Featured Success Stories

“I have worked for the NHS for many years, and contacted Job Interviewology following a series of failed NHS interviews. I used to be good at interviews, and didn’t understand what I was doing wrong now. My coach was friendly, approachable and a good listener, and he seems genuinely invested in helping people to reach their work goals. He explained in a very kind and supportive way where he thought I was going wrong and what I could do about it. The online course was also accessible, helpful and informative. I prepared for my next interview following the advice, and I got the job!”

Maggie – Programme Manager (UK)

“After over 10 interviews over recent years … I was no longer telling anyone I was going for an interview as I was now embarrassed to go back and say I didn’t get the job…again. I gave up for a while – but the feeling that I could do the job would not go away – eventually I decided to give it another go, but this time I would pay for a coach. my coach was amazing! He met with me to go through potential interview questions and a mock interview even though it was during a holiday and he had a cold at one point. With each session I got better and better. I had to put in a lot of hours of preparation. I am pleased to say I have now been offered a Band 8A from Band 6 role in the NHS. I thank God for this answer to prayer but also my coach for his hard work and dedication. The moral of the story is never give up and hire Job Interviewology”
