    I was signposted to Interview Skills Clinic by a barrister colleague after securing an interview for a solicitor training contract with the CPS.

    Elizabeth immediately identified the right coach for me, Chista who was fantastic.

    I had consciously avoided interviews in my previous career as I found them intimidating. Chista broke down the Civil Service Interview process for me and explained the style of questioning, which made the whole thing seem straightforward and manageable.

    She turned my interview skills and confidence around within three sessions. It was a highly competitive selection process and I know I wouldn’t have secured the job without her.

    Thank you Chista! I have recommended you to my friend who is applying for a barrister role at the CPS later in the year.

      Dear Abi
      Thank you for your kind review, and I was so pleased to learn of your well-deserved success. You have worked exceptionally hard, and with your extensive skills and experience, the CPS are lucky to have you on board! All you needed was a little confidence to really shine at the interview. Thank you also for the recommendation, and I wish you every success and happiness in your bright future. All best wishes, Chista

    Matthew was excellent.

    Even though I thought I had prepared well, Matthew asked and challenged me on topics I hadn’t even considered.

    Everything he told me to read up on was asked in the interview and his preparation advice really paid off.

    I particularly liked how he would dissect my answers and guide me on how to improve.

    I am grateful for Matthew’s input.

    Thank you

    I was successful in getting to the interview stage however I wasn’t landing any job offers. Matt helped me to focus on the questions and to tailor my responses accordingly. Matt’s helpful presentation tips helped me to nail this part of the interview. I wouldnt have got the job if I hadnt had the help from Matt.

    I was low in confidence when I contacted the Interview Skills Clinic. I’ve never done a competency-based interview before so it seemed very daunting and exam-like. I even postponed the interview because I was a bag of nerves. But Elizabeth was so patient in our first session giving me practical advice and tips which I was able to use to improve before our second session when we did a mock interview. I got through the real interview thinking I might possibly make it on to the Civil Service reserve list but unlikely. To my huge surprise, I was offered a role. I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough – she calmed my nerves and I’m certain I wouldn’t have been offered the job without her help.

      Hi Helen, you did really well and got the role because you had all the necessary skills and experience. You just needed a confidence boost because Civil Service interviews were so unfamiliar. Enjoy the new challenge.

    I contacted Elizabeth after a couple days just thinking about it just before an interview and at the last minute, decided to book a coaching session to really focus my mind as I had been doing various interviews for a few months. The experience Elizabeth and Matthew (who coached me) was what made the decision for me after a chat with Elizabeth. It was money well spent as they fitted me in a day before my interview! Matthew helped me get focused, polish my weaker areas and deliver a great interview that I felt calm going into and came out feeling that I’d done my best. Thank you Matthew!

    Elizabeth was fabulous! She has left me with an offer at my first choice university masters programme and as a mature student I feel confident to make that next step in my life.

    She challenged my perception of an interview and I felt she was very nurturing in the process. Thank you. Xx

    I had one session with Chista to prepare me for an orthodontic interview.

    Despite the interview being cancelled due to the pandemic she was absolutely fantastic throughout the process.

    Chista was extremely encouraging, friendly and always went above and beyond. She offered invaluable guidance on how to deliver answers with structure and confidence. I was impressed by how organised the session was and how it catered for the interview so well.

    I cannot recommend Chista enough and I was subsequently successful in attaining my first choice job.

    I have never had to write a CV, other than my University personal statement. I was put in contact with Matthew, submitted my CV and I had it returned to me the next day. He made some very useful amendments, explaining the changes he had made. He also offered to discuss any aspect of it with me.
    It was extremely helpful and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him for advice in the future.

    I found university interview to be different from the rest and wanted to make sure I was prepared. My coach was Elizabeth Conley, I had three sessions with her and she was very helpful and helped me to discover my true potentials and polished them. As a result, by the time of my interview I was comfortable and confident to express myself in the best attitude and I was successful to get an offer from the university!

    Thank you Elizabeth.
