Interview coaching

I found Judith online and booked her to do interview coaching with my son who was about to graduate from the University of Surrey. He had a brilliant academic record and was easily getting interviews with top firms, but despite many attempts couldn’t secure a job offer. The main problem was issues with his communication. Judith made a huge difference to both his communication and his confidence and after a couple of sessions with her he attended two more interviews and was offered both jobs. I would highly recommend Judith – she is worth every penny.

Interview nerves

I am so glad that I used Judith’s services and I have recommended her to several of my friends. I was made redundant two years ago and since then I have struggled with getting jobs. I had no problem getting interviews but when it came to the interview I found that I became nervous and this affected my communication and performance which was frustrating for me. Judith took the time to come up with lots of possible questions and coached me through some cracking answers that meant that I could really get my message across about my experience, knowledge and abilities for the role. This increased my confidence and helped with my nerves. I have just been offered a job and I am ecstatic! I know that I couldn’t have done it without Judith’s support. So in terms of investment, if you are hesitating and thinking ‘am I worth it’? the answer is ‘yes, you are’ – go for it!

 Unsuccessful interviews but great at my job

After several unsuccessful interviews when I knew I’d been right for the job, I had a coaching session with Judith. This showed where I’d been going wrong. I put her feedback into action and got an offer at the very next interview. Her help undoubtedly was the difference. I then phoned her to get support on negotiating the salary, which was a little lower than I’d hoped. I used her techniques and secured a £20k increase. I would definitely say that paying for external help is worth the money.

Help with CV and application

I got help from Judith with my CV and job application and got an interview straightaway. Only a week or so later and I’m in the process of reading through the contract before signing to accept the job. Judith was recommended to me and I’m very pleased she was.

Zoe, Surrey

Lost confidence with interviews

The coaching session with Judith was really helpful. Getting honest feedback meant I knew why I had been missing out before and where I could improve. She helped me prepare strong answers ready for my next interview. She built my confidence and helped me to believe in myself again.  I got the job.

Andrea, London

Job search

I would really recommend Judith for help with job search.  She helped me put together a CV to apply for a job and I got an interview.  She then coached me to prepare for the interview and I performed well and got the job offer!  It was definitely worth getting her support.

Caroline, Hampshire

Skype interview coaching

I chatted with Judith on Skype to get a feel for how she worked first, then booked a session. She helped me prepare for the sort of questions that would come up and gave me honest feedback about how I performed in the mock interview and how I could improve. I went into the real interview feeling confident and got the job. The Director said that I interviewed brilliantly and the panel couldn’t fault me in any aspect!

Kate, Worcester

 CV rewrite

I started looking for a new job with a CV I’d written myself, but surprisingly got little response. I found Judith online and asked her to review it for me. She highlighted a few concerns, rewrote it and the interviews started coming in thick and fast. It was definitely worth investing in professional support as it made such a difference.

Jemma, Cranleigh

Interview coaching in lockdown

I’ve been offered a job! I had two interviews and they offered me the more senior of the roles. Your advice was very helpful thank you – especially during lockdown when Zoom worked well for interview coaching. You gave me a much better idea of how I needed to answer questions both in applications and interviews. It’s one thing to be told ‘do this, do that’, but I’m someone who learns more experientially – I need to see it in action and then copy, and your feedback and draft answers were ideal for that.

Improved confidence

I was successful! I start next Monday. Thank you so much for all your help and advice Judith. It gave me a lot more confidence when you said I was better at interviews than I thought I was. The first question they asked was ‘tell me a bit about yourself’ and so having our pre-thought out answer meant I could answer succinctly and confidently and set me off to a great start.

Redundancy

I was facing redundancy after 9 years with the same company. I used Judith to write my CV and application letter for a new job and secured an interview. I then had coaching with her to prepare for the interview, learnt how to give really strong answers to questions and went in feeling confident. I got the job, which was on a higher salary, so the money I spent on support from Judith was a good investment. I’ve recommended her to colleagues who are also affected by the redundancies.

