Tina Kinirons - Interview Coach

TKServices.ie provides interview supports for Ireland’s Public Sector candidates. My unusual Irish surname is pronounced “Kin”+“Irons”!

I share practical tips from having chaired thousands of interviews through one-to-one coaching, workbooks & e‑course.

🤔🎯 Wondering how to perform well at a capability‑based interview? These tips are based on my experience shortlisting and chairing capability‑based interviews.

🌟 This week’s tip, the thirteenth in the series, continues the focus on areas interviewers explore at capability‑based interviews, with this week’s post covering motivation. Next week I’ll cover interests. That will then complete the tips on Skills, Strength, Knowledge, Values, Motivation and Interests, a key part of the Capability Framework.

🛟 My capability workbook and the e‑course are linked in the comments below if you would like more support for your interview preparation.

🙋‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️ Got a question you'd like me to cover in a future post or something to add to this week's post? Please add it in the comments or message me.

🤝☺️ I’m very fortunate to have my colleague Bernie Stevenson working with our clients as an interview coach. We’ve worked together for years supporting candidates across the Civil and Public Service.

👏 Bernie has helped so many clients strengthen their application forms and prepare with confidence for interview, with excellent results.

🗓 She’s available to work with clients from mid‑September. You can book her online through tkservices.ie.

💬 Here’s a little more about Bernie and the impact of her coaching.

I took some time off in August and enjoyed breaks in Cork, Newcastle (Co. Down) and Denmark.

This week has been a full return to work with interview preparation coaching and application reviews (especially forms for the new Open HEO competition).

My colleague Bernie has availability from mid September and I have availability later in the month. Everything else is already booked.

I’ll be back to regular posting here next week. I’ll be continuing the capability based interview tips and I have a backlog of recent interview successes to share from both my clients and Bernie’s.

If there is an interview angle you would like covered in future tips, please let me know.
