Featured Success Stories
“So, I needed help with preparing for an interview as I’d lost my self confidence following several failed attempts. I was anxious about choosing Job Interviewology as I’d used online coaching websites in the past and for me nothing seemed to work. But, when I signed up with Job Interviewology. The support my coach provided was above and beyond anything I’d previously received from a career coaching expert.
After the interview coaching consultation, I found the whole process stress free due to my coach’s input and professionalism and in the end was very pleased with the outcome which was far more than I’d hoped for. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d gone from bottom to top as, initially, when questioned I struggled to find the words to explain my reasons for applying for the job, yet during my interview I talked passionately.
The results were fantastic as not only did I get my ideal job but it was with a multi award winning organisation in the housing industry.
What I particularly liked about the service is that my coach took the time to explain the options to me in a way that I could understand but it wasn’t just about the new knowledge. The main benefits came from doing competency based tasks, receiving honest feedback and interacting over an intensive three days prior to my interview.
I would recommend the service to anyone who has a job related/career problem they can’t solve. I can’t thank Job Interviewology enough for helping me to rediscover my voice for which I’m eternally grateful.”
Caroline – Housing Scheme Manager (UK)
“I was really impressed with Job Interviewology, I needed quite a bit of guidance as I had sat a few civil service interviews and not been very successful and I really got that fed up with failing i thought I would give it one more go and got in touch with Job Interviewology. My coach was brilliant we booked in the coaching sessions and we always went over the scheduled time that was allocated and he did everything i needed to prepare me for my interview. I successfully passed my interview and I cannot thank Job Interviewology enough.”