Ben, Guildford

 Failed interview

After applying for a job that I knew I had the relevant experience and was a very good fit for, I was very disappointed when my interview had gone terribly. Fortunately the role appeared again months later and I knew I had to up my game for the interview stage. After searching online for information, I decided to get coaching and contacted Judith due to her extensive experience. I sent Judith the information and we quickly organised a Zoom session. During the session she identified my weak points and we talked in depth about how best to demonstrate my skills & experience when answering the questions and afterwards, provided a written report with various example questions and answers to refer to. As a result of all the information provided by Judith I felt so much more confident going into the interview and ultimately nailed it – even the interviewer said at the end, how much of an improvement I had made. A few days later, I was offered the role. Thank you Judith!

Curtis, Hampshire

 Breaking into competitive sector

Judith, I just wanted to let you know that I was offered the job. I’m incredibly excited to be starting there and I can’t thank you enough for your help.  I’ve been looking for my break into this sector for the best part of a year now and it’s fantastic to have finally had success after your interview coaching.

George, London

Quick response – immeasurable help

Thank you Judith so much for getting back to me so quickly when I first reached out to you. After our mock interview and discussion of STAR answers I feel more confident to tackle the real thing. Your help has been immeasurable and I can’t thank you enough.

Katie, Surrey

 Assessment centre prep

Judith, I’m just messaging to say thank you for all the help with preparing for the assessment centre. I found out I got the position today. They said my interview was very strong which shows how much you helped me to improve.

Chris, Surrey

 Multiple job offers

Judith you have helped me so much. I’m really grateful for the coaching.  I got 3 job offers from the 4 interviews and had to choose which one to accept.  I’ll definitely be back for more interviewing coaching when I apply again in the future.

Mary, London

 Industry placement

I wanted to write to you Judith to thank you for coaching my son recently. He said it was incredibly helpful and …drum roll please… today he was offered the placement. I have no doubt a large part of his success is down to your support and guidance. Thank you so much.

Louise, Surrey

Internal move

Thank you for all your help Judith. I got the job.

From the questions you sent me, they asked three questions from that list, so I was well prepared. Also the CV was really good to get me through the paper sift. You have provided me with an excellent service. Shame I didn’t find you before when I was applying for internal jobs.

Mark, Devon

 Increased confidence

Judith I wanted to thank you for your help and professional advice – it was great. It helped me a lot, especially to be more confident, and I got this job!

Monika, London

I got the job!

I just wanted to let you know I got the job! Actually on my first day they congratulated me on doing such a good interview, so thank you so so much for helping.

It has been a really positive experience for me to understand where I was going wrong.

Holly, Edinburgh

Successful outcome

Judith – I just wanted to feed back that I was successful in obtaining the role – in fact, I started yesterday!

Thanks for your support, suggestions and instruction! You were fab.

Nancie, Devon

Change of career

I wanted to move into a different career. Judith helped me identify transferable skills from my old type of work and put together an application for a new job. I got an interview, so I went back to Judith for interview coaching. She wrote interview questions based on the job description I showed her and helped me prepare good answers to them. We then had several practice interviews, with her giving me feedback each time. I felt really prepared and confident when I went for the real interview and was delighted when I got the job.

Monica, Godalming

Returning after career break

After a ten year career break, I approached Judith for help with a couple of interviews I had coming up. She helped me to identify my skills and experience and find my voice again, which gave me much more confidence going into the interviews. I am delighted to say that with her help I was offered one of the positions within ten days. Judith’s coaching was absolutely invaluable and I am  looking forward to returning to work doing something I love!

Cathy, Woking

 Getting job offers

Judith I can’t tell you how much our session helped me. Not only have I been offered two jobs in the space of a week (where before I seemed unable to secure any offers at all), but I also feel so much more confident in my overall employability. I cannot speak highly enough of your kind guidance and your thorough approach.

Brigid, Winchester

 Offered the job!

Judith I just wanted to let you know that I had my interview today and I have been offered the job! Thank you so much for your help with the interview. It made me feel much more prepared and really got me thinking. I shall definitely recommend you to others. I really enjoyed working with you.

