Coaching for career-defining moves

Coached from both sides of the interview table.

Strategic career and interview coaching for graduates, professionals and senior leaders, drawing on a 30-year career that includes hiring, developing and leading people.

Whether you're changing direction, pursuing a promotion or preparing for a critical interview, this coaching clarifies your target, strengthens your positioning, and prepares you to perform when it matters.

The first conversation is complimentary and takes 20 minutes. No obligation.

Most careers advice stops at a CV tweak. It rarely covers psychometric testing, assessment centre exercises, board-level positioning, or the confidence to perform under pressure when it matters. That gap is the whole point of this programme.

4 Career-defining moves coached through to a confirmed outcome
2 Career tracks proven: graduate placement and professional career change
30 Years in technology leadership, most of them hiring, behind the coaching
Why clients engage

Three things most careers advice misses.

Hiring-side insight

This coaching is built on experience of senior hiring and people leadership in government and global technology, gained within a 30-year career. That means the advice reflects what employers and hiring panels are assessing for, not generic tips recycled from a careers blog.

Individual feedback

No templated advice or generic scripts. Every CV, application and mock interview is reviewed and fed back on individually, tailored to the specific roles and panels you're actually facing.

The overlooked stages

Psychometric testing, assessment centre exercises, panel and board-level positioning: the stages that decide outcomes but that most careers advice never covers.


Two sides, one table

“Every coaching conversation starts from the same place: what does the other side of this table actually want to see?”

A four-stage process, built from what actually works.

Not a generic template. A repeatable process refined across real clients and real outcomes, from first jobs to boardroom moves.

01

Discover

Understand strengths, interests and realistic options before choosing a direction.

02

Position

Psychometric tests, assessment centres, panel and board prep, the part most careers advice skips.

04

Perform

Mock interviews, confidence building, and a clear head for the final round.

“I built this because I kept doing it for my own family, and it kept working.”

The founder, Interview Table

My 30-year career includes leading national-scale digital services in government and global technology organisations, and hiring and developing people at different levels of seniority. Alongside that career, I've used the same 1:1 process, unpaid, with my two daughters, a niece and colleagues' children, and informally for working colleagues navigating a promotion round or a job move.
