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!

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
After two sessions with Elizabeth, I was selected for a senior legal role. 100 candidates had applied, 12 were called to first interview and 3 to the second. They picked me! I would not have been able to do it without her help.
Thanks SP, I know you’re up to the challenge of the new role. You’ll be fantastic!
After having so many telephone interviews without success, I finally met Elizabeth who showed me the ropes through her fantastic coaching lessons. I found the mock interviews very useful. Just after I completed my coaching lessons and mock interviews with her, I attended an interview and got the job immediately.
If you are out there and looking for tips on how to secure your next job by performing well in an interview, consultation with Elizabeth might just be the missing link to landing your next job. Why not give it a try?
Thanks Nimbe, I shall miss our sessions. You always made me laugh! Enjoy the new job.
I recently went through a recruitment process for a lead brand role, in which I was required to answer competency based questions and deliver a strategy presentation. Elizabeth’s session was immensely beneficial in practicing competency answers, keeping to time in my presentation and rehearsing my material. It was an immensely valuable contribution to my preparation process.
Hi Janet, I managed to remove your photo for you, lovely though it was. Have a lovely Christmas and a successful New Year x
My skype coaching session was so helpful. It made me aware of so many things that I could improve on that I hadn’t even thought of. And it also taught me far more about what interviewers are looking for so I knew how to structure my responses. I would recommend a practice interview to anyone!
After graduating from university I had really struggled to find a job, especially considering I decided to go down a completely different route to my degree!
I was getting the interviews but was really struggling when face to face as my lack of knowledge in the overall area was showing.
After working with Elizabeth I was able to highlight the my positives in a way that showed I was able to perform the job to the standand of a person who had a degree in that field and best of all I was able to conquer my extreme nerves which had hampered me in all my interviews to date.
The first job interview I had after my sessions with Elizabeth offered me the role!
I can’t thank Elizabeth enough for the help she gave me and would recommend anyone else who is struggling to get a job!!
Fantastic news Dave. I couldn’t be more pleased for you.
I am so pleased that I found Elizabth. I have managed to land a dream job and I’ve no doubt that I couldn’t have done it without her. Elizabeth guided me through a very vigorous recruitment process which has resulted in me being offered a very good job.
Having previously had great difficulty with competency questions, Elizabeth armed me with the skills and ability to draw on the right experiences and present my responses effectively.
She made me feel relaxed and taught me to deal with a variety of anxieties which had, in the past, prevented me from presenting myself to prospective employers in the best possible light.
I have already recommended Elizabeth to a friend. For anybody who is serious about a new position – use her – it’s worth every penny!!
Caroline, that’s very generous of you. Remember, you had the skills in the first place. I just showed you how to promote them a little more. I’m sure you’ll love your new position.
For me the main benefit of talking to Elizabeth was learning about how to present myself. Not only was she very useful in pointing out little habits that needed correcting but more importantly she helped me to understand how to convey my character and skillset effectively to an interviewer. The reflection and preparation I did before my mock interview helped me to understand how I see myself and my skill set in a business environment and through that how I could best convey those attributes and opinions. Thanks for all the help
Gareth, thank you. I’m sure internship with be really interesting. Keep hold of the interview techniques as they will help you when you’re looking for a new job after graduation.
I found my interview sessions with Elizabeth to be very productive. The questions were tailored to suit my profession as a teacher in a secondary school and Elizabeth provided much useful feedback on my body language, tone and structure of my answers. I feel more confident now and ready and prepared thanks to the mock interview sessions with Elizabeth. I would highly recommend to use Elizabeth’s services.
Thanks Luke. I know the jobs are only advertised at specific times of year so practise a little every week so you’re ready for the next interview.
Elizabeth was professional and a pleasure to work with from the outset.
She has many clear ideas, and her tutoring allowed me to see how I performed and how I can improve my performance further.
This has significantly improved my present and future confidence for the entire job application process.
I would definitely be happy to work with Elizabeth again in the future!
Thanks Ian. I hope it’s going well for you.
I found the interview sessions with Elizabeth to be extremely useful, not only in helping me glean a stronger appreciation of what interviewers want to see and hear, and how to approach the interview, but fundamentally giving me greater confidence in myself. I had graduated with a strong degree and masters but was falling at the final hurdle, at both assessment centres and interviews. I had just got down to the final 2 out of 70 for a job I desperately wanted, being pipped at the post at this last stage. I got in touch with Elizabeth on the advice of a family friend who was in a similar position and who was benefiting from Elizabeth’s consultation. Elizabeth was understanding, empathetic and quick to change my mindset, and give me clarity not only on where I was going wrong, but where I was going right. She emphasised my strengths and “likeableness”, which really improved the confidence and self-esteem going to an interview. She provided key information on my body language, tone and structure of my answers.
Her approach is passionate, enthusiastic and tailored to the individual, there is nothing generic about her sessions, she puts effort into each one and takes the time to prepare before. I secured a job towards the end of the summer – the first interview I went to following Elizabeth’s coaching. I had three sessions of Skype coaching, which were all really helpful. I would thoroughly recommend her services, and will keep in touch. Thanks again
Tom thank you. I’m glad it made the difference and that you are enjoying your more challenging role. Keep in touch.
