BRILLIANT

BRILLIANT. I contacted Farhan as I had NHS interviews for a job I had failed to get the previous year. I felt I had the knowledge I needed but really struggled to present myself and come across in the way that I hoped. Thanks to Farhan's guidance and tips I was able to come across significantly more competent, polished and confident, and got the job this time round. I initially wondered if the work Farhan does would be applicable to NHS/civil service roles-for anyone wondering-it absolutely is!! Farhan is kind, patient, easy to work with and very good at what he does. 100% would recommend, so thankful to have come across jobinterviewology.

Thank you for your very kind review Cynthia, however there is no Mr Mcmunn that works at our organisation, and it would be duly unfair for us to take credit for his work. We would appreciate that when you have the opporunity that you delete this review from our page and repost it on Mr Mcmunn's Trust Pilot page as he's the one who deserves it.

Lastly many congratulations on your interview and wish you success in your new role.

Excellent coaching, highly recommended

I have had 3 job interviews in total since being coached by Farhan and have been successful in all of them, so it's been worth every penny in my opinion! I was first coached by Farhan a few years ago, and recently went back for additional coaching for another job interview. I often did not use to be particularly successful at job interviews so I'm extremely grateful to Farhan for helping me improve. I've found the structured approach and positive attitude which Farhan brings to preparing for interviews really helpful. Farhan is also very supportive and easy to work with. Thank you Farhan!

Exceptional experience

Working with Fahran was an exceptional experience for me. He is a great listener and extremely caring with feedback. I did feel after the first conversation we had that he would help me to get where I wanted.
I thought I had met someone who would only help me to pass an interview. Fahran helped with much more. Yes, after working with him, I succeed a job interview, but I feel that I also succeed in learning to prepare for interviews, presentations and to make myself sufficiently capable of improving my communication skills. I would not think twice about looking for Fahran's expertise in case it is needed. He is unique.

I have no hesitation in recommending…

I have no hesitation in recommending Farhan.
I first contacted him a few months ago as I was so rusty at interviews having been in the same job for a long time but keen to progress my career and take on a new challenge.. but I was either getting no interview at all or when I did, I wasn't performing well and wasn't getting shortlisted. I am in the Public Sector and the job application and interview process can be really painstaking.
After working with Farhan I have improved immeasurably and he has taught me how, if you have a handful of brilliant, lengthy answers you can use versions of them to answer pretty much any question - it's all about making the most of your experience, and really expanding your answers - and of course it's all a performance which I now understand! My confidence has really grown and I have just done a great interview and been shortlisted twice...I know I can do this and I am on my way to landing a great new opportunity. Farhan has helped me put in a brilliant application too. He's great to work with and has patience and empathy. Thank you Farhan!

Overwhelming praise

I have recently lost my confidence in interviews after a couple that did not go so well. I was trying to step up into the next level of senior management within the NHS and needed to do something different. I contacted Farhan and in our informal conversation he had already done his homework and could sell me better than I have done in the last 15 years. The one to one coaching sessions are invaluable and forced me to spend time reflecting and thinking about myself and my experience. Farhan was really good at helping me structure answers to questions but most of all, built my confidence back up. I had the best interview after our sessions and got the job. The feedback from the panel was it was an overwhelming consensus and they called me back 2 hours after my interview. I can't recommend Farhan enough. Money well spend.

Thanks Farhan

A very big thank you to Farhan- his training course and one to one support was invaluable in helping me get a new job. After being made redundant in December 2019 I had had a number of interviews which were "close things" without being successful. I decided I needed some help. Farhan's training course is easy to follow and well constructed, building up a robust approach to model interview technique.

The one to one support is where the real value lies, however. Farhan is an excellent coach- supportive, perceptive with a necessarily critical eye for improvement. I stuck up an instant rapport with him. I cannot recommend Farhan highly enough. The full training package is worth every penny.

Highly recommended ! My go-to-person for any career related topic from now on !

I was delighted to be working with Farhan throughout my (successful) interview process for Amazon and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for support in his / her career.
Farhan is a master in working with you in-depth on the subset of professional angles of an interview or career and he absolutely excels in the interpersonal aspects. You will be able to learn about career objectives, structuring conversations, story telling, but also about stress management and preparation techniques. All in all this makes him an outstanding and trusthworthy career coach / generalist professional coach / recruitment coach. He will bring your interviewing techniques to a much higher level than you would ever expect to be capable of.
My advise is to take the opportunity to have the initial (free) phone conversation with Farhan. There are no strings attached and you can just get to know more about his way of working and what potential there is to improve yourself. 200% warmly recommended.

Best interview coach

A huge thank you to Farhan.
Farhan was sooo amazing at how he supported me to structure my answers to interview questions.

Farhan was very patient and he worked through my anxieties with me first, before moving on to my interviewing skills and techniques.

