Innovate Together is one of the worlds best kept secrets. A senior colleague told me about Clare. I had gone to other people and I was still struggling to make it through interviews. Clare pared everything back to basics and made sure I knew everything about the role I was going for. She challenged me and recommended reading material for areas that I was not confident in. Through our discussion, I remembered situations that I had totally forgotten. I was able to translate those situations into really strong relevant examples. I could feel myself growing into the role during our discussions. The thought process she brought me through was really useful and better than any course I have ever done. It was like two years learning in four hours. Working with Clare brought me to a new level. I got the job after two rounds of challenging interviews and a presentation. Joe Joe, Senior Garda Officer

Clare's technique is the best I have come across. After months of trying to find the right job matching my skill set, when the chance for an interview came up, I was afraid I was going to mess up the opportunity. Clare analysed the job spec in depth with me, finding key areas around which interview questions could arise. She worked with me to hone my answers so I could really bring out the best in my skills, raising my responses from average to great. At the same time Clare made me see that I had achieved enough to be good at the job, giving me the confidence I needed to overcome my pre-interview fear. Two years on I am loving the job. Now I recommend Clare and Innovate Together to all my friends when they are going for interview, or need a boost in their career: her success rate is second to none. -Terry - Senior Project Manager

Because of Covid 19 the company I was working with downsized and I was let go. A friend recommended Clare to me. I was so anxious to find another job I was not thinking straight. I was also ashamed of losing my job. Clare was kind but firm. She took her time, and showed me a bigger picture. She encouraged me to stay connected and make appointments to meet people every week. She supported me through my CV development and together we highlighted areas where I needed to find out more information. She showed me how to work on my strengths and turn areas for improvement into strengths. I went into my first interview fully confident. I am now in a job that I love. Looking back, it is hard to believe how low I was when I first met Clare. I will never forget her kindness, understanding and practical approach. Gerry – Financial Services

I was anxious about getting an internship and was very sceptical about getting outside advice. Innovate Together was recommended to my parents by friends. Clare immediately put me at ease, got me to understand the job I was going for and make sure I really wanted it. She asked me about college work and summer work that I had done on the buildings and before I knew it I was telling her about the people I worked with and the situations I had come across. Clare then showed me how best to link my experiences to the competencies required for the role. She also understood the technology I was talking about. I went to the interview with confidence. I got the internship and I am still with the company. From Clare, I learned to be myself and believe in who I am. Mark – Masters IT Student.

I was attending University in Dublin and living in Ireland away from home. I was overwhelmed by the process of preparing for my internship. My family were unfamiliar with the process. Clare took me on board and was a great support to me. She talked me through decisions and ensured I was confident going for interview. I completed a series of individual and group interviews and got the internship I wanted in a large multinational IT company. Three years later I am still there and have had opportunities I never imagined. I continue to keep in touch with Clare who is always a source of inspiration and guidance. Yasmin - Software Engineering Student.

We had never used external expertise previously for competency based interviews. Clare was recommended tous by a friend. She was professional and flexible in her approach and immediately put the Board and theCandidates at ease. Most importantly, Clare advised on many procedural elements that reduced our risk ofexposure, for which we are very grateful. She also challenged us and her leadership and strategic approach prompted us to look at the ‘bigger picture.’ We have used Clare on many occasions since. My only hesitation in recommending Clare, is that she will not be available when I call upon her next time! Tony – School Principal.
