About Us
|
HelpMeGetAnInterview, founded in 2001, is a service that gets you interviews with the world's best companies. The probability of being selected for interview by one of the top hundred employers in the country is, on average, no higher than 1 in 10, and for certain companies, for example, McKinsey, it is probably 1 in 50. We heard that in 2003 a top 3 investment bank had 15,000 applications by their November deadline for only 150 jobs - odds of 1 in 100 are frightening, and that's why you should not assume that you'll get interviews easily. |

The one thing that you cannot change is the academic record that you have achieved over the years. Everything else can be improved on. We do not know of a single employer who selects people just on academic grades. Generally employers use a scoring system for application forms where the marks awarded for academics count for between only 15-20% of the overall mark. HelpMeGetAnInterview focuses on the remaining 80-85% percent with the simple objective of getting you a score high enough to be selected for interview.

Our team of professionals has landed jobs with the best of the best, so we really know what we are talking about. We have studied each of the application forms of the best employers and have worked out how best to answer each question - we know what the recruiters are looking for and what you need to say to get interviewed. |
|
We also write interview-winning résumés and outstanding cover letters for you. Our cover letters are not the usual "one size fits all" style, but rather concise, specific documents tailored exactly for the business area you are targeting. Our fees are very low relative to the value of your lifetime earnings in your dream company. It's up to you to decide whether you are prepared to invest in yourself! If you have any questions, please Contact Us |

Joint statement by HelpMeGetAnInterview and Harrison Careers
So many people ask us about the relationship between our companies that we thought we would issue a joint statement clarifying the way we work together.
HelpMeGetAnInterview and Harrison Careers have a strong and long-established working relationship – we share many clients and recommend clients to each other.
Claire Crichton, who runs HelpMeGetAnInterview, is a non-executive director of Harrison Careers. Despite this relationship, we stress that HelpMeGetAnInterview and Harrison Careers are independent from each other, and particularly that:
- Harrison Careers does not get involved in checking or writing application form answers, cover letters or résumés; and
- HelpMeGetAnInterview does not offer interview coaching services.
HelpMeGetAnInterview and Harrison Careers do not compete with each other, nor does either company profit from the other’s success. Any decision by a client to use the services of HelpMeGetAnInterview makes no difference to Harrison Careers, and vice versa.