I am so very grateful as his support has helped me to gain confidence in my interview skills, he has taught me not to give up, and to perservere until i reach my goal.
Thats what i have been doing since and will continue to do moving forward.
Thank you Farhan!!

Thank you!

I found it so helpful working with Farhan. Previously I have lacked confidence and had several unsuccessful interviews. I worked with Farhan on my answers and how I would approach different questions, and how to add relevant detail to my answers. I found it so helpful to think and work through answers, and Farhan really listened to what I said and my motivations and helped me to learn how to structure these into a form that would impress the interviewers. It really changed my outlook about the interview: I had a new confidence about the interview and about my capabilities and I could see and think clearly about why I did really want the job, and how I could structure this into a great interview answer. This enabled me to think calmly in the interview, and be confident in my knowledge, something which I had really struggled with before. It was so useful to do this course early in my career, as the skills I have learnt in regards to structuring and thinking quickly, as well as my new confidence are so helpful and transferable for the rest of my career. And I am so pleased that I have just got my first professional job! So thank you so much!

His coaching helped me get my job

I knew I needed interview coaching after I got feedback on a job interview for a policy management role. While I was good on paper, I was bad, really bad at interview. I knew I had done everything I could do to perform well. As a result I knew I needed to change my whole approach. I needed coaching.

I contacted a couple of interview coaches. Farhan responded quickly and showed me to he understood my issues, and said he could help.

I paid for online course and 1-2-1 coaching. The online course gave me a solid foundation to the approach. And started me on the journey. The 1-2-1 session helped to create detailed, engaging stories. It had such a difference. The next job I went for, they concluded I could definitely do the job. What a difference in feedback. While I didn’t get the job, it gave me the assurance that the change in approach works. Just needed to refine my answers and examples for my next interview

When I was invited to interview for another policy management job the first person I contacted was Farhan for coaching. This helped me refine and create good examples with depth, clarity and engagement. I was invited to a second interview whoop!

Farhan provided useful hints and tips on how to approach the second interview and how to improve my presentation. Made such a difference, I got a job on promotion.

This was only possible due to Farhan coaching.

Throughout the process he was emphatic, provided personalised support and advice, and gave useful feedback. Next job interview, he going to the first person I call.

Brilliant help and support from jobinterviewology helped me get my dream job!

From the first conversation I had with Farhan he put me at my ease, I was feeling in a rut after a series of unsuccessful interviews and he was reassuring that with his help I could turn the situation around. I was doubtful at the time because my confidence in my interview skills were rock bottom after having several occasions of negative feedback in the past. However, i took Farhan’s clear and logical advice on board and he supported through a few weeks of preparation and always did what he promised and boosted me up when I was feeling defeatist. I am feeling really pleased and very happy to say that today I have been offered a job after interviewing successfully! I feel like I have come on a personal journey, which Farhan has guided me through all the way so skilfully and helpfully and he has always been so encouraging. I hope anyone who may be able to relate to me and needs some guidance to navigate through the brick wall I kept coming up against in terms of interview technique has the confidence to pick up the phone to jobinterviewology as you won’t regret it I promise! I feel like I have learnt a valuable life skill of interviewing more effectively, thanks so much Farhan!

Working with Farhan has been amazing

Working with Farhan has been amazing! I started working with him when I was at a crossroads with my business and wasn’t sure how to move forward. Farhan worked with me on re-establishing the foundations of my business strategy, which literally made my fly! He also made sure that my mindset was focused and in the right place and through that I have been able to successfully plan my business journey with clarity and confidence.

Highly recommended interview coach

I received an invite to important interview last week, and had less than week to prepare.
My career has spanned 35 years. I’d changed jobs 4 times during that period, and up until recently had never been asked any competency based questions in an interview. I decided to be on the safe side and enlist a coach.
I sent my contact details and within a few hours received a call, had a mini interview over the phone and was able book two appointments prior to my interview right after the call.
Farhan, has designed a very elegant training program, which made perfect sense to me, and was super helpful in helping me understand the structure of questions that often get asked, and the psychology of why they get asked. I had a mock interview two days prior to the real interview. The course helped me prepare effectively, and certainly gave me a lot more confidence to deal with current interview styles.
The proof is in the pudding! I got a thumbs up from the Vice President of HR immediately after my interview, and an email moments later from the acquisition talent partner confirming I’d got the job. I would highly recommend this service.

