Testimonials

I had been getting mixed signals about my interview technique which had begun to demotivate me. This is when I had been told that I was a good interviewer. The session with Margaret was tough but useful. It is comforting to know that it might not be you performing badly but the interviewer. Margaret provided me with some top tips to negate this problem. Well worth the time and the money.

I thought I would update you on my current status. I was offered a position at Hewlett Packard, but I declined it. I had my second interview with HSBC on Tuesday and should have an answer on Monday, but I also had 2 interviews with Tetrapak and they have offered me a job today and I have accepted.

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and advice.

I was quite skeptical whether interview coaching could help, but I am so glad I did it – I only wish I did it a year ago!

The position I was in before is that I was made redundant in April 2008, ALL interviews I’ve attended since I simply froze up, lost control in the way of keeping a structured discussion in place and I ended up talking a lot of mumbo jumbo. I knew I can perform these jobs inside out, I have many years of experience, I simply just made a mess of the interview. I’ve bought books, DVD’s, and I just didn’t know what to do anymore.

After just one phone coaching session with Margaret, my confidence has significantly improved and my interview yesterday went really well. Having a document in front of me with bullet pointed items helped me immensely and I can now clearly articulate how specifically I can add value. Thanks so much.

I went to see Margaret because I was getting plenty of interviews but no job offers. The anecdotal feedback I was getting suggested that it was something to do with my interview technique, and particularly something around not being ‘dynamic’ or ‘sparky’ enough, even though I was technically very good. The coaching session with Margaret was really useful – from the moment she pointed out that my introductory handshake was a bit limp through the very grueling and totally realistic 40 minute interview to the detailed feedback, both at the end of the session and in the follow up email. What was particularly revealing was the realisation that I could be very ‘dynamic’ and ‘sparky’ as long as I stayed focused on the questions, had done my background research, and avoided waffling. I went away feeling very confident that I could do well in any interview situation.
