Interview Coaching Sessions

One to one interview coaching can be delivered as a one-off 60-90 minute session or as a series of sessions if required. Many people feel that after the first session their knowledge of how to articulate their skills and qualities is well honed, they know how to answer questions and they feel much more confident.

Testimonials

“Julie helped me to prepare for a recent interview and I felt massively better prepared than I otherwise would. I didn’t get the role but gave it a much better shot than I otherwise could thanks to Julie and the feedback was that I was operating at the level of the role but the specialism wasn’t quite right for me.

I was very happy with this feedback and when a role at that level in the right specialism comes up I will be calling Julie to help me prepare.”

Prof. Edward Rochead, Chief Mathematician and Strategy Lead, DSTL

“I approached Julie for some generic interview coaching and to help me prepare for a specific interview. I have to say that Julie provided a first class service. In a very busy schedule Julie fitted me in and after providing her with some pre-meeting material she took me through an interview asking some role specific and generic competency questions. We then analysed each answer and, together, worked on better and more focused answers as well as body language and other key aspects of an interview. The result was that I felt more prepared and confident going into the interview than I otherwise would have. Most importantly, post interview, I felt that I had interviewed well. Would I use Julie again? Absolutely. Would I recommend her to others? Most definitely. Julie knows her stuff and she is both engaging and professional.”

David Bence, Chair, New Forest National Park Authority, Director National Parks England, Veteran

“I met Julie a few weeks ago to help me with my interviews because I had some difficulties. Julie understood my requirements and has been extremely helpful for me in getting my new role. She is professional and empathetic and I have no hesitation in recommending her if you are looking for experienced advice and support.”

Hugo Lopes, Environment, Health & Safety Advisor, Boehringer Ingelheim
