Featured Success Stories
“I had a few mock interview sessions with Farhan for my competency-based interview, and it was absolutely worth it.
Farhan ran the mock interviews in a structured manner by quickly identifying my strengths and weaknesses from the first session. He provided very useful feedback on my presentation and taught me strategies to handle tough competency-based questions which was exactly what I needed. More importantly I learned how to manage stress during the interview, which helped me perform better with confidence.
I passed! The preparation journey with Farhan’s support was not only beneficial for that interview but also improved my presentation and interview skills in general. It was a valuable experience.“
Jessica – Financial Services Professional (UK)
“After applying to many jobs and landing interviews without any offers I decided to seek a coach to improve my interview technique and reached out to Farhan at Job Interviewology. Farhan was instrumental in showing me various frameworks enabling me to structure my answers. His examples illustrated the difference between ‘ok answers’ and ‘excellent answers’, resulting in increased confidence which reduced my interview anxiety.
Farhan was also very understanding of my situation (I have two young children) and worked around me by being available on weekends. Where I had applied directly with a company Farhan gave me the tools to determine which competency questions would arise by reviewing the job spec and company values, this really helped me to stay focused on key areas. I am pleased to say that I have now accepted a job offer, after searching and applying for over 6 months. I cannot recommend Farhan enough! Thank you Farhan for your guidance and support throughout my journey!”