Helen, Hampshire

 Banging head against brick wall

After too many fruitless interviews, it seemed that text book answers don’t really help. What I wanted was a brick wall to bang my head against very hard, but what I needed was someone who could show me where I was going wrong! So I searched the Internet for one-to-one coaching: I came across Judith’s website, offering the kind of help I needed and her prices looked reasonable.  We did a session of interview coaching, she helped me with my CV, and afterwards she supplied me with strong answers to the sort of questions I’d been struggling with. Armed with this and some welcome encouragement, I got a job offer after my VERY NEXT interview. It’s close to home, the salary is good and I get to learn new skills.

Peter, Welwyn Garden City

Preparing for senior role

Thanks again for your help Judith! I’m through to the second round of the process for this very senior role and one panel member said I did a brilliant interview. Having a mock interview with honest feedback really helped by showing me where I could improve my performance.

Matt, London

 Nervous returner

I took a career break and when I came back to applying for jobs found that I had lost my confidence. The coaching with Judith helped me manage my nerves and feel ready to tackle interviews. I’ve already had one job offer and some very positive feedback from another interview which suggests another offer could be on its way. The coaching made a big difference. I would recommend Judith, she is amazing and has been so helpful, understanding and professional throughout this process.

Krish, Surrey

 Struggling with non-technical questions

Thanks a lot for the new job!  As an engineer I struggled with non-technical interview questions and I was terrified by them.  Judith helped me understand how they work and what is their purpose.  We devised strategies to handle them and we practiced together.  The results have been amazing, and it is also thanks to her that I have been able to manage an important career transition.

Morris, London

Preparing for job interviews

I’d been with the same employer for 9 years.  When the time came to move on, I felt a bit out of practice with interviews.  I went to Judith for interview coaching because I knew she had helped other people.  I had two job interviews and I did a practice interview with Judith for each one.  She seemed to know what questions I would be asked, so when I did the actual interviews it was much easier as I knew what to say and felt confident.  I definitely performed well because I was offered both jobs!  The coaching made all the difference and I have already recommended Judith to two friends.

Andrea, Guildford

 Lots of interviews, no offers

I kept getting interviews, but no offers, and was starting to feel despondent. I was thinking since English is not my first language maybe this was the reason I wasn’t being hired – even though my English is excellent. I was offered another interview for a job I really wanted, so I looked online and found Judith. I had a coaching session with her only the day before my interview, but that was enough to make a big difference. She could immediately see where I was going wrong and helped me fix it. I felt confident and well prepared for the interview the next day and was offered the job that evening. I’m so pleased I booked a session!

Alicia, Reading

 Struggling with nerves

I had interview coaching with Judith by Skype to prepare for a role I really wanted. It made a huge difference to my nerves – which were a big problem initially. I actually felt confident in the real interview and performed well. I also knew exactly what to say because all the questions we had practised came up. I’ve just been asked back to a final interview with one other candidate and hope to be offered the job.

Judith, London

 Fantastic support

Judith is so kind and supportive. She is such a delight to work with. I couldn’t decide which service to go for and changed my mind a couple of times in regards to what I wanted in the coaching session, but Judith was so flexible and helpful and managed to work around her schedule to book me in, even though my request was very last-minute! If you are still unsure whether the coaching is worth it or not, look no further and give Judith a call! She is super responsive and will always answer your questions in great details. She even emailed me the day before my interview to wish me luck, which was a very nice touch. Thanks, Judith!

Angie, Bristol

Coaching for job interviews

There was a job I really wanted and Judith was recommended to me for interview coaching. Even though she’s in the UK and I’m in Australia, we managed it by Skype. She helped me prepare for the initial interview and think about what questions I would be asked. I had another session with her to get ready for the final stage interview and have just got the job offer. The coaching definitely made a difference.

Jose, Australia

 Good investment

I’d just like to say a huge thank you Judith for your help with preparation for my recent interview. It was successful and I am due to start with them at the end of this month. I could not have done this without your assistance, which made me think about voice and answers and overall presentation. It was well worth investing in a preparation session with you.

Sarah, Guildford

 Graduate first job

When finishing up my  degree and applying for jobs, I was getting responses, but never got past the interview stages.  Then my parents introduced me to Judith and after a few sessions with her, my next two applications both offered me a role! And after my first job  didn’t work out due to personal reasons, with another session with her, my next interview offered me a job on the spot! Perfect for any recent graduates and for building confidence in interviews. Thanks heaps, Judith!

