Dear Drew,

I wanted to express my appreciation for the interview training. My success in landing the job was in big part due to the advice and preparation we did. Many of the questions we discussed were asked and your advice regarding the presentation was spot on. The training gave me a lot of confidence heading into the interview as I knew I was well prepared. Thank you once again!

Dear Jackie,

I came to see you for interview training a few months ago now, and just wanted to let you know how helpful it has been. In the last couple of weeks I have been for 3 interviews and have succeeded in each. I am much more confident when being interviewed, and this must have come across. I can't thank you enough. I have taken a job and am very excited to start. I would never have had the confidence even to organise an interview without your help. Also, I wanted to thank you for getting my resume in order. Both employers were impressed with the way it was written. We both know I can't take all of the credit! Thanks again.

Dear Catriona,

Success! I got a job offer at the end of the interview and contract in hand! A huge thank you for making time to see me at such short notice. It really helped me to get an honest reflection on a number of the 'typical answers' I had been giving. After 4 months of interviewing - this by far was the only role that I wanted - and you helped me nail it - thank you again! Questions were as you forecasted.

Hi Helen,

I got the job! The interview questions you had pre-prepared for me were spot on. I had this amazing boost of confidence because I knew that I was able to answer, quite concisely, all of their questions. Thanks to you I now have a very different future.

Karen,

I just heard back from company X and they said my interview was great. I'd just like to thank you for all your help. Thanks again!

Hi Leah,

Great news, I received a tentative offer from company X. The offer is subject to medical and qualification checks, which are sort of a formality process. I would like to express my thanks for all your help to prepare for the interview.

Hi Sarah,

I have some good news...I got the job! Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to help me prepare for the interview as I do believe it helped me going into the interview the next day. Overall I am very satisfied with the outcome of the interview. Thank you once again.

Dear Jackie,

I just wanted to let you know that I have been offered the position at the university, so the drought has broken! I am quite sure that this session assisted in this outcome; it helped me to gain perspective on a few things, boosted my confidence a good deal and provided me with some additional interview strategies. I felt quite different at the interview - relaxed, positive and more confident in my abilities. So thank you for your guidance and expertise.

Hi Helen,

I wanted to let you know that I was successful with my recent interview and have been given the promotion I sought. In my feedback I was told that my interview was solid and well-presented and that they saw a vast improvement from the last time I applied, so thank you for your time and your assistance. It helped enormously!

Hi Drew,

Just thought I'd let you know that Heidi got a placement into Medicine in Newcastle (Joint Medical Program). That was her first choice so she is rapt. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Katie,

I am so happy to inform you that my dream was fulfilled, after getting an offer of employment in the WA Public Sector. I would like to thank Kendal for the information she provided in the sessions and also in helping to build my confidence while facing the interview panel. Once again my sincere thanks to Kendal.

Hi Catriona,

I did your interview coaching in April and I applied for a job at Company X. I'm just emailing to let you know that I got the job and I start in August! Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Katie,

Recently, I had the pleasure of getting interview coaching and advice from Leah Lambart. My experience has been extremely positive and hence I thought of sharing feedback about Leah. I believe that Leah was professional and sincere throughout the entire process. She was able to quickly and smartly ascertain my personality then cater to and advise on how to structure my answers. This went a long way towards doing very well during my interview today. She was able to understand my requirements and then went about fulfilling them with ease. I would recommend her to others in need of interview coaching for sure. Thanks Leah!

“I found Jackie's interview training session very valuable. Her advice and tips made a lot of sense and I made sure I used them for my next interview. I was well prepared for my next interview and felt confident in answering the interviewer's questions. The preparation that I did prior to the interview really paid off and I was offered the position the same day.”

Hi Kendal,

I just got offered the job at company X. Thank you SO MUCH. 15 (or so) unsuccessful job interviews and then the first one after my session with you is successful. I have recommended you to a colleague.

"Upon making it to the interview round for an undergraduate cadet program with no prior corporate interview experience, I worked with Drew to seek advice and coaching. The session was both warm and extremely valuable as Drew was able to give me plenty of advice ranging from presentation to structuring my answers, so that I stood out as a qualified candidate. Recently I have been notified of my success for this position, and I give great thanks to Drew in helping me open up this wonderful opportunity."

Hi Catriona,

Having professional interview coaching made all the difference. It gave me confidence to go into a lot of detail about what I had achieved and I knew that the way I was structuring my responses was going to be effective. Projecting myself into the job was very powerful. Smiling faces and nodding heads...very affirming. Thanks.

