Career Success with Julie

What do you want to change about your career?

Applying for jobs but not getting the interviews you expect?Your experience may be strong, but your CV may not be showing employers your value quickly enough.

Getting interviews but not the offers?You are getting through the first hurdle. Something needs to change in how you communicate your value in the room.

Ready for a better role, better salary or promotion?The next step may need more than simply applying for more jobs. It needs clearer positioning and a stronger strategy.

Returning to work or looking for your first job?Knowing how to present what you can offer can make the difference between being overlooked and being taken seriously.

Thinking about changing career or moving into a different industry?Your transferable skills need to make sense to an employer who has not seen you do that job before.

Or do you simply know you are capable of more?

Wherever you are now, the next move starts with knowing what needs to change.

Julie · Over 30 years in recruitment

30 years on the recruitment side of the table

I have seen what candidates normally never get to see.

What makes an employer stop and read a CV.
Why one candidate gets shortlisted and another does not.
What employers are really trying to establish with their interview questions.
What makes them feel confident about one candidate.
What creates doubt about another.
What can cost a very capable person the job.

Now you get to use that experience from your side of the table.

Four levels of personalised support

Which problem do you want to solve?

Your Recrovia candidate account, job search and applications remain free. These optional packages provide additional one-to-one career support.

View full package details

1Personalised Interview Preparation

Your interview preparation will be based around you, your experience and the types of roles you are targeting.

Your career history and experience
The roles and level you are interviewing for
What employers are likely to be looking for
Your strongest skills, examples and achievements
How to communicate your value clearly
How to research the company and opportunity
How to prepare for different interview formats
Questions you are likely to be asked
Questions you should be asking the employer
How to make a strong first impression

Where you have a specific interview coming up, we can focus your preparation around that particular role and employer. You will go into future interviews with a clearer understanding of what you want to communicate, the examples you want to use and why you are a strong candidate for the opportunity.

2One-to-one Mock Interview

Knowing what you want to say and being able to deliver it effectively under interview conditions can be very different. You will take part in a realistic one-to-one mock interview designed around the type and level of role you are targeting.

How you introduce yourself
The structure and clarity of your answers
How well you explain your experience
How effectively you demonstrate achievements
Whether you provide enough evidence and examples
How you respond when challenged or questioned further
Your communication style
Areas where answers become too long or lose focus
Your overall interview performance

Afterwards, you will receive constructive feedback on what worked well and what could be strengthened. This gives you the opportunity to practise, make mistakes and improve before it matters in a real interview.

3Difficult Interview Questions

Many strong candidates lose confidence when they are asked a question they were not expecting. We will work through the questions you personally find difficult, as well as those employers commonly use to explore potential concerns.

Why do you want to leave your current role?
Why did you leave your previous employer?
Why have you changed jobs several times?
Why is there a gap in your employment?
What are your weaknesses?
Tell me about a time something went wrong
Why should we employ you?
Why do you want this job?
Why are you changing career?
What salary are you looking for?

You will learn how to answer difficult questions truthfully and positively without becoming defensive, apologetic or giving an answer that weakens your position. We will also work on competency and scenario-based questions where appropriate to the roles you are targeting. The objective is not to give you scripted answers to memorise. It is to help you understand how to structure an answer that sounds natural, confident and genuinely reflects your experience.

4Interview Confidence Coaching

Interview nerves are normal, but they should not prevent an employer from seeing what you can do. This part of the programme focuses on helping you feel more prepared and in control.

Understanding what may be affecting your confidence
Reducing overthinking before an interview
Preparing without trying to memorise answers
Speaking confidently about your achievements
Handling pauses and unexpected questions
Recovering if an answer does not go as planned
Avoiding talking too quickly or giving overly long answers
Building rapport with the interviewer
Showing enthusiasm without feeling forced
Finishing the interview positively

The objective is not to turn you into somebody different. It is to help the interviewer see the confident, capable person behind your CV.

5Salary Negotiation and Offer Advice

Receiving an offer is exciting, but it is also the point where many candidates are unsure what to say or how to negotiate. You will receive guidance on how to approach salary conversations professionally and confidently.

How to answer salary expectation questions
When to discuss salary
How to research an appropriate salary range
How to avoid underselling yourself
How to respond when an offer is lower than expected
How to ask whether there is flexibility
How to consider the complete package, not just salary
How to negotiate without damaging the relationship
What to consider before accepting an offer
How to respond professionally once you have made your decision

Where appropriate, you can also come back to me for guidance when you receive an actual offer, so you do not have to make an important career decision without support.

Agreed actions following sessions
Clear priorities between sessions
Progress checkpoints
Review of applications and job-search activity
Follow-up on agreed career actions
Adjustments when something is not working
Encouragement to keep moving when motivation drops
A clear focus on the next practical step

We will review your progress during the programme so your strategy can develop as your circumstances change.

What actions have been completed
What results you are seeing
Applications and responses
Interview progress and feedback
Changes to your target roles or salary expectations
Confidence and motivation
What is working well
What needs to change
Your priorities for the next stage

This keeps the programme focused on progress rather than simply completing a list of services.

7This Is About More Than Your Next Job

Package Four is for somebody who wants individual support to make a meaningful change to their career and future. You are not receiving automated career advice, generic templates or a programme that looks the same for everybody.

You are receiving personalised one-to-one support from initial career direction through applications, interviews, offers and the decisions that come with making a significant career move. The goal is to help you create a clearer direction, present yourself more effectively, build confidence, take consistent action and move towards a career that works better for you.
