Interview coaching with me is a one-to-one session built around your specific interview. We research the company and the hiring manager, prepare everything in advance, and work on your technique so you stop simply answering questions and start asking the right ones.
That is what positions you as the senior, valuable candidate they need to hire. I've sat on every side of the hiring table, so you'll know exactly what the person across from you is listening for.
One-to-one, 1-hour sessions. Most people need 1 or 2. How booking works
Getting interviews is one skill. Converting them into offers is a completely different one.
You can target the right jobs, approach companies directly, get your LinkedIn and resume right and build a profile that attracts employers. All of that matters. But if you can't convert the interview once you're in the room, it means nothing.
I've worked as an internal recruiter, an agency recruiter and a hiring decision-maker. Here's what I know from that side: by the final stage, everyone has the experience and everyone has the qualifications. Personality and connection are what get the offer.
Every session is tailored to you and the interview in front of you.
What they do, where they're heading and what this role really needs to solve.
Who you're meeting, their background and what they're likely to care about.
We review everything in advance so you walk in fully prepared, not hoping for the best.
Are you just talking, or are you questioning? This is where most of the gains come from.
They give a good answer, then keep talking.
The more you talk, the more reasons you give the interviewer to have reservations. You create objections that weren't there before.
The fix isn't a longer, more polished answer. It's putting the ball back in the employer's court, so they have to clarify what they actually want.
I teach a simple structure: Answer. Evidence. Result. Then stop. If the interviewer wants more detail, trust me, they'll ask.
When the interviewer asks a question, you clarify it first. They give you more information. Then you tailor your answer to exactly what they want to hear.
It does two things. Your answers land, because you know what they're looking for. And you come across as a more senior candidate, because senior people ask questions before they give answers.
Most candidates recite their CV. Instead, try:
"Sure, I'm happy to. Just so I know, what are you looking for? Is it something to do with my professional background, my personal life, or something else?"
Whatever they choose, they've just told you what they want to hear. If it's your background, you can clarify your CV. If it's personal, it's fair to share more about who you are outside work. If they leave it to you, I'd usually go personal. You can even say:
"You've got my resume, so let me tell you something that isn't on it."
That's how you build the connection that wins the final stage.
One of my clients was told in an interview that he was asking for twice as much money as anyone else. Then they asked him why that might be.
He didn't apologise or start justifying himself. He asked a question back:
"If I'm asking for twice as much as anyone else, there must be a reason. You've interviewed the other candidates and you've still invited me in. What is it about my skills and experience that you feel would allow me to do this job in a way the others couldn't?"
They answered it for him.
That's the leverage Socratic questioning creates.
I did manage to go from first contact with Lucy to a final job offer after intense rounds of interviews in less than 60 days! My only regret is not finding her sooner.
Lucy helped me refine my positioning and coached me to approach every conversation with greater clarity and confidence than I did at the start of my search. I’ve just accepted an offer as Head of Business Value, a role that’s an excellent fit in every way.
The online program was exceptional and the one-on-one sessions with Lucy were even better. Lucy and her colleagues were incredibly helpful in all aspects of this process, including valuable tips regarding preparing cover letters, optimizing my CV and LinkedIn profile, searching for positions, preparing for interviews, and final negotiations.
Sessions are 1 hour and focus on exactly what you need. Most people need 1 or 2, usually ahead of a specific interview.

If you're not getting interviews yet, start earlier in the process. Inside the Career Growth Accelerator, the interview and negotiation module comes after targeting the right roles, direct outreach, and getting your LinkedIn and resume in shape.
Interview coaching is one-to-one preparation for a job interview with someone who knows how hiring decisions are made. With me, that means researching the company and the hiring manager, preparing your answers and working on your technique, particularly how to ask clarifying questions instead of over-talking.
Book a Power Hour on my booking page. You choose a time, pay when you book, then send me your resume, the details of the job you're going for and anything else that's useful, so I can prepare in advance. You can also use a Power Hour for general one-to-one coaching on anything you want to talk through.
Most people need 1 or 2 one-hour sessions, usually booked ahead of a specific interview. If you're interviewing regularly, the Career Growth Accelerator gives you ongoing one-to-ones alongside the interview and negotiation module.
Yes. Sessions can include practising answers to the questions you're likely to face, with direct feedback on what you say and how much you say.
If you're getting interviews but not offers, yes. At the final stage everyone has the experience, so the offer goes to the candidate who positions themselves best and builds a connection. One client used the approach on this page to get hired at twice the rate the role was pitched at.
Yes. Questions about money are interview questions too, and the same Socratic approach works. Ask a clarifying question, let the employer make the case for you, then answer.
Everything you've done to get the interview only pays off if you convert it. Prepare for the specific company and hiring manager, stop talking once you've answered, clarify the question before you answer it, and build a connection, not just a case.
