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!

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.

Elizabeth is a fabulous coach. Following her coaching, I had two coaching sessions I got a senior programme manager role in the Civil Service, it was a very complex role. I offered the job and I was told my interview was excellent!! Elizabeth gave me such detailed and insghtful feedabck I was able to reshape all my Behaviour answers and went into the interview feeling much more confident. Thank you Elizabeth

Elizabeth's coaching made a huge difference. I was struggling with getting a permanent role at the University despite knowing I had all the experience I needed. The interview was challenging with lots of situational questionsand I didn't know where I was going wrong. Elizabeth was able to demonstrate how to rephase my answers in a way which the Interviewers wanted. We had two coaching sessions and her advice was invaluable, the interview went exceptionally well and I got the job. Thank you so much for your time and support.

I had never done a UK Civil Service interview, and had never worked with a coach before - and I needed urgent help to prepare for an application. I found Mathew Eastlake during an online search and I had no idea what to expect. 4 sessions later I can honestly say it was probably the best investment of my life. Not only did Matt help me ace the interview and secure the role, but during our sessions I also learned so much more about my strengths and weaknesses. In just 4 sessions I learned how to focus my answers and present myself in the best possible way. I could not have gotten the role without Matt - that is the truth. If you need help preparing for an interview you have reached the best possible team to work with. Don't hesitate. THANK YOU !!!!
Having failed 3 partners interview in a row, and feeling deflated for a very long time, I decided to see Elizabeth. As soon as I met here for our very first consultation she made me feel at ease and opened my eyes instantly about my own abilities. She then taught me techniques which I will take with me to my grave.
If your having any difficulty what so ever in regards to any type of interview, I recommend you to see Elizabeth Conley. She’s thoughtful, caring, a hard working professional and very easy to approach in any situation.
Thank you. Remember you did all the hard work yourself and had excellent experience. You just needed a little guidance on what PwC are looking for. Go and celebrate lots!
I booked for training session for my skype interview. It was sooo great and very beneficial session. Spent 1 hour with Elizabeth in skype and she guide me to all importants information and guide me to step by step on expected questions.
With her training i manged to pass my first interview with positive feedback.
I recommend Elizabeth to anyone who wanted perfect guides prior to any interviews as she shows a unique skills and share professional knowlage
I am glad that search for an interview coach and working together from Bahrain was worthwhile. Enjoy your new role.
I retired from the police having served thirty years, so my last interview was 31 years ago! Prior to meeting Elizabeth I had three unsuccessful interviews as I was confident that I knew what I was doing. My wife suggested interview coaching and found Elizabeth, I was initially very sceptical. After our initial telephone consultation she was able to fit me in the day before my next interview. Elizabeth was professional and put me at ease immediately. After 10 minutes she stopped the interview and explained that I needed to lose a lot of the police techniques and habits I had acquired. She pointed out mannerisms, aspects of my body language and speech that came across as negative. She gave me alternative strategies, guided and really did coach me, explaining the reasons to me. Her guidance was invaluable. I really felt Elizabeth really tailored her approach to me, rather than it just being generic. Whilst I had the relevant skills and experience for the role I was interviewing for Elizabeth showed me how to present myself and my answers in a positive way. I was offered the role and accepted. I would not hesitate to recommend Interview Skills Clinic. Thank you Elizabeth.
I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for your help preparing for my interview. Your coaching approach worked really well for me, the interview went well and I got the job! If any of my friends or family are going for a job they really want to get I’m going to recommend they get in touch with you. Rachel
Many thanks Rachel. Internal roles can always be challenging interviews because you have to promote your skills to people you know and you were already doing the job. However, you took a really thorough approach and the preparation paid off. Enjoy the role.
I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for some help with regards to interview preparations. Her help is worth the price. When I went to see to her I had missed so many employment opportunities under graduate management training schemes at the physical interview stage and I regretted why I hadn’t gone sooner when a friend recommended her 6 months ago. Using her help I got the role I was after this time and was encouraged to re-apply for the graduate schemes for next year, something I had given up. My mock interview was very helpful in highlighting my weakness as well as strengths. She gave me an insight into how interviews are assessed which in turn gave the confidence during my interview. I will definitely be using her again.
Thank you Elizabeth.
You’ve very welcome Elizabeth. You have masses of opportunity ahead and the interivew skills you’ve learnt can be used over and over again. Onwards and upwards without a doubt! Thank you for your review.
Thanks very much Elizabeth for your help. I used a number of elements of your service, the CV check, the preparation for Interview and also the mock interview itself. All of these parts added significantly in their own way to my job application. As I was able understand more clearly what would allow me to stand out from the other candidates and ultimately led to my job success. In the mock interview I had questions that then came up in the real interview, so this allowed me to talk and promote myself, which is not something I am used to. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone and am very grateful to her for helping me gain the confidence to get the job I wanted.
Thank you Andrew. I’m glad the interviews went well as internal interviews are tricky and more difficult to promote yourself. You’ll be great in the role and will enjoy the promotion and new challenges.
Thank you Elizabeth for your valuable help. I had an amazing training and managed to get my first job in less than one month. Very friendly, supportive and professional!
I reduced my stress with your professional guide and answer with confident all the interview questions.
Hi Rafaela, well done. You got the job you really wanted so I am delighted for you. There will be lots of new opportunities in the future for you whether you want to stay in the academic sector or move into industry. Thank you for you review.
Elizabeth gave me valuable tips, which made a vital difference to my preparation for interviews and overall performance. She is a really warm person, who built up my confidence and was very encouraging when I came to her after a number of unsuccessful interviews. I also found it really useful that she offers training at weekends and on Skype. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth’s coaching, which led to 2 job offers for me after 2 sessions. Thank you!
Hi Reena, I am so pleased that the preparation coaching paid off for you. Thank you for generous comments and I know you’ll enjoy the new role.
Initially I was sceptical about having the session over Skype but this was unfounded and it proved invaluable. I was able to approach the interview with a new found confidence and ability to respond to all the questions put in front of me. I was offered the job at the end of the interview and I am sure this wouldn’t have been the case had I not had my session with Elizabeth. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
I know how important this interview and career change was for you so I am delighted that our coaching session helped. You’ll love working back with a team again and it’s the right step for you.
Elizabeth provided me with some very valuable tips and advice on how to approach interviews and how to consider the organisation’s requirements and needs during this process. I therefore learnt how to tailor my answers to their questions based on this advice, resulting in a successful interview and securing my desired job!
Thanks Leah, what an exciting start for you. I think it’s a great company for you and fits perfectly with your degree.
