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 !!!!
After a particularly brutal (and unsuccessful) interview, I contacted Elizabeth for some much needed help. Her help and advice made such a difference to my approach to both interviews and job hunting in general and boosted my confidence a great deal.
I’m delighted to say that I was successful at an interview that I had a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t have got to this stage without Elizabeth’s support and advice. It meant I could approach interviews without so much of the fear and dread I had before, as I knew I had prepared properly.
Thank you Elizabeth!
You’re very welcome Paul. It’s been great to help you return to your initial career and it will be interesting to catch up with you later to find out how the role has changed whilst you’ve been teaching. Keep in touch.
I attended a one on one coaching session with Elizabeth to address a confidence knock back following an unsuccessful final round interview. I found her manner to be extremely approachable and supportive, whilst offering all the key insights and professional advice I needed to secure my next role… which I did! I came away from our session feeling extremely confident and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to work on pre interview nerves.
Hi Edward, you were doing absolutely fine. You interviewed well naturally and just needed that confidence boost to win the interview. Thank you.
After a run of bad job interviews, I had a Skype session and then a 1-2-1 with Elizabeth. I cannot speak highly enough of her training. She was always patient and constructive in her comments and led me to look at the interview questions in a totally different way. I aced my next job interview and now I’m working in my dream job! I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking to improve their interviewing skills.
Thanks Tom. I’m really pleased I was able to help. Enjoy the job!
I started my coaching with Elizabeth at a low point in my career – coming out of a redundancy after a major industry shake-up and several close-call rejections after final stage job interviews.
Working with Elizabeth marked a major turnaround in terms of my confidence and delivery at interviews. Within two months, I got 4 job offers from major global financial services firms and a big 4 company
Hi Ernie, you did it all yourself. I just boosted your confidence along the way. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you so much Elizabeth for all your help! I had so many interviews and I just wasn’t getting offered a job and it really ruined my confidence so after a while I knew I had to do something about it.
I found Elizabeth online and booked a Skype session in with her. A few days later I had an interview I was much less nervous and I was successful in getting through to the second stage and I have now been offered the role! I believe Elizabeth has massively helped me re gain my confidence and had a massive impact on me getting this role I am so happy with her services and I would definitely recommend her to others!
If you are struggling then get in touch with Elizabeth she will 100% help you!
Thank you again 🙂
Ella, thank you. You really had just lost your confidence and just needed a little help to focus back on your own strengths and skills. I’m sure you going to love the change and new challenges it will brings.
The interview coaching helped calm my nerves and I was able to use the right body language to better express myself. I did not have to go to multiple interviews before securing my current role. Thank you Elizabeth, keep up the good work.
Michael, you had all the skills and experience and just needed a touch more confidence. Enjoy the new role.
After nearly 24 years in policing my head was turned by a job advertisement in my local newspaper. I sought Elizabeth out after being invited for interview for a position I dared to believe could be mine. I was looking for someone who could advise me on what to expect in the interview and help me prepare for the interview which included making a presentation. I had a skype session followed up later with a face to face session in her London office. Elizabeth is incredibly good at what she does. I liked her instantly. She brought the best out in me. I went to the interview knowing I had done all I could to give myself the best chance of success. Well it paid off and I was offered the position! With Elizabeth’s help, I have made it from the beat to the board room.
Thank-you Elizabeth!
Sam, you made my day! I’m so pleased that I was able to help you achieve your ambitions. Onward and upwards. What’s next?
Just a couple of sessions with Elizabeth in December made a real difference with son James, who graduated last summer (’14). Her advice on interview technique and more broadly on how to round out his experience stood him in good stead and he got the next thing he went for. Starts Jan 19th as a trainee with study support. So, thank you Elizabeth. You offer a happy combination of specialist stuff like explaining how interviews are scored together with commonsense advice that students won’t always listen to from their parents.
You are very welcome Eamonn and I’m delighted James will be progressing his career and I know he’ll do well in accountancy. I wish my own son at University would listen to me so easily!
I would recommend working with Liz when you are preparing for a new job. My sessions with Liz helped to calm my nerves and to restore my confidence. I was changing careers and she helped me to identify the transferable skills that would be most useful to my future employer. I sent her the job description and my CV from which she prepared questions for us to go through. Several of the questions that we practiced actually came up in my interview.
What I liked most about Liz is the tailored sessions. Need I say, I got the job and Liz has been there giving me advise (free of charge) as I navigated through the stormy waters of a career change.
Thank you Linda. Your enthusiasm for changing career and becoming an Actuarial analyst was so contagious, they couldn’t refuse you! You’ll be great at it. Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.
For anyone looking for an interview coach I would have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth who has recently successfully helped my son . He found his discussions with her incredibly helpful and constructive and she was also very accomodating given the tight time scales. From a personal point of view it also made the whole process much less stressful for me!, knowing he was in safe hands.
Thanks Jo. It’s great to hear from a parent too. It’s a shame I can’t always get my own 18 year old to listen to me!
