Garda to Sergeant Competition
I decided late in my career to go for promotion. I had no real interview experience as a candidate and was lacking in the skills and confidence to carry myself through such an interview. Helena was highly recommended to me by trusted colleagues so I reached out to her. She could see that I had the ability and experience but I needed the confidence and self-belief.
The completion of the application form was the first stumbling block I had. Her feedback transformed my form to an extremely high standard. My form was seen by a senior manager who commented on the high standard of the form. I took this credit 🤣but the credit belongs to Helena.
I did a number of sessions with Helena which were a huge learning & hugely beneficial. My progress from the first session to the last, was very evident.
Helena is very friendly and has a calming manner about her. She prepared me for the interview without adding any stress. She backed me, gave me confidence and ultimately, I passed the interview thanks to her help. I would strongly recommend Helena's Interview Coaching Services.

She reviewed my examples and showed me where I could improve them. I have no doubt that working with Helena improved my interview technique immensely.
