Thank you for visiting our website. Please note that we are currently fully booked for 1:1 sessions until November 2025.
You can never be too prepared for an interview and the key to success is preparation and practice. Preparation and interview practice can be an effective way of overcoming interview nerves – if you know that you have done everything within your power to prepare for an interview you will feel more at ease in an interview situation. You may have a position with a new organisation in mind or perhaps you are applying for an internal role or a promotion with your current organisation.
What does a typical Interview Skills Coaching/ Interview Preparation session cover?
- The Interview Skills Coaching session normally starts with a review of your previous interview experiences with your interview coach. This is an important step as most individuals have both positive and negative experiences. We will identify the positive feedback to take on board, explore interviews where you were not as successful and pin point the key learning points.
- Discuss the role/ organisation that you are applying to and identify the steps in the interview process and what you will need to prepare for.
- Review your plans in terms of interview preparation and assess if there are additional steps that can be added in. As so many interviews are taking place online via video conference currently we will also cover how to prepare for an online interview.
- We will then move to a simulated/ practice interview where questions will be tailored to the specific role and organisation that you are applying to. You will have the opportunity to answer competency/ behavioural questions using the STAR-R (Situation/ Task/ Action/ Result/ Reflection) approach. More and more organisations are using competency/behavioural questions as standard in their interview process – preparation and practice is key here.
- You will be given detailed feedback on all of your answers from the simulated/ practice interview and we will identify areas that you did well in and areas for improvement. You will go away from the session with key areas to work on to ensure that you are fully prepared for your upcoming interview. A recording of the online practice interview can be sent to you also should you so wish.
