How it Works

Partner with an interview expert to thoroughly prepare for your interview with a proven strategy backed by hiring insights. You’ll learn how to answer the tough questions, increase your confidence, decrease your interview nerves, position yourself as the best candidate for the job, interface successfully with Human Resources, and increase your chances of landing an offer! Interview Coaching is also great for those times you do not have an interview scheduled but anticipate interviews in the future and want to gain some extra time and practice

Who You Are

You have an interview in the near future and need some urgent job interview practice!
It’s been a while since the last time you interviewed and you want to dust off the cobwebs
You’re not sure about the best way to communicate your awesome resume achievements without sounding like you’re bragging
You need some strategies for ensuring you’ve covered all of your biggest selling points in the interview conversation and addressed any red flags or HR hot buttons successfully
You are beyond nervous and perhaps even lacking in confidence. You’re not sure how to build yourself up or feel “in control” when you walk into the interview

Interview Quick Prep

One 1-Hour Session

This laser-focused session works best when you have limited time to prepare and want to be sure you’ve covered all your bases before walking into the interview. This works best for folks who are fairly confident and comfortable with interviewing but just need a quick run-through to dust off any cobwebs.

*For rusty or first-time interviewers we recommend the Interview Prep & Practice package as it includes this coaching program as well as mock job interviewing for optimum comfort levels and confidence on the day of your big interview.

Interview Prep & Practice

Three 1-Hour Sessions

This interview coaching program is similar to the Interview Quick Prep but over a greater period of time to aid in calming of nerves and increase confidence through extra practice. This is our most comprehensive and robust coaching program simply because you have more time with your coach and the more practice the better when it comes to acing interviews! In partnership with our interview expert, you will cover:

SESSION 1: You will cover all of the components/topics included in the Interview Quick Prep coaching program
SESSION 2: You will have the opportunity to review/touch on any questions/uncertainties from the first session. Significant time will be devoted to the mock interview/feedback process so that you can have a more thorough run-through of questions/feedback – simulating the interview conversation as closely as possible. During the mock interview, your coach will provide a solid mix of questions including the usual suspects, standard, tricky, intimidating and behavioral based questions.
Between your 2nd and 3rd sessions, you will have the opportunity to internalize and apply feedback from your mock interview into revised answers. You will also have time to practice your new responses for added confidence and ease of response in the final session
SESSION 3: You will simulate a second mock interview, delivering your new revised answers. Your coach will focus on questions that presented problems in the first mock interview as well as some unexpected new questions to ensure you have learned how to apply the basic answering strategies from the prior 2 sessions. This creates an optimal approach for the client especially if interview nerves, rambling, answer structuring, and confident delivery are part of your main concern.

This is for me!

Interview Standout Strategy

Compensation & Negotiation Coaching

1 Session + 1 Hour of email Q&A support during the negotiation process

*In order to optimize your negotiation, it is important to receive this coaching before your interview (before salary is discussed and before an offer is extended by the interviewer).

Do you know your worth? Are you prepared to ask for what you need to make you happy in your next role? A new job is great but without a well-constructed comp plan or negotiation process expertise, you are likely to start a new job earning much less than your worth!

Partner with a hiring expert to learn your market value, structure your comp package accordingly, and manage the entire negotiation process with ease.
