Interview Coaching
I develop a custom interview for you for one target position. Usually, the custom question set includes typical interview questions (not role-specific), questions about your resume/background, qualifications for the chosen target job, company and industry knowledge, and wrap-up questions. In addition, I include a mix of informational questions, behavioral questions, and stumpers (hard-to-answer, illegal, or confusing questions) to help you decide how to respond when and if these types come up.
The interview is divided into two parts:
- A 60-minute interview, with customized questions, developed based on the skills you want to practice and drawing on your resume and target job.
- A 60-minute debriefing session, where we break down what went well, what didn’t, and what we can do about it.
We also typically spend some time discussing how you may have answered behavioral questions so you can be sure you have good situational examples and explain them in a straightforward, concise, and compelling way.
The interview is held via Zoom.
- I will record the video and send you a link after the meeting so you can watch the video.
- I also use an automated transcription app to capture the conversation and generate a transcript.
- After the practice interview, I will review the recording, read through the transcript, and clean up the transcription.
- I then revise the transcription, add feedback on your delivery, and advise you on how to “re-map” your answers for clarity, length, and impact. I will also add notes based on our debrief session and anything else I noticed during the review. For most interviews, the transcript is 50+ pages.
- I will send you a list of resources and tips for improving your interviews.
- This package requires 2 hours of prep work, 2 hours for the practice interview, and approximately 8 hours of reviewing and editing your transcript and communicating with you via email.
Due to the extended preparation, time spent, and follow up necessary, practice interviews are billed at a higher rate than 1-on-1 coaching. Current rates are outlined in the Menu of Services each client receives upon scheduling their intake meeting.