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for today’s interview training session. I learnt a lot and I took a huge amount of information and knowledge away from it that I’m definitely going to put into practice.

Dear Drew,

Thank you so much for your help with interviewing and my resume. Today, I had an interview for the job I really wanted. I don't know that I'll get it but I certainly got through the door with your resume advice. I did all that you recommended and I asked your fantastic question at the end. So, win, lose or draw, I felt really good about my application and interview. Thank you for your excellent advice - it was worth every penny.

Hi Jackie,

I want to say a very big thank you for the patience and kindness you showed me during our interview coaching sessions. Both the sessions I attended with you have enabled me to re-gain some of the confidence in myself I seemed to have lost somewhere! My application writing is now professional, succinct and sells my strengths. I also know now what to focus on in an interview and how to get the best out of that small moment of time I have when being grilled by a panel. The investment I made coming to see you was well worth it.

Hi Drew,

The 1.5hrs spent with you yesterday was excellent. I am talking so much more confidently in everything that I am doing. I spent last night listening to the voice recordings and I can hear that my responses were not confident enough when I started with you, yet they improved as the session went on. More work from my part leading up to interviews will make an enormous difference.

Hi Sarah,

Thanks so much for all your information, and the positive vibes - they must have been really strong because I got a job! It was so useful having your advice. I was very prepared for everything - technical and management related. Thanks again.

Hi Drew,

Huge thanks, I actually got a job a week after our training. I performed well at both on-phone and office. I was much more relaxed and could express my thoughts much more clearly verbally. Plus the preparation tips helped as well. Thank you, will definitely recommend you to my friends.

Hi Karen

I really appreciated your help with interview skills coaching. The WHOLE session was helpful, but particularly practising answers to the sample interview questions, focusing on my choice of words, and how to positively communicate my strengths and experience in a way that feels natural and in alignment with my values and personal style. Before the session, I was feeling anxious and ill-equipped; after, I felt confident and equipped. You were brilliant, best investment of $395 I have ever made! Thanks again.

Hi Kendal

I found our meeting very useful. Thank you! I knew I was missing something in my interviews. You’ve helped me to look at ways that I’ve engaged with stakeholders and then used my contacts to achieve outcomes. And as you’ve said I’ve got hundreds of examples and lots of stories but I need to keep them relevant to this position and I’ve definitely got an idea of how to do that now. I’ve got a lot of preparation to do, a lot of practise and then I’ve got to deliver. I’ve got this!!! I’ll let you know how it all goes. Thank you again.

Dear Katie,

I got the job offer after having my interview training with Diana. I am an immigrant from Hong Kong and this is my first job interview in Australia. The training was so practical and informative. It really helped me to prepare for my interview, especially those STAR interview questions for a job in the public services organisation. Diana provided me with professional advice on my specific needs. She was so patience with me and explain to me all the questions I had. She made me feel authentically supported.

Dear Drew,

I would like to thank you so much for your time and feedback last week. It was a great pleasure meeting you and you have given me the right confidence at the right time. The interview went well last Friday. I managed to hold all my nerves and performed my best. Even more good news, I was a preferred candidate and got a job offer. I couldn’t thank you enough.

Hi Katie,

I met with Diana in Vermont on Thursday for interview training. Diana was very welcoming, and conducted the training in a professional yet comforting environment. I learnt many new interviewing skills, and received a good refresher on others. In summary – a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it.

Hi Katie,

I hope this email finds you well. A little overdue but I wanted to let you know I ended up scoring a government communications role with Company X. I had interview training skills with Julie Knox, which was incredibly helpful, and ultimately probably got me over the line. I appreciate all the help received from your company. All my best, and thanks again!

"The moment I met Jackie I felt at ease and confident that she would be able to help me. Interviews are my Achilles heel and now I understand that what is required is confidence and faith in yourself and lots of practise. We went through a long set of potential questions and Jackie's feedback and reframing of the answer gave me a lot of insight into what is needed to succeed in an interview. Thank you so much Jackie, I have already recommended you to my contacts."

"Diana really goes above and beyond to draw on your experiences, and forms them in the best way to sell you as a candidate. Even if you don’t get anxious and were comfortable with speaking to interviewers like me, I couldn’t recommend her service more!"

"I recently engaged Judith for support with interview coaching. Judith was a pleasure to work with, creating a supportive environment where ideas and concepts could be workshopped which enabled me to confidently demonstrate my experience and abilities in a competitive recruitment round. Judith provides constructive and respectful advice that empowers people to demonstrate their skills and capabilities, and ultimately reach their goals. Many thanks Judith!"
