What is GDPR?

From 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) strengthened the rights of individuals regarding their personal data and sought to unify local data protection laws across Europe. GDPR required new or additional obligations on organisations both in and outside the EU who process personal data of EU residents. Brexit is unlikely to affect these obligations.

 

What data do we collect?

ISC collects and stores personal identification information including names, email addresses, phone numbers, CVs or other documents that have been provided to us, and forthcoming interview details. During online coaching we temporarily store video recordings of the coaching session.

 

What legal basis do we have for processing your personal data?

We process personal information for certain legitimate business purposes, which include some or all of the following:

  • to provide you with the best service and therefore the best chance of interview success;
  • where the processing enables us to enhance, modify, personalise or otherwise improve our services/communications for the benefit of our customers;
  • to better understand how visitors interact with our website;
  • for teaching purposes to improve our services;
  • to provide details of services which we think will be of interest to you: and
  • to determine the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and advertising.

You have the right to object to this processing (please see below); however, please bear in mind that if you object, this may affect our ability to carry out the above tasks for your benefit.

 

How do we collect data?

The data that we collect has been provided by you when you

  • use or view our website via your browser’s cookies;
  • register online for a free consultation;
  • provide information in relation to a forthcoming interview;
  • use one or more of our services; or
  • provide feedback on our services.

 

How will we use your data?

We collect your data so that we can

  • provide you with any services that you require;
  • email you with offers on any products and services that may be of benefit to you. You have the right to opt out of these emails at any time by emailing us with your updated preferences; and
  • improve our website and the services that we provide.

We will never pass on your details to third parties.

 

How do we store your data?

We store your data securely and keep it indefinitely, until/unless you advise us that you would like your data removed. Our experience is that clients often return for our services, sometimes many years later after a previously successful interview, and our service is more efficient if we have retained information from previous instructions that we can refer to.

 

Video recordings

We video record online coaching sessions and share the video recordings with you after the coaching sessions. We ask you to download and save the recording to your own devise and give you the password to keep. Whilst we are working together, we store the last coaching session together so the coach can play back the session between coaching if needed but we delete earlier sessions and delete all recordings once coaching is complete. 

 

What are your data protection rights?

  • You have the right to request copies of the personal data that we hold. There may be a small fee for this service.
  • You have the right to request correction of any information that you believe to be inaccurate.
  • You have the right to request that your personal data be erased, under certain conditions.

Elizabeth is truly amazing. She has not only helped me stand tall but also completely transformed how I approach interviews and view my skill set. As an interview coach, she goes beyond the basics of preparing for a role. She helps you tailor your skills to fit the specific roles you’re applying for, but more importantly, she opens your eyes to what you’re truly capable of. Sometimes we underestimate our natural abilities because they come easily to us, but Elizabeth shows you how to express these in a way that highlights their full value. She helps you see beyond tasks and focus on the big picture - especially on soft skills, which are crucial in today’s job market. When I first worked with Elizabeth, I received offers from three major companies immediately after our sessions, and I was able to choose the role that was the perfect fit for me. When I later went through a career change, she helped me again, and I successfully landed the job I was aiming for. I highly recommend Elizabeth. Her insights and guidance are invaluable!

Coaching with Claire Hodgson was the best decision I made to kick start my career. Warm and approachable and also punchy, she challenged me to improve much more than I believed I was capable of, and then built up my confidence to perform optimally at interview. I know I would not have got my dream job in the Civil Service without her help. She’s a great coach, so do not waste another second thinking about hiring her. Do it. If you want the job, she is the key to get you through the door.

I highly recommend Elizabeth and the interview skills clinic. Elizabeth helped me prepare for an interview for a Civil Service Grade 6 role and the three sessions gave me the confidence and skills needed to get the job. As someone who has struggled with interviews in the past I now have the skills to confidently tackle senior Civil Service interviews for the years to come. Elizabeth has a complete understanding the civil service behaviours and interview format so it felt like getting insider knowledge which proved to be essential. Thanks again to Elizabeth and the team.

Elizabeth is an outstanding interview coach whom I highly recommend. Her sessions helped me overcome insecurities as a non-native speaker working in higher education, boosting my confidence and highlighting my skills and abilities. Elizabeth’s calm and kind attitude helped me to stay grounded, but also guided me back to my strengths when I felt lost during the interview, ultimately leading to the attainment of my dream job. I am immensely grateful for her support and look forward to future collaborations.

Elizabeth is a very supportive coach. I was applying for a Business Analyst role and within an hour of a second interview I was called back by the company to let me know that they really liked me and offered me the job. I thought I knew how to use the STAR approach before but Elizabeth has a unique interpretation of it and I was complimented on my response. What really helped me was the way she broke the STAR up for me in a way which was relevant to the role and sector I was going for. My interview felt much more like a conversation. I learnt a lot and feel so much more confident in interviews

After five years abroad,I decided to re enter the London job market. Having used Elizabeth's services before, I did not hesitate to contact her again. With her guidance and support I was successful in getting offers from multiple companies. Elizabeth is sincere and cares about her clients and their job satisfaction beyond the remit of her role as an interview coach, her many years of experience give her a discerning eye and she can predict in a very short space of time what her clients need and how to get them from A to B. I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She also goes out of her way to make time for her clients and is very punctual and organised.

Interview coaching with Matt was exactly what I needed. My skills were rusty and I'd lost confidence. I really liked Matt's direct but supportive approach. I was out of my comfort zone during the sessions (which was good!) but through practice my confidence grew and learning took place. I now have an excellent structure to work with for future interviews. I'm very grateful for Matt's help. Thank you.

I was feeling insecure in my communication skills when I met with Elizabeth for a mock interview. Her knowledge paired with her straightforward approach meant that in one hour we had covered a number of actionable insights that instantly boosted my confidence. I walked into the interview with a clear plan (and renewed belief in my competence) and dare I say I even enjoyed it! Thank you for doing what you do!

Yasmin on January 21, 2024 at 22:50 pm

Matthew has been incredibly supportive and helpful throughout my application process (on multiple occasions. With his support, I was able to land my first civil service role. He put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into every session. His techniques were incredibly helpful and I have learnt skills that I will continue to use throughout my career. Couldn’t recommend more.
