“Angela’s understanding of the competency based interview process and her knowledge of the Health Service is what drew me to Interview Coaching. She quickly identified the areas I need to improve and she helped me to better manage the anxiety I had about interviews. I got 1^st on the panel as an Assistant Director of Nursing and I feel I now have the confidence and strategies to help me with future interviews”

HOW WILL INTERVIEW COACHING HELP ME?

Each Interview Coaching session is tailored to your individual needs. At the beginning of the process, I will review your current interview style, help you to identify your areas for improvement and work with you to find an interview preparation strategy that works for you.

The Interview Coaching process is focused on helping you to approach the interview with the needs of the employer in mind. Working from the job specification, I will help you identify what is required of the role, the depth of detail required in your answers based on the seniority of the role and I will work with you to ensure you meet the expectations of the interview panel.

I’ll guide you on how to capture the interest of the interviewer from the outset by showing you how to structure your answers succinctly to interview questions as well as helping you to deliver an interview performance filled with energy and enthusiasm. Reading cues from and knowing how to “engage” with interviewers is central to performing well at interview.

Angela Smiddy

I’m Angela Smiddy, the founder of Insightful Works Coaching Solutions. My primary education is in Human Resource Management, I qualified as a Business and Executive Coach in 2011 and I hold a Masters in Personal and Management Coaching from UCC. I spent almost 20 years of my career with the Health Service Executive, with the majority of my tenure in Leadership, Education and Talent Development. This is where my passion for coaching stems.

I find it deeply rewarding working with highly talented and ambitious professionals who despite regularly updating their Professional Development to ensure there are fully competent in the Role and delivering the best service to their patients/clients, are often uncomfortable promoting themselves. Empowering my clients to succeed in interviews, realise their career development potential, maximise their profile and open themselves up to career opportunities is my mission.

I have a unique insight into what Health Service Employers expect from interview candidates, having facilitated the coaching and development of Leaders, teams and professionals across multiple disciplines during my time in the Health Service. I also draw on my own experience as interviewer and interviewee.

Although I’m based in Cork, I coach extensively through zoom, which has allowed me work with clients from all over Ireland. I also work with clients in the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA who are planning a career in the Irish Health & Public Sector.

“I had struggled to progress from a Staff Officer to Section Officer as I fell to pieces at interviews, I found the whole lead up to the interview extremely stressful and waffled my way through interviews. Angela’s interview coaching process gave me a step by step approach to preparation and helped me find a way to remember my answers with a structured approach. I couldn’t believe it when I came 1st on the panel and was in my new role within weeks of working with her.”
