talking to a lot of people about the role, but you still haven’t created structured answers for specific skills or competency questions
previous interview experiences and want a new approach to present your answers and all you have to offer

I would have no hesitation in recommending Statia to a friend or colleague in the HSE or alternatively in another professional body. I recently sought Statia's assistance in my application and interviewing for a clinical post in the HSE Despite not having a clinical or hospital based background, Statia had in-depth knowledge of the position I was applying for and the preparation that would be required. I have no doubt that Statia's assistance with the application and the interview skills were a huge part in the successful outcome of my application.

Registered General and Children's Nurse HSE
Through her experience, Statia was able to give competent advice in all elements of my CV. From my own experience, it was clear that she has a solid understanding of what employers look for in a CV. After taking Statia's advice on board, I was fortunate enough to be offered 3 teaching jobs in the one week (one which I accepted and continue to work in) and continued to be called for interviews in other schools afterwards. If you want your CV to stand out, I really couldn't recommend Statia enough.

J Byrne,
Primary Teacher
Statia was a lovely person to deal with. She was professional, clear and concise in her feedback on my CV. She was spot on with interview format and questions that came up in my interview

About Statia

I was inspired to launch O’Carroll Careers through my interactions with the 1000’s of candidates I interviewed during my 25+ year career at Vhi, Great West Life and Cartoon Saloon. I often noticed that lots of candidates would have been stronger presenters had they sought the support of a career coach.

I am a graduate of the BA Human Resource Management at the National College of Ireland (NCIRL) and the Coaching Diploma at Technological University Dublin (TUD). I am an accredited Coach with European Mentoring Coaching Council (EMCC) Ireland and a Chartered Member of the Certified Institute of Personal Development (MCIPD).
