Program Manager, International Development (Washington, D.C.)

"Prior to meeting Stuart I had a couple of unsuccessful interviews. I used to be very nervous about interviewing; my voice would shake and my palms would sweat… After completing the one-on-one coaching session with Stuart, I had a successful interview, which resulted in a job offer. I was very confident and calm throughout the interview because of the skills Stuart taught me. I recommend that you meet Stuart for a one on one interview coaching session. It’s a great investment for your career."

Pharmaceutical Sales Representative (California)

"Stuart Taylor taught me the ropes for all of my five interviews. I landed the job due to his comprehensive method and I still use his method today. Later in my career, he landed me another interview. Again, I landed the job. (I used his interview method for my in-house interview as well). Stuart Taylor has been instrumental in my success. I would highly recommend Stuart Taylor, he is a phenomenal resource."