Max, London

Confidence building

After four years in the same role, I was ready for a change and started job hunting. I struggled with applying for jobs and my nerves tampered with my interview performance. Judith addressed all my concerns and gave me a strong insight into my strengths and weaknesses when interviewing. Judith tailored a mock interview for me based on the roles I was applying for and I learnt how to answer a wide variety of questions. I feel much more confident about my next interview and I have Judith to thank for that.

Annabelle, London

Multiple job offers

Judith redesigned my CV, which captured the attention of a number of leading employers, securing me interviews and job offers.  I also benefitted from the interview coaching which Judith provided.  Her professional, strategic approach helped me during the whole process.  I would certainly use her again.

Paul, Portsmouth

Building confidence for an interview

Judith was easy to talk to and quickly put my mind at ease about the interview process. She really helped to build my confidence through doing a mock interview and providing me with feedback about aspects that I did well on and those that I could improve. I would definitely recommend her.

Gemma, Addlestone

Returning from a career break

I’d taken a break from work to have a family and it had been a long time since I’d done a job application. I wasn’t sure what information to include, plus English is not my first language and I wanted to get it right. She helped me to view my achievements and tailor my CV according to the jobs I was applying for. Her advice was spot on preparing for the interviews and it gave me confidence that I was really giving myself the best chance of success with my job applications.

Eugenie, Oxford

Seeking promotion

I wanted to earn more money, but didn’t really enjoy being a manager, which seemed to be part of most jobs with better pay. Judith searched on various job sites and identified a number of jobs for me to consider. I chose two and she wrote CVs and applications for me, explaining to me why she had presented the information in the way she had. I got interviews for both jobs.

JJ, Guildford

Making my passion my career

I realised that I no longer enjoyed the type of work I had been doing for 10 years and wanted to make a career of an interest I pursued in my spare time, which I loved.  I went to Judith for help with making the move and finding a way of presenting it on a CV.  She designed a suitable CV for me and gave me advice on what sort of roles might suit me, where I could look for these and how to get the most from recruitment agencies. I’m really excited about making the move.

Ellie, Guildford

 Changing career

I would like to thank Judith for the time she spent interview coaching me. I found it really helpful, especially the notes she provides afterwards.  I’ve now got a new job which is much more in line with what I want to be doing. The coaching was invaluable. I would certainly recommend Judith to anyone seeking a new role or guidance on interviews.

Amanda, Surrey

Giving a focus to my CV

After a struggle with dyslexia, I left school and took a number of different jobs before finally going to university as a mature student and graduating with a History degree – which was an amazing achievement. Judith helped me to streamline my CV and give it a focus, as it was quite varied and did not point towards any one particular type of career. She wrote my first application for me and I got an interview straight away!

Alastair, Guildford

First job after graduating

As a recent graduate applying for highly competitive training contracts in the City, I felt it was worth investing in some interview coaching to get prepared for an assessment day. I spent 2 hours with Judith and we went through a thorough process of a mock interview tailored to a specific interview I had coming up, followed by feedback on how I came across and discussion of how I could make some of my answers stronger. She provided a stack of useful notes and felt more confident in the actual interview as a result.

James, Horsley

Interview coaching for confidence

I would like to say a big thank you to Judith for taking the time to help me gain confidence and fluidity in interviews. The coaching was hugely beneficial. Following the preparation session I went through a very competitive assessment process for the job I wanted, including 3 interviews, before being offered the role which I gladly accepted.

Anthony, Woking

Interview coaching for law training contract

Thank you so much Judith for your interview help last week. The material you gave me was very useful and I went into the interview feeling much more prepared and confident. I am very pleased to let you know that I have been offered a training contract with one of my first choice firms! I am absolutely delighted with this offer. The feedback I received was all positive. They commented on how I answered their questions with confidence and accuracy, which was definitely helped by practicing with you and the answers you sent me.

Ruby, Surrey

 Preparing for competency based interview

I had a session with Judith to prepare for an interview. I particularly wanted guidance on how to respond well to competency based questions. We went through a list of questions and she helped me devise strong answers to each one. I then felt more confident about what to say in the interview. I was offered the job shortly afterwards so it was well worth spending the time with Judith.
