Case Studies

Case studies shown here are Simone’s descriptions of roles she has played rather than the official descriptions of these projects

Research methods coaching

Research methods coaching of Katie Lockwood, for conducting her MA HRM dissertation project in Human Resource Management at Leeds University Business School

Individualised tuition helping a university postgraduate student hone specific skills in research methods and interview techniques for a project investigating the impact of social media networking on recruitment.

Approach

Katie Lockwood’s research required her to conduct semi-structured interviews with the Human Resources directors of a number of organisations, a task which was unfamiliar to her. She lacked knowledge of interview techniques and had no experience of interviewing unknown high-powered professionals. In order to address both of these issues, Simone worked with Katie on how to plan and conduct semi-structured interviews effectively and with confidence.

Outcomes

In less than two hours, Katie had mastered the principles of conducting a semi-structured interview, a skill which was vital to her dissertation research and which she has since used effectively and with confidence on many occasions.
