Benefits of Interview Coaching

My Clients' Feedback

"I approached Matt for some coaching with regards to improving my CV so that I can start making applications for a role as an associate lawyer. I feel that Matt’s services are unique as he has thought through every element of a CV and each element’s practical purpose for a reader and he imparts that understanding generously.

The process has enabled me to discover that I have plenty of achievements to talk about. It was interesting to develop the understanding that it is important to be guided by the purpose of my CV.

We worked together to focus on marketing my experience and skills so that they are impactful and highlight my achievements as opposed to just writing out a description of my work without tangible evidence like I had done on my previous CV.

Matt’s patient, professional and methodical approach enabled me to produce a CV with much more value and I would highly recommend his services.”

MORE CLIENT FEEDBACK

"After many years to getting through the initial stages of assessment for training contracts, but always failing at the point of interview, Matt's interview tips, the mock interview and detailed feedback on the mock interview allowed me to realise my weak points.

His advice was very constructive, helped me see how I had been approaching interview preparation in the wrong manner, and provided me with the confidence that I had been lacking in interviews.

I am highly appreciative of Matt's advice and support throughout the process in helping me succeed in interview, and secure my training contract."

- J, Manchester

"In three words, Matt is fantastic. I came to Matt to help prepare for several first and second round TC interviews with top notch City firms, (both in-person and over the phone). Logistically, Matt was excellent. He found a way to fit me in very last minute and deliver great and exceptionally personalised feedback. He also sent over helpful prep documents, granted access to a special section of his website and summarised some excellent info about the firms I was dealing with. Our Skype/phone sessions were very easy and simple, something that I was concerned about, since we were not able to meet face-to-face. Beyond these basics, Matt also went above and beyond to help, always spending more time to ensure I was satisfied with my answer approach and confident with what I was presenting before hanging up.

It was immediately evident that Matt knew the TC interview and application market like the back of his hand and could provide the TC-specific advice that general interview prep coaches could only scratch the surface of. What I really liked was the personal attention he took to my specific applications and to my specific background, I never felt like he was pushing me into a cookie-cutter answer model, rather his advice always pushed me to develop my answers in a way that captured the most salient and critical bits of my experience and background. This allowed me to focus my answers and deliver excellent responses, tailored to TC's, law as a career, and particular firms. His mock interview sessions were fantastic and extremely helpful content wise, but also in terms of helping me get used to the interview environment and hostile questions... he never went easy on me! Matt gave me the confidence I needed to approach the interviews positively and I would highly recommend him, he turned my interview style and approach around! Matt also helped me choose between the firms I received offers from, which was excellent. All in all, it was a fantastic and well-rounded service!"

- D.A., London

"At short notice and only several days before my training contract interview, Matt offered guidance on assessment day preparation. Knowing the firm I was applying for he conducted the mock interview with the types of questions I was likely to receive and offered tailored feedback on each aspect. The one-to-one coaching was vital to gaining specific feedback on my performance and I was impressed with Matt's ability to develop the strongest parts of my delivery. The coaching was key in giving me the confidence and preparation to perform well at interview and, ultimately, receive an offer of a training contract with a top 25 UK law firm."

- Freddie, Brighton

"To be honest I was struggling to prepare answers that weren't completely generic to the basic questions "why this firm?, "why do you want to be a lawyer?". Speaking to Matt showed me how bad my 'prepared' answers actually were! I then panicked! But Matt led a conversation into my current job etc and pinpointed areas I seemed enthusiastic and confident speaking about. Amongst hundreds of other useful tips this helped me focus on my personal motivations. The end result was a training contract at a brilliant firm. "

- Jem, London

"The coaching made me realise how in previous interviews my answers had only touched the surface of a question. I was able to prepare much more effectively after the detailed feedback and the mock interview was so similar (both in terms of competency and market / commercial awareness questions) to what the firm gave I was more relaxed as they were asking the questions. I'm confident the session helped me secure my training contract."

- Amy, London

"With Matt's help, I was fortunate enough to secure a training contract at [XXXX (leading City Firm)]. Matt provided extremely useful and tailored information on what to expect from the case study interview. My understanding of how commercial law firms operate and how to present my ideas effectively improved as a result. I would highly recommend Matt for any type of interview training, as he perfectly tailors his advice to the firm and industry in question."

- Omid, London

"Matt then gave me invaluable practical guidance on how to succeed on the vacation scheme. Through his comprehensive research he knew which particular competencies the firm was looking for and gave me practical tips on how to display these specific attributes. By the time I got into the training contract interview at the end of the scheme I was feeling composed and confident. I am glad to say that I succeeded and have now been offered a training contract. I have no doubt that Matt’s assistance gave me the edge I needed."

- Jahan, London

"Much to my surprise, last Monday I received an offer of a training contract with [xxxxxx]! Thanks so much for the interview coaching session, the role you played in my preparation was completely invaluable."

- Anna, Sheffield

"My experience with Matt has been very positive. He is very personable and professional and will tailor his advice to your personal situation. I have found his advice on how to prepare for competency interviews particularly useful and believe it to have been material in securing a training contract with a leading City firm.

- Jade, Nottingham

"Matt is a really friendly and knowledgeable person. His advice on interview technique was both informative and most importantly, personalised. I firmly believe his help was essential in helping me land a training contract with a top firm."

- Rob, London

How Can Interview Coaching Make A Difference?

Amy from London had previously been unsuccessful at interviews and was struggling to know why, despite being given feedback by firms. She had this to say about her interview coaching experience:

The coaching made me realise how in previous interviews my answers had only touched the surface of a question. I was able to prepare much more effectively after the detailed feedback and the mock interview was so similar (both in terms of competency and market / commercial awareness questions) to what the firm gave I was more relaxed as they were asking the questions. I’m confident the session helped me secure my tc.”

How Is The Interview Coaching Delivered?

All interview coaching is conducted one to one by me personally via telephone or Skype call so I can work with you wherever you are in the world.

In my preparation for our coaching, I conduct a full review of your application and conduct my own research into the firm.

During the coaching I will advise you how to effectively tailor your approach specifically to that firm, how to impress the recruiters and how to avoid common mistakes which will lead to a rejection.

You will also receive supplementary know how materials, advice and tips to help you prepare, including various assessment centre practice tests and exercises (if relevant).

There is also the option for a practice mock interview in order to practice answering training contract interview questions, receive a review of your interview performance and to make invaluable improvements.
