Whether you're leaving school at 16 or completing a PhD, at some point, you’ll need to be authentically you for interviews. These are crucial moments that could open the door to your dream career. But with so many candidates competing for the same position, how do you ensure you stand out? How do you transform your qualifications and experiences into something truly unique that captures the interviewer’s attention?


Did you know that schools and further education establishments (in England) are required by the Government to offer career advice and guidance. The Department for Education recently updated their Statutory Guidance for education providers about offering career guidance to their students. However, this information is factual and lacks a crucial element.


The reality is that schools, colleges, and universities—while excellent in arming you with knowledge and facts—often fall short in teaching one crucial element: you. They don't teach you how to differentiate yourself in a crowded job market. They don't explain how you work as an individual or why you make the decisions you do. That's where Levelation comes in.


The Missing Link: Be Authentically You For Interviews


At Levelation, we believe that the key to standing out isn’t just in the technical skills or degrees you’ve earned, but in a deeper understanding of yourself. It’s not enough to be good at something. You need to know why you’re good at it, what drives you, and how to harness that energy in every situation—whether it's an interview, a new role, or even the decisions you make in life.


Our Career Starter Energiser Program is designed to help you unlock that potential. It's more than just preparing you for a job interview; it's about discovering what makes you unique and using that knowledge to thrive not just in work but in life. With our help, we will help you truly understand what makes you passionate, and what doesn't. Armed with this deeper understanding of yourself we are confident that you will be authentically you for interviews, making you stand out from the vast array of other candidates.


Understanding Your Strength Energisers

Have you ever thought about what excites you most in life? What makes you tick? Our program helps identify your strength energisers—the traits and activities that naturally fuel your motivation and passion. These aren’t just your strengths or weaknesses in a conventional sense; they are the core aspects of yourself that light you up.


Some people are energised by solving complex problems, while others find their motivation in leading teams or building relationships. By identifying these strengths, you can better understand the environments where you'll excel and the type of work that will bring out your best self. Imagine walking into an interview and being able to confidently say, "Here’s what excites me, here’s what I’m naturally great at, and here’s how that will benefit your company."


Not Just Another Candidate


In a competitive job market, many candidates have similar qualifications and technical skills. What will truly set you apart is knowing how to leverage your natural strengths. By doing so, you’re not just another applicant with a resume full of achievements—you’re someone who is self-aware, purpose-driven, and capable of making a real impact.


At Levelation, we help you go beyond the standard checklist of interview preparation. We help you discover the parts of your personality and work style that get you excited, and, perhaps even more importantly, the aspects of life and work that drain your energy. Knowing this can shape how you approach interviews, career decisions, and even life’s challenges.


Confidence Through Self-Knowledge

Imagine knowing yourself so well that you can walk into any job interview, not only understanding your own value but feeling excited to share it. This is what we help you achieve—confidence through self-knowledge. When you can articulate what drives you, why you excel in certain areas, and how your strengths align with the role you're pursuing, interviewers will take notice.


This goes beyond ticking off a list of "strengths" and "weaknesses." It's about truly understanding you and what brings you joy, so that you can pursue a career aligned with your values and spirit. Not just a job, but a career that excites you every day.


More Than Work: Applying Your Energisers to Life


Our approach doesn’t stop at career development. Life is full of moments where understanding your strengths will serve you. From tackling personal challenges to making big life decisions, knowing what drives you will help you navigate every twist and turn with confidence.


The workplace, like life, is full of both opportunities and obstacles. With a strong understanding of your assets, you can confidently tackle situations that would otherwise leave you feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. You'll have a clear sense of where you excel and what to focus on, helping you overcome challenges with purpose.


Be Authentically You For Interviews: Testimonials


Strength energisers truly make a difference, however don't take our word for it! Here are a couple of testimonials from previous clients who have truly benefitted from discovering their true self:


Jess Wrote:

''I'm currently working as an au pair in Spain  and have also been doing lots of tutoring online, this has made me realise that I would like to teach at least for a few years so that I can continue travelling so I am taking an online TEFL course.


The strengths session really helped me when I was making my CV for the tutoring because I was able to write myself without just sticking to specific skills and qualifications, I think it will also be helpful when I have to do interviews for the same reason. It also has helped me with my work because I have focused more time and energy on the parts of the job that I see as my strengths e.g., getting creative with lesson planning, this has helped me to enjoy teaching more and (I think) has made me a better teacher as well.''


Cole Wrote:

“This has given me more than the careers conversations at school as it’s not just about the type of job I could do. It showed me how to approach work in a way that I will enjoy and do well in too. I now understand my strengths, what they mean and how to focus my CV and interview answers on my best qualities and give examples to support it too. Before, I didn’t know what I was going to say to employers other than my exam grades and hobbies. Now I’ve been able to confidently talk about my natural strengths and use them every day. I was offered the first position I applied for, and I know that working with Levelation definitely helped me achieve that.”
