EXCELLENT Based on 100 reviews Jane Lopez18. March, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough of the service provided by Lana. She provides high quality and prompt service, but also takes the time to speak to you as an individual, understand your situation, and answer your questions, rather than treating you as another document to be produced. I would highly recommend this business. max fairleigh26. February, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amber Wynn-Jones10.

She was able to draw skills out of me I didn’t realise I had and really helped me to see my value within my workplace, giving me the confidence I needed to career shift and venture into a new industry. Out of 17 applicants I was told from my resume and cover letter alone I was their front runner. Then with the interview tips and practice questions Lana gave, I was offered the position on the spot! You won’t regret working with her! Scott L18. July, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service provided from Lana was exceptional. She was extremely generous with her time and insights. I had been in my previous role for quite some time and my resume was outdated. I really needed some guidance to help bring my skills and experience to forefront in a way that was clear and concise. She certainly helped me achieve this. I secured numerous interviews and a new role. Many thanks Lana, highly recommend. Carlie Jones8. July, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently attended Lana's Government Interviews Masterclass, followed by a review of my current resume, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. The masterclass was exceptionally professional, well-organised and enjoyable. Providing a comprehensive overview of key topics such as preparation, common pitfalls, handling interview panels, conducting research, utilising the STAR method, incorporating AI, and crafting an effective elevator pitch. The 90-minute session was packed with invaluable tips and insider tricks, making it incredibly informative and educational. One of the aspects I appreciated was the class size, which was perfect for collaboration. It suited my comfort level of speaking in front of strangers while also allowing me to listen and learn from their experiences. This balance created an engaging and supportive environment. I took pages of notes throughout the session. I particularly like that Lana, was respectful and thoughtful about sharing private information of current or past clients. Lana's expertise and approachable teaching style made the usual confronting interviewing practices accessible and actionable. The resume review was equally thorough, providing me with personalised feedback and practical advice to enhance my resume. It was like having a conversation with a mentor and felt like she was equally invested in the outcome. Overall, Lana's masterclass and resume review were transformative experiences that have significantly boosted my confidence and preparedness for government interviews. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to elevate their career strategies and job application skills. daniel dutton8. July, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Lana enough. At every stage Lana was professional, and skilfully assisted me in developing my professional LinkedIn profile. I will certainly be working with her further in developing other areas of my profile and honing employment skills in the future. The assistance and advice Lana gave me has resulted in a successful employment offer which I shall soon be starting. Thank you Lana! Emma Dobbie25.

Highly recommend Lana - after one session with her I'm feeling much more confident in communicating effectively during interviews. Thank you!! Dan P24. June, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Lana twice now for two different roles within my organisation and on both occasions I was successful. These were very competitive, and I felt that the work that I did with Lana prepared me well, giving me confidence going into them that I had the resources to do my best at interview. The 1 on 1 interview was very good, but Lana also spent considerable time over the next couple of days working with me to refine answers and review material, which I doubt most other services would do. Because of this ongoing support I felt much more supported than other interview coaching sessions I have used in the past, again making me feel much more confident and prepared going in. Highly recommended!
