Interview coaching

Interview coaching to improve communication, confidence, technique and credibility

Do you need some coaching on interview skills?

Although you get to the interview stage, you never manage to get that job for some reason, and you do not know what you are doing wrong. It can be hard to get feedback after interviews, so having independent interview advice can be hugely helpful.

Maybe you get nervous at interviews or feel you hate them?

Do you tell yourself, “I hate interviews and I am not good at them?” Or interview nerves are an issue for you. Perhaps you freeze or clam up at the mere thought of an interview?

Perhaps you need help with different types of interviews?

You don’t know what behavioural interviewing is or what a competency-based interview is and how to answer these types of questions? Or, you have not been for an interview for a while and need to update your skills for interviews.

What if you could be more confident at interviews?

Interviews do not have to be something you fear or have interview nerves about. They can be enjoyable if you get the right interview skills training.

I offer specialised coaching to build confidence and master various interview types, including competency-based and behavioural interviews. My approach focuses on preparation, presentation, and practice, ensuring you're well-prepared to stand out. You'll learn to:

  • Write effective CVs and application forms.
  • Prepare for face-to-face and online interviews.
  • Overcome interview nerves.
  • Master ‘STAR’ competency questions.
  • Demonstrate positive body language.

Interview coaching works best if you have an interview coming up or have job descriptions of positions you are interested in applying for. You will be asked to do some initial preparation before we meet. Each session is tailored to your needs, ensuring you're the best-prepared candidate for your desired job.

Depending on your needs and requirements, we would cover the following:

  • Coaching in essential interview skills, so that you feel confident in your interview

  • Explaining what competency interviewing and behavioural interviewing is and how they work
  • Consider the types of questions relevant to the types of positions you are bein interviewed for
