Our interview coaching services are personalised and tailored to each candidate. We’re here to help you present your best self to the interviewing team of the business or organisation you want to work for when it matters.

In the current economic climate, competition for jobs is particularly intense. If your CV is already marking you out as an outstanding candidate so much so that you’re getting invited for interview, you need to follow that through face to face, online, and over the phone with your interviewers.

Our professional one to one interview coaching service provides you with:

• Interview preparation techniques – we’ll show you how to build a genuine rapport with the person or people interviewing you as well as teaching you the techniques you need to stay focused, stay calm, and stay in control of yourself. We use the STAR technique to help you structure your answers to competency-based interview questions.
• Mock interviews with live feedback – our interview coaches will analyse the job description of the role you want and they’ll prepare the sample questions and situations you’re likely to face at interview based upon the job you’re applying for and the industry you want to work in. During each session, we’ll share with you constructive feedback on every aspect of your performance including how you handled the difficult-to-answer questions.
• Different types of interview – the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated a trend which was already underway – the move towards initial interviews being conducted remotely. We can assist you in making the best impression possible by sharing with you our approach to online interviews and phone interview preparation.
• Job-specific training – we look at the job you’re being interviewed for and we create practice interview questions based around the job and the organisation you’ll be working for.
• How to answer the question – whether the interview you’re preparing for is strength-based, competency-based, blended, or more freeform, we’ll show you the best way to answer the questions you’re asked in a way which clearly demonstrates your skills and the value you’ll bring to your prospective employer. You will be clearly understood & heard.
• Ongoing support – following the end of our session, we’re there to support you by email and telephone on your job search.

How you benefit from our approach

• Self-understanding – with our service, you’ll begin to truly appreciate how much value you actually bring to an employer as you understand better the skills you have and how you’ve used them in the past. The more confident you are that you can do the job you’re being interviewed for, the more confident you’ll be at the interview.
• A variety of approaches and techniques – our team of coaches have significant experience in both interviewing candidates and training candidates for interview. They have interviewed literally thousands of people and understand what companies are looking for during the interview process. Learn from them the different approaches you can take to answering interviewers’ questions and choose the approach which works best for you.
• An action plan for now and in the future – with the insights, knowledge, and techniques you learn from our course, you’ll be fully prepared for the interview that’s coming up and for other interviews in the future.

I work in positions which require competency based interviews. Can you help?

Competency-based interviews have grown in popularity in recent years as employers use them to try to predict how you’ll perform in a role you’ve applied for by better understanding the skills you have and how you’ll behave in given situations.

We have over a decade of experience helping candidates successfully handle competency-based interview questions including the commonly-used STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) technique (sometimes called behavioural interviewing). Please contact us to find out more.

Do you provide mock interview training sessions before I get an actual interview?

Yes – practising how you respond to answers is important whenever you’re preparing for an interview. Mock interview training features in all of our interview preparation session options.

Which types of interview do you provide coaching for?

As well as for a standard face to face interview, we help candidates prepare for any online interview they’ve been asked to take part in by a prospective employer as well as with telephone interview preparation.

Why is one to one interview coaching better than interview preparation tips available online?

There are plenty of sites available which give job interview tips as well as career advice – there’s even an interview preparation app. However, they all give simple and generic advice on how to prepare for an interview – they’re as personalised as daily horoscopes you see in newspapers.

One to one interview coaching is different – it’s interview technique coaching specific to you, your strengths, your areas for improvement, your career to date, and how you wish your career to develop. The interview training tips we give you allow you to successfully present yourself to an interviewer as the right candidate for the role and will help you secure the job you deserve.
