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 !!!!
Cannot recommend working with Chista enough!!! We had two sessions that were both recorded so I could review them and myself and not did have to stress taking notes. Even though it feels weird seeing yourself when continuing to prep this was of tremendous help.
Moreover, I was blown away at how spontabeous and quick the set-up was – which combined with the invaluable adivice and countless questions we prepped really helped ease my nerves and improve my confidence. I went into the interview process feeling confident and well prepped and couldn´t be happier because i have gotten into my dream uni. Highly recommed working with Chista (such a kind and pleasant person) and am super super thankful.
Wow, what a kind review, thank you so much Luisa, and I really enjoyed working with you in preparation for your interview. It was so interesting to hear about the experiences you’ve already had in the world of fashion and beyond, and now that you’ve secured a place to study at a top university in Paris, the world’s your oyster! I have no doubt that you will thrive there and that this is the start of a stellar career. I wish you every happiness and success – please do keep in touch.
I would highly recommend Matthew and his team, to anyone interested in applying for a job with the Civil Service. Both my friend and I have used Interview Skills Clinic and we both secured our dream jobs. The Civil Service interview is very difficult and a challenging process but with help, I was more than equipped to deal with their questions. Following my sessions, I felt more prepared for the ‘real interview’ and understood the importance of structuring potential examples to fit their questions. I also noticed after my practice interviews that I did not feel as overwhelmed and I was more confident which is priceless. I cannot thank you enough.
Thanks A.H. It was good working with you, such energy and passion for your job which is an extremely important factor at an interview. Once you mastered the approach to answering Civil Service questions it was clear that any board would see just how valuable you would be on their team. All the very best and please stay in touch. Matt
I had two sessions with Chista which were super helpful. She really helped me to focus on questions and my responses, going through many ways that questions may be structured so I could be well prepared. I found the sessions and advice from Chista absolutely invaluable and has resulted in me being offered a job.
Chista went over and above our two sessions by offering me additional support and advice in between, which I really appreciated and made me feel really valued as a client.
I can highly recommend Chista. A very big thank you from me.
Thank you for the kind review Grainne, and it was a real pleasure to work with you. I was confident that you’d be successful, given both your wealth of experience and easy rapport, which I knew would come across at interview. Lots of good luck with the new role – your new colleagues are lucky to have you! All best wishes for the future, Chista
Elizabeth helped me to prep for my interviews and overcome certain blocks that were preventing my success. Needless to say, after only a couple sessions, I ended up with my dream job. I recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs to sharpen their interviewing skills, especially for academic positions.

Thanks Marco, it was a pleasure working together. You had fantastic experience for the role and just needed a boost in confidence.
Jane was very well structured and guided me well. She focused on the key points I had to highlight during interviews and rehearsed with me until the story was right. Thanks again and pleased that I found a new job after being well prepared by the team.
Hi, thanks Sonia, it was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you every success in your new role.
I had two coaching sessions with Christa who helped me to prepare for an interview that was a step up in my career. Christa ran through many questions with me which helped me prepare a bank of answers and scenarios for a range of questions. She gave me helpful tips on how to structure my answers and highlight my skills. During the interview I felt well prepared, had structured examples I could use for each question to demonstrate my experience and knowledge. I am delighted to say that I got the job and I am sure coaching made a real difference to how I performed in the interview! Thank you very much!
What a kind review, thank you Kristina, and it was such a pleasure working with you. With all your knowledge, experience, motivation, and strong examples to demonstrate your skills, there was little doubt in my mind that you’d be successful at interview – the NHS is lucky to have you! I wish you every success in your challenging new role, and hope to work together again in the future. Best wishes, Chista
I had a great session with Matt ahead of a recent promotion interview. He supported me to clarify my pitch for the role, develop compelling answers to key questions and increase my confidence going into the interview. This was invaluable in enabling me to deliver a strong performance on the day and ultimately land the role. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks Chris, it was good to work with you again and I am very pleased that you secured this substantive role. Please keep in touch and all the very best for this next stage in your career. Matt
I had a few coaching sessions with Chista where we ran through numerous example questions and techniques which allowed me to really make the most out of my interviews; she was an immense help!
Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review Luis – many congratulations again on getting an offer to study medicine from a prestigious London medical school! The practical work experience gained during your gap year has really paid off, and I’ve very much enjoyed working with you improve your interview technique. Please do keep me posted on the outcome of the remainder of your applications, and I hope that you enjoy the exciting and challenging years ahead! Best wishes, Chista
Chista really helped me with my university interviews. She prepared me well for all sorts of questions, despite my university course having some niche topics. I could tell she was prepared to be fully involved and had even done some extra research in order to fully understand what I needed to know.
Thanks a lot 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Tasha, and I was so pleased to hear of your offer from a top Russell Group university, well done! You’re clearly very passionate about your niche chosen field, and you demonstrated this really well during our sessions. I have no doubt that you have a bright future ahead of you, and wish you every success at university and beyond. All the best, Chista
I really enjoyed working with Matt, he gave me insights I simply wouldn’t have thought about if it wasn’t for him. He helped me with my interview preparations and definitely pushed and challenged me to make sure I was 100% prepared. I was able to get the offer I wanted and I am so grateful. Many Thanks
Great news Dami. I’m really pleased that the coaching helped and that your preparation and practice paid off. I hope the new role goes well and please keep in touch. Matt
