About Margaret

Having recruited for a number of international organizations across Europe, I have noticed that a lot of people, even those with a lot of experience, struggle with interview performance and 'selling' themselves effectively. I have decided to use my extensive experience in recruiting and interviewing in order to help others learn how to play to their strengths and counter their weaknesses during job interviews.

HR and other managers today are continually asking for detailed examples of your past performance. They assume that you will do as well (or as poorly) in the new job as you did in the old one, so providing positive examples of your previous experience is critical. Therefore, you need to examine your past performance in a way that will empower you to handle these questions in a professional and competent manner. This is where I can help.

I have extensive experience of interviewing professionals at all levels, from students to senior executives across a number of industries, both in the private and public sectors.

Upon graduating with a Master's Degree in Marketing & Management, I have worked in media and banking sector, before moving into recruitment.

I have recruited for a variety of roles across Europe, the Middle East and Africa for leading organizations in the networking & infrastructure, storage management and software space, and I am currently managing recruitment in Southern Europe and the UK for a global US software vendor.

I am also a qualified Personal Performance Coach, as well as Corporate & Executive Coach, and apart from working with you on your interview technique, I can help you with developing confidence and the 'winning' attitude that will make it easier for you to get any job you want!

Interviewers can throw a series of difficult questions at you and try to catch you out. I will provide specific advice to help you prepare for and deal with these difficult to answer questions.

During 1-to-1 interview coaching session, I will work with you to make sure that you are sending the "right" message about what you have to offer, as well as help you in structuring your answers to competency-based questions. You and I will work on a strategy to show the interviewer that you are the best person for the job!
