  • previous interview experiences and want a new approach to present your answers and all you have to offer 

  • highlighting your competency and skills, but still feeling unsure with communicating your strengths and achievements

  • I was looking to apply for an internship and had no idea where to start. I got in contact with Statia and it was the best decision I ever made. She firstly helped me with my CV and cover letters, editing them to make them professional and suitable for my applications. With her help just from this part alone, I received many invitations to interviews including my dream internship. She then helped me prepare for these interviews, practicing professionalism and giving great advice. We did multiple practice interviews which were very accurate to the actual interviews. I ended up getting an offer not only to my dream internship but for multiple other internship positions also.

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).
