Interview Intensive
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.
