt a risk, but I needed to ace the interview. The coaching helped me get the job and now it is down to me to make the role my own.
WS, Executive Assistant –
Very professional and straight to the point. I had a number of questions that I felt were addressed in detail. I think I may book another session if I have more interviews, but I was successful in gaining a role very quickly which I believe is in part due to this coaching
GF, Custody Engagement & Diversion Service Lead –
This was a massive step up for me, so I wanted to put some time and effort into preparing for my interview. I would recommend anyone who is not sure if their interview technique is lacking.

I wanted to secure this job as it was work from home, the interview coaching really helped me to nail it.

This service gave me confidence, I felt really listened to and I felt my queries were answered in enough depth so that I could understand but they were relevant to me.

I was able to answer the questions that I always hesitated to answer in an interview. the coach Rachel was very professional and very easy to talk to. Thanks.

CF, Event Manager –
Thank you for providing me with such a good service, I found the feedback although I was nervous, it was delivered in a constructive manner and I learnt a lot about some of the common mistakes that I had been making.
DG, Consultant –
In my opinion there is no replacement for having a one on one service, the customisation of material made this session an effective use of my time as there was no filler or irrelevant information.
DS, Assistant Manager –
I was surprised that I only needed one session to get ahead, I had been planning to book two sessions but I was offered the job after the second interview.
WS, Sales Representative –
The support and encouragement was second to none, I was returning to work after a career break so I was nervous about interviews. Robin was helpful and clear and supportive so I felt more confident in approaching an interview.
AK, Contract Manager –
I just wanted to give you some feedback as I got the job! It was a process with a number of interviews of different types so I was happy that we prepared for the telephone interview as this was the final stage.
CC, Analyst –
I considered this an investment but as I secured a new position it was well worth it. I also can use the skills I learned for any future interviews so it has paid for itself already.
DG, Service Manager –
I appreciated the personal approach and all of the tips and hints that I received. It was good to have such direct answers for my questions, nothing was too much trouble, so I now feel confident to approach interviews after a break.
CM, Travel Consultant –
That you for all of the advice, I needed the confidence boost and the tips were very useful. I wasnt as nervous as I expected this time and they asked some variations of the questions that we practiced. Thank you

I had been caring for a family member so I wanted a strong start to returning to work, which thanks to the Coaching service I got a number of second interviews so it was well worth my time
BV, Certificated Enforcement Agent –
This gave me a lot of confidence, I had been promoted internally but had never applied for a role outside of my current company, so this was very helpful
ML, Facilities Management Estimator –
Great tips that were easy to action in a real life situation, I feel that my performance has improved and I have been practising my answers as you suggested, Finally I felt prepared for those ‘curve ball’ questions which had always ruined my performance before I booked the coaching.