Interview coaching

I have had 31 interviews in the last 7 years since my redundancy. I normally get the job the agencies put me forward for. When applying for permanent jobs, I am always invited for an interview but it is the interview which lets me down. I decided to look for a professional coach to help. The first conversation with Farhan, I was really impressed with his insight and positive advice. However, at the time I still decided to shop around. I spoke to a further two interview coaches; 1) A lady who had her own business - who offered a structured approach. I asked for her email address. 2) A gentleman who sounded genuine and he said he was going on holiday, however he booked me in and said he would call. I did not hear from either of these two. I was not impressed. Farhan always follows up his emails and phone calls. I decided to work with him. I did one session with him, and I was successful at my first interview, with a role at a local authority. I have been really pleased with his genuine, support and enthusiasm with his interview coaching. I would have given him 10 stars - if the option was there. I would highly recommend him.

Farhan is an excellent interview coach

Farhan is an excellent interview coach. He helped me to build structured and comprehensive answers and taught me a new approach to interviewing.

Farhan is very approachable and encouraging and increased my confidence generally. I would highly recommend him.

Thanks to Farhan’s coaching and advice I secured a senior management post with directorate level salary. I truly would not have achieved this without his help and expertise. As for me, I would not have felt confident enough to put myself forward for such a position without his counselling, advice and encouragement. I can honesty say that farhan’s coaching has allowed me to achieve my dream job and I would have no hesitation in recommending his coaching.

Civil Service Interview Experience

I worked with Farhan to prepare for a Civil Service Project Manager based interview, in which I was successful at obtaining. In all honesty, I'd attribute about 15 percent of my success to Farhan.

It seems that Farhan is not aware of how Civil Service interviews are structured, and how the candidate should answer. As most Civil Servants know, interviews are formulated around Behaviour and Strength based questions, using success profiles.

If I had followed Farhans advice, he would've taken me completely off track, and I would’ve failed. For strength based questions, which are two minutes long (which he wasn't aware of) he recommended that I should tell an introductory story to build a human connection with the panel, then respond to the question. Which completely conflicts with the advice given from my mock interviews with staff from the actual organisation, and conflicts with how civil service based strength based questions are scored.

For my behaviour based questions, he told me to skim over the details and background of my answers, and zone in solely on the question (rather than follow the S.T.A.R method used in the civil service), again which completely contradicted the advice I was given from my mock interviews.

The only benefits from Farhan was that he helped me to add some depth on a few of my answers, regarding stakeholders, innovation, and communication.

I imagine that Farhan is an amazing coach at private sector roles, but for civil service based jobs, I unfortunately cannot recommend him. He needs a proper awareness of how they are structured, and how they need to be answered. He even told me to scrap one of my answers that scored the highest at mock and interview!

If I followed his advice, as opposed to the advice taken from my own experience, and my mock interviews, I would've been unsuccessful.

Thanks for the review Aaron and I’m delighted that you landed the role even if we only contributed to 15% of your success for this internal position. However in saying that our last 4 reviews have all been in the Public Sector/Civil Service and were all successful in securing their roles (like yourself) all of which are at a higher band roles then your position. Having successfully coached 100s of professionals within the Civil Service I would have to politely agree to disagree in your assessment of our experience within this sector.

Regarding strength based questions being limited to 2 minutes long. This is generally accepted as a guide rather than something which has to be strictly adhered to, this is usually at the discretion of the interviewer. However if you build an engaging narrative which connects with the interviewer even if the answer goes to 3 minutes is absolutely fine. Imagine a nervous interviewee who has prepped a 2 minute answer but due to nerves is struggling to articulate their words being cut off after 2 minutes because their answer went over the time limit (it would be quite cruel).

Again I know you were working to tight timelines and having many people from within your organisation supporting you in preparation with this interview along with ourselves. When this happens it’s quite common to have differences of points of view and opinions.

Regarding the STAR method I did not suggest that you skim over the background for the behavioural/competency questions (our whole online programme which was part of your package has a full section dedicated to competency (STAR) based questions). As you know, we were building case studies where a single case study can answer multiple behavioural questions (making it easier for you to recall information and provide greater depth), therefore if you've already provided the background of the case study in a previous example, there is no need to repeat all the background again, rather you would say "as mentioned previously, in my XYZ project actually we had a very difficult stakeholder at the implementation stage..." this will then firstly not bore the interviewer (by repeating everything again for 30-45 seconds) but importantly allow you to dedicate more time to focus on the Action and provide a higher level of depth in your answer which is where the majority of the marks are scored.

I do believe considering you were successful in securing the role with partly our support that your review is a tad unfair, but putting that aside I'm genuinely over the moon that you landed the role and I wish you every success in the future.

Support with interviews

Farhan Raja @jobinterviewlogy is a great interview/career coach. He's supported me twice during my journey with job hunting & on both occasions I was offered a role immediately after - one of them a promotion. He was patient & gave me all the techniques I needed to successfully go through the interview process. At the end of my sessions with him, l realised a massive difference in the way I approached interviews. With Farhan's amazing support, I finally realised that being successful in an interview isn't just about my skills & competences, but that approach & techniques can make a great difference. I would recommend Job Interviewology to anyone struggling with interviews.
