“I felt that I could be myself.”

The weeks before the interview

Before working with Chris, I was feeling extremely anxious and lacked confidence in my ability to perform well in the interview. English is not my first language, and the seniority of the position made the whole experience feel even more intimidating.

I was constantly doubting myself…

Why she got in touch

This interview was incredibly important to me, and I wanted to give myself the best possible chance of success. I knew how much this opportunity meant for my career, and I didn't want to leave anything to chance.

I was determined to do everything I could to prepare thoroughly, build my confidence, and walk into the interview knowing I had given it my absolute best shot. That's why I decided to reach out to CareerMate.

What made the biggest difference

The biggest difference was learning how to structure my answers effectively and communicate my experience and skills with confidence. Chris helped me prepare for the questions I was likely to face, and we practised my responses repeatedly until I felt comfortable and confident delivering them.

Being able to rehearse my answers with him, receive constructive feedback and refine them each time was incredibly valuable.

Compared with her last interview

Compared to my previous interview, this one felt completely different. I felt much stronger, more confident and capable of expressing myself clearly.

Rather than being overwhelmed by anxiety, I was able to focus on showing who I truly am, highlighting my experience, and communicating how passionate and committed I am to my work.

I felt that I could be myself.
