Glorious news, Marty Martin! They chose me for the position! Yeah!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The BIG MC has done it again for someone...me!!!!
Your information on the STAR(L) model, the lighting for the computer webcam, and "this is a conversation" to show how I can articulate your skills and compatibility to the organization was spot on. The videos helped along with practicing, practicing, practicing. All of this helped me to garner my thoughts to be calm and comfortable talking about myself and what I could bring to the table.
Sometimes interviews can be a "dread" and appear to be a game, but often it is not about the questions that are asked but the tone, inflictions, and the personality that will come through in the answers to the questions. An applicant will not really know all the answers to the interview questions asked, but the #COMPETENCYBASEDINTERVIEWS structure helps to articulate your answers perfectly.
I think the CV/resume gets you in the door. The #Competency-Based Interview gets you the job/career.
Thanks again

It's my great pleasure to recommend Martin Cunningham.
In preparing my Ph.D. research activities I approached Martin as a subject matter expert to review some aspects in terms of competency-based interviews.
Martin's enthusiasm, positive energy, and coaching led and helped me identify concrete next steps and the right actions toward my dissertation goal.
His expertise in competency-based coaching provided valuable suggestions on how to improve my research study.
He helped me understand, develop, and align the interview questions for my phenomenological study of leadership competencies.
Martin is a fully dedicated expert in leadership competency.
His diverse approaches to new challenges help promote new perspectives and provide timely, actionable and focused feedback.
He is clearly an expert in his field!

Utterly committed to getting his clients where they need to be, Martin exhibits a rare combination of excellent judgment, patience, empathy, and unrelenting rigour.
I started working with Martin when I couldn't get past the first round of pupillage interviews for the bar. He was able to sort that out very quickly with some very tangible pointers on how I was presenting.
He's a good listener, who gives his clients time to get out their story while maintaining focus on the big picture.
Not only was he able to give me advice on my interview technique and presentational skills, he was also able to provide invaluable substantive input.
He brings a wealth of experience in career mentoring, interview skills, and the rule of law and justice sectors.
If you've been banging your head against a brick wall for years, or just need that push to get you from good to great, Martin's your guy.

The course that Martin offers provides deep and profound knowledge alongside with some practical tips.
There is plenty of information around about how to prepare for a job interview but it's very rare to see such a structural and detailed approach.
Strongly recommend!

I have known Martin for many years and worked with him whilst we both served with Kent Police.
Martin recently provided me with some excellent advice and guidance as I commenced setting up my own business. Set me off with a bit of work to do but all so worthwhile. I cannot recommend enough Martin and the services he can offer. Definitely, a worthwhile investment for me and I am sure I will be seeking further guidance as I progress.

Being thankful is a small word to describe my gratitude towards Martin. In such a short amount of time, he provided me with so much knowledge that I surpassed my own mental barriers. Martin is an empathetic and kind person, and he is on a personal growth journey which makes everyone around him grow into their best selves. I am truly thankful that I found Martin at the right time in my career. With his kindness and wisdom, I could see what I can do. My professional journey is just started and from now onwards, I know whom I can look up to when I need to take the next step. Talk to him once and you will know what I am talking about.

Highly useful and highly recommended- Thank you Martin.

I sought guidance from Martin with regard to essay writing across a broad spectrum of subjects, including risk and threat management and terrorism related matters.
His knowledge and grasp of all matters is second to none and his ability to convey the key aspects in a clear and powerful way has proved invaluable and has set me on my journey of education in a way that I didn’t think possible at times.
I am extremely grateful and cannot recommend his application and communication skills highly enough.
