    “Martine was a tremendous help to me during a time of unemployment and job hunting. She gave valuable guidance towards everything from my CV and confidence building, to interview prep. She gave useful feedback and guided me through how to express my skills and experience during interviews and have a more strategic approach designed for success. After being unemployed for some time, I felt I needed support and advice from a professional to ace my interviews and stand out in a competitive job market. It was evident that she has great experience as an interviewer herself and is very competent in tailoring her feedback and approaches to each individual. I was able to secure multiple job offers after spending some time working with her. I would recommend Martine to anyone seeking support and mentoring to boost their professional career. ”

    “Martine is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She helped me prepare for a presentation for an interview at a time when I had lost my confidence after being made redundant and struggling to secure a new job. Martine assisted me with interview preparation, suggested amendments to my presentation, and provided valuable tips on boosting my confidence in both my presentation and my mindset. Taking Martine’s feedback to heart, I revised my presentation and practiced it several times until I felt more assured. To my delight, I was offered the job.”

She also ensured my unique personality shone through, making my CV engaging for prospective employers. Thanks to her expertise, I now have a clear and impactful record of my skills and accomplishments. I cannot thank her enough!

10 benefits of using an Interview Coach

1. Practice Makes Perfect

A mock interview gives you the chance to practice and refine your skills, ironing out any weaknesses before the real thing. You wouldn’t run a marathon without training, and yet many executives—who haven’t been in a formal interview for years—find themselves unprepared. Coaching is an efficient way to focus on the changes needed to create the right impression.

2. See Yourself Through the Employer’s Eyes

One of the most powerful aspects of interview coaching is the ability to see yourself as an employer would.

3. Pinpoint Weaknesses and Address Them

An experienced interview coach can quickly identify your areas of weakness and help you address them. Whether it’s overcoming gaps in your experience or fielding challenging questions, coaching ensures you’re equipped to handle every scenario confidently.

4. Rediscover Your Strengths

It’s easy to overlook your own accomplishments after years in the same role. Coaching helps you recognize and articulate your unique strengths, ensuring you present the value you bring to potential employers with clarity and confidence.

5. Think Like the Interviewer

Coaching helps you understand what the interviewer is looking for, enabling you to tailor your answers to their perspective. You’ll learn to think like a buyer, not just a seller, making your responses more relevant and persuasive.

6. Master Competency-Based Questions

Competency-based or behavioural questions are increasingly common in interviews. Coaching guides you in understanding what these questions seek and how to structure your answers effectively, showcasing your skills and experience in a compelling way.

7. Choose Your Words Wisely

In interviews, every word counts. Coaching teaches you how to communicate succinctly and impactfully, using powerful verbs to project confidence and authority, leaving a lasting impression.

8. Learn Through Experience

While books on interview techniques can be helpful, the best way to improve is through real practice. Mock interviews allow you to learn from your mistakes in a constructive environment, building the skills needed for success.

9. Enhance Your Body Language

Non-verbal communication plays a significant role in how you are perceived during an interview. Coaching helps you refine your body language to convey confidence, professionalism, and approachability.

10. Build Unshakable Confidence

Confidence is the foundation of interview success. Coaching helps you project trust in your abilities, making it easier for interviewers to believe in you—and to offer you the position.
