Job Interviewology Avis 

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.

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.

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.
From Sharraine

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.

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.

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.

Highly recommended. I was so nervous when I got invited for interview and I don't know where to start, I was panicking and so stressed. Farhan kept me in the right track and made me less nervous and help me prepare myself mentally. Thank you Farhan! great experience and I got the Job..

Professional and insightful help in development of possible answers; Brilliant thoughtful advice on how to construct answers to deliver most impact; Realistic mock interview which is perfect preparation for the real thing.

I worked with Farhan to prepare for an interview in May 2020. I am in the process of making a transition in my career, and whilst I am an experienced and confident professional, I felt my interview answers lacked structure and didn't showcase my experience as well as they could have. Due to the added pressure of the current job market, I decided to invest in an interview coach to give me every chance at success.

Farhan's programme worked really well for me. I used his online modules to identify and work on responses to predicted questions. I then practiced and refined the responses in 1:1 sessions with him over Zoom.

Farhan is kind, honest, clever and experienced. I trusted his coaching and I'm glad I did, as I was successful at interview!

Even if I hadn't been successful - I wouldn't regret working with him. I already feel better prepared for my next interview, whenever that might be.

I was really nervous for my upcoming interview. I had never used an interview coach before but being paralysed by anxiety, I sought help from Farhan.
Farhan was really responsive and helped me think about how to structure my answers and the presentation. We also did a mock interview.
He also devised some possible questions based on the Job description which was helpful. We also discussed how to deal with my nerves. I would really recommend this service for anyone who struggles with nervous and keeping answers to the point and structured.

I am so grateful for Farhan’s support, his one to one and the course helped me hone my answers to showcase myself in the best way possible in my latest interview. After many failed attempts to progress to management, I became stuck in a rut and struggled to progress. The course and coaching helped me gain confidence and made me believe in myself to ensure I had success.

I am very grateful for your support. It was absolutely worth the small investment in myself. It developed my confidence and I was finally offered a management role following this. Not only that they told me that I interviewed well with passion, confidence and they could see my experience and knowledge. I know feel so encouraged and will definitely continue to use the course to aid me to go even further in my career.

It’s my absolute pleasure to write a review for Farhan from jobinterviewology.

I was looking for a coach to help me with a second interview at Director level. His knowledge and expertise in this area helped me to achieve the best result, keeping me focussed and presenting in the most professional way. He enabled me to draw on my skillset cleverly to show off my credentials and experience. Having him involved for my second and third interview stages was a huge advantage. His online course together with the 1:1 sessions are both interesting and informative. His passion to help others achieve their best is obvious, along with his undeniable talent, Farhan was an absolute joy to work with. He helped me to foster positive discussions and bring the best attributes of my character out to the interviewers. He was always positive and encouraging when I felt out of my comfort zone.

Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Farhan for anyone looking for help with interview techniques or looking to change career. He is a dedicated and knowledgeable coach for whom I hold the greatest respect. It’s one of the best personal investments I’ve made in my life.

Please feel free to contact me at Reflections Consultancy Ltd should you like to discuss this review further. I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation.

From the start my coach sought to find out every little detail about my behaviour and work history. Not only did my coach provide an online program to follow, but he also made sure to support me fully along my journey with 1-1 coaching via phone / in person. I found my coach to be straight forward in identifying my weaknesses and I trusted him with personal struggles. He was always in contact with me, keeping me focused whilst ensuring that I was dedicating my time towards prep for interview. I have now received confirmation that I have been offered the job of my dreams, therefore I would definitely recommend Job Interviewology to anyone who requires career mentoring/coaching!

After a number of unsuccessful Interviews I attended, I took the decision to search for some professional help and finally this time I was successful!
Thanks to Farhan’s help and guidance, today the Hiring Manager called me to inform me that they are offering me the role.
If I had thought to search for help with my interview preparation earlier I might have succeeded In one of the previous interviews I attended.
Thank you Farhan once again for your help and your useful instructions on how to present myself and better prepare and construct my answers.

Farahan is an amazing coach. I was managing to secure interviews but was struggling to get an offer. His honest and frank feedback has been invaluable and after working with him, following his methods and doing his course I finally got an offer.

I even used a salary negotiating technique he taught me and I got an offer 20% above what I was happy to accept.

I would highly recommend his 1-2-1 coaching and his course.

Farhan is a very emotionally intelligent and smart guy and helped me to understand how to make more of my natural strengths, and give better answers to tough questions. He's got a very systematic approach that ensures you are thoroughly prepared, but he's also very friendly and reassuring in his delivery. In the end I got the job - the help Farhan gave me definitely contributed towards this positive result. I would certainly work with him again!

I was really nervous prior to my first ever interview but Farhan was amazing and he helped me gain confidence. As a recent graduate, I had little experience and felt lost. Farhan helped me realise that I was holding myself back by overthinking and overcomplicating things. He was very honest with me and through that, I was able to see how others saw me, and I found the will to overcome my shyness, my tendency to laugh when I'm nervous etc. and change my approach. He taught me that the whole process of finding a job is a journey and that there is a lot to learn from the experience. Farhan really helped me shift my mindset and I am extremely grateful for this because at first, I didn't know where I was going wrong or what I should focus on. What I learnt from him had a huge impact on how I approached my applications and interviews. I'm extremely grateful for his advice and I got a job! He was extremely helpful, kind and encouraging and he's still always at hand for a quick chat even after our sessions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Job Interviewology to everyone!

Farhan showed me how to show my best attributes without clutter. His program and additional tips we covered in the one to one and second meeting set me up to secure the very next opportunity that I applied for!!

Farhan showed a genuine interest and concern ensuring a completed program/approach rather then just clock watching.

I highly recommend his services

Brilliant! I took 1 to 1 coaching and this course has really helped me to present myself while facing an interview. Furthermore, it took me to the challenge to gain confidence.Moreover, I really suggest to take a course with the Job interviewology.
Thank you for your help.

I like to say that Farhan is an excellent coach. I have always found interviews difficult and very nerve racking. Farhan's online course and personal coaching really made a difference. Give yourself time and try and complete the online exercises and the advice given by Farhan is priceless.
