Gosia: The Missing Piece at Interview
Gosia is a learning and development specialist in oil and gas. Originally from Poland and hungry for a new challenge, she kept reaching the final two at interview, and kept missing out, without ever quite knowing why.
The Challenge
Gosia was seeking a new job and greater challenges, and she kept coming agonisingly close. Time and again she found herself down to the last two candidates, only to miss out, with employer feedback that never quite explained it. “I kept wondering what the reason was for this,” she says.
She had a hunch of her own. “I was leaving interviews feeling that I hadn’t connected with my interviewers. They weren’t nodding while I was speaking to them.” Something in the connection was missing, and she knew it was time for help.
I was leaving interviews feeling that I hadn't connected with my interviewers. They weren't nodding while I was speaking to them.
The Solution
The positive feedback from alumni on the LSW website made the decision easy. Gosia signed up, in her words, “within a second,” drawn to the flexibility of the approach.
That flexibility proved its worth immediately. When she told her coach, Gilly, that she had an interview in two days, Gilly shifted the plan entirely, setting the wider programme aside to focus solely on interview technique. The improvement was instant. “I suddenly felt equipped. I had new skills that I could implement not just in interviews but in my daily life.”
The Result
Fitting the work around a full life, Gosia often booked evening sessions and arrived a little worn out from the day. She never left that way. “I always left feeling elated and alive. Gilly’s engagement is absolutely contagious.”
Five sessions were all it took to give her the boost she needed. And the ending is the kind you hope for: within days of finishing her course, Gosia landed a fantastic new job.
