Interview Preparation

Do you perform poorly at interviews and feel like it is holding you back? Or maybe you have not had many interviews before and you want to become more comfortable with the process. Our coaching for interviews can help people who experience interview nerves by discussing ways of handling nerves, and help clients see interviews as an experience to be enjoyed rather than feared!

I work remotely with people from all over Ireland – from Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick and everywhere in between.

Interview Coaching: What is involved?

This service includes a 90 minute interview coaching session. When scheduling the interview coaching the client will have an opportunity to upload their CV, a job description and if there is anything they want to coach to know in advance. The coach will use these documents to research and prepare possible interview questions in advance of the coaching session.

In advance of the session the client will receive an interview tips handout that allows them to do some preparation in advance of the session to get the maximum benefit out of the interview coaching.

During the session, the coach and client will establish the client’s goal (e.g. learn to deal with nerves, learn how to answer certain questions, get feedback on how they answer interview questions, practice answering difficult questions).

Typical topics covered during an interview preparation session include:

• Different types of questions, including competency-based question (and the STAR framework for answering them), motivational questions, commercial awareness and challenging questions and ways to deal with them
• How to predict likely interview questions
• Best way of preparing for interviews
• Ways of overcoming interview nerves
• Appropriate questions to ask the interviewer in an interview

For clients who want practice and feedback on delivering answers, a mock interview will be conducted, where the coach asks the clients questions they anticipate may come up in interview. The coach will give the client feedback on their answers as the mock interview progresses, allowing the client to improve as the session goes on.

The coach and client will discuss and agree on action points for the client to work on to continue their interview performance. After the session you will receive a summary of what was covered in the session and a copy of the agreed action plan.
