Just to let you know the interview went well and I have been offered the position. After 2 1/2 years I got a job again!

Thanks for your help.

Senior Manager, made redundant from a Managing Director role in a large media group in 2009, who just got a senior management job in independent education sector

Margaret’s coaching was tremendously helpful. She switched straight from a relaxed discussion about what I felt I needed from coaching, and the demands of the job I was going for, into a really testing interview. I was amazed at how real she made it feel. The experience gave me some solid areas on which I had to improve and prepare for forthcoming interviews. I now have the perfect new job.

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.

Just to give you some feedback - I found the session we had very helpful in getting me back 'on track' in thinking about my career history and achievements and about presentation skills.

Although we met at an early state in my preparations it helped me to focus quickly and the questions that you sent through supported my preparations.

I have retained a post in the re-structured organisation – thanks so much for your help
