What people say about us:

I found my session with Interview Advantage incredibly useful. It felt entirely like a proper interview - even down to the fact it was in a business environment. The feedback was comprehensive and got to the heart of my concerns. It was really helpful, both in terms of steering me towards more effective answers, but just as importantly in reassuring me about what I was already doing right. Both my subsequent job interviews have been completely successful.Durham university undergraduate
Tony is an excellent career adviser who is extremely experienced, helpful, patient, easy-going and open-minded. His advice always clears my doubts and has given me far-reaching insight into my future.Ginny Wang
I am pleased to let you know that I did really well at the interview and was offered an invitation to visit their offices in Dubai for a second round interview. Both the sessions with you, and the feedback, were instrumental in getting me ready for the interview so thank you for that.
Kate is a true professional. Her knowledge and experience of the graduate market is impressive, particularly in terms of the identifying individuals with great potential who match the skill sets and profile we look for.Paul Peplow, Head of Talent Management Europe, Telefónica / O2
I really enjoyed the session. This was a very positive experience for me. I have found you to be very good and professional. I recommend you to anybody who would like to prepare him or herself for a consulting interview.MBA Student, London Business School
I have worked to incorporate your feedback. Having a run through was very helpful – as were the points you gave me to work on. Equally the confidence boost from understanding the areas that I didn't do too badly on was great. Thank you, it was fantastic and enjoyable too.
With her background in real-life recruitment, her honesty and her empathy, Kate's interview coaching sessions were greatly sought-after by our students. They appreciated the commercial insight and advice she gave and always found interactions challenging but enjoyable.Jonathan Black, Oxford University Careers Service
I was feeling the pinch financially when I signed up for Interview Advantage – but with the benefit of hindsight it was money very well spent. Something has gone right because I got second round interviews at the four companies that I applied to, and I've now been offered a post.MBA student, London Business School
I found our session really productive, both in identifying specific mannerisms and also more generally assessing how I come across in an interview setting. It confirmed some thoughts I had about areas that I can improve on and it is especially useful to get direct unfiltered feedback.
Tony Besse is a vastly experienced lawyer which makes him a fount of clear, practical and targeted career advice, not to mention an absolute pleasure to work with.Magic Circle Trainee
I am struggling to find any aspects of the session that I did not like and so would be happy to recommend you to any of my peers.Sixth form student, London
I’d just like to thank you on behalf of my son. Before your session with him he’d been successful in getting first interviews, but not being asked back for further rounds. Speaking with you did wonders for his confidence, and he’s now been offered a place at one of his target law firms.Overseas client, Sotogrande, Spain
Tony gave me a lot of confidence and an invaluable insight into the profession. I am extremely grateful for every minute he has dedicated to me.Magic Circle Trainee
