INTERVIEW AND CAREER COACH
Meet Margaret Buj
Interview Coach • International Recruiter • Career Strategist • LinkedIn Top Voice
If you’re not getting the interview results you want – or your experience isn’t being recognised the way it should be – you’re in the right place.
I’m Margaret Buj, an interview coach and international recruiter. I help professionals communicate their value clearly, confidently, and convincingly so they can land the roles they truly want.
Whether you’re preparing for a high-stakes interview, pursuing a promotion, or making a career transition, I show you how to position yourself as the obvious choice.
Since starting my recruitment career in 2005 and building my coaching practice shortly after, I’ve coached thousands of job seekers across the UK, Europe, the US, and beyond – from ambitious graduates to senior managers and C-suite leaders in both the private and public sectors.
My career advice has been featured in Forbes, The Financial Times, Business Insider, The Guardian, Fox Business, CIO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, and many other leading publications. I am also recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice, awarded to only a small percentage of professionals on the platform.
Are you struggling to land your dream job in today’s competitive job market? Look no further! I’m Margaret Buj, and I specialise in helping professionals like you get hired, promoted, and earn the income you deserve.
Since 2006, I’ve successfully coached over a thousand job seekers to secure the positions they truly desired. My expertise has been recognised by media outlets such as Forbes, Business Insider, CIO Magazine, Financial Times, Cosmopolitan, and Fox Business, solidifying my reputation as a leading authority in the industry.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking at prestigious career events and conferences in diverse locations such as London, Monaco, Athens, and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, I’ve conducted impactful training sessions and workshops, empowering individuals to conquer the challenges of the job market.
However, my journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Two decades ago, armed with a Master’s in Marketing and Management, I faced unemployment and countless rejections. It was a friend’s advice and changes to my resume that turned the tide, leading me to secure my first recruitment job within 4 weeks.
A Unique Blend of Recruitment & Coaching Expertise
Alongside my coaching work, I’ve worked as a recruiter across all major corporate functions — including finance, operations, HR, marketing, technology, commercial roles, and the public sector. I’ve interviewed and assessed candidates at every level and reviewed tens of thousands of CVs.
This gives me a dual perspective that most coaches don’t have:
- I know exactly how hiring decisions are made
- I know what strong answers sound like – and what derails candidates
- I know how to turn real experience into compelling interview stories
- I know what makes someone stand out in competitive processes
I bring all of that insider knowledge directly into my coaching.
My Approach
My coaching is practical, direct, and results-focused. I combine:
- Real-world recruitment insights
- Proven behavioural interview frameworks
- Practical communication techniques
- Direct, honest feedback
- Personalised guidance tailored to your industry and role
I don’t believe in scripts or generic responses. Instead, I help you:
identify your unique strengths
choose the right stories that show measurable impact
articulate your expertise clearly and concisely
communicate with confidence, credibility, and ease
perform at the level your experience deserves
Clients appreciate my clear, practical guidance and the insider perspective I bring from years of recruitment experience.
