CONTAct me

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.

Trainee Garda

I wanted to contact you regarding your help in preparing me for my written report and interview preparation for An Garda Síochána. I'm delighted to let you know that I placed in the top two hundred in the first stage and following our work together I placed in the top twenty applicants after the interview.
Following the work we did, I felt both confident and prepared for the written report and interview. With your insight to the both the interview and organisation itself, I felt confident in the material we worked through, as well as what a career as a Garda would have in store for me. I would without hesitation recommend your services to anyone aspiring to join An Garda Síochána, as I truly enjoyed the time spent working with you and I never once felt under any pressure. You were enjoyable to work with, supportive and built confidence in my journey through the application process. I would like to thank you again for everything you have done for me during my application process.

I have recently used the services of Helena at Interview Coaching HQ to help me prepare for Garda Trainee interview. I had never been through a competency based interview before and found the process quite a daunting task, so I reached out to Helena for help and guidance. From my first contact, Helena was very professional, calming and informative. She immediately put my mind at ease as we prepared for the interview. 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. I would highly recommend Helena to anybody preparing for interview.
