  • Super insightful!

    I recently came across HR Coffee Time while preparing for a job interview and listened to Episode 50 “How to Impress in a Competency Based Interview”. Fay explained everything so articulately and made answering in the “STAR” structure easy and relatable. After many failed interview attempts in the past, the pod really helped me understand where I was falling short and now I’ve been offered the job! Thanks Fay!

  • Love this podcast!

    I love this podcast and find it so helpful for guidance in progressing my career and knowledge. As most people are, I’m busy with work and family so time to sit and read is limited - this podcast allows me to still make time to learn and reflect. Fay is such a brilliant and knowledgeable host who presents so clearly and lovely. I also find the notes from the podcast a massive help with various links and resources mentioned. Definitely recommend ☺️

    Hi Fay, loved that bit about dyslexia with Kirsty Heap. I resonated with what you mentioned about the need to be inclusive and supportive especially with your dyslexic colleagues. Left you 5-star ratings and reviews!
