We are all aware that preparing for an interview can be a stressful. While there is no shortage of tips available online on how to develop your interview skills. Will that alone suffice to distinguish you from your competition and enable you to highlight your unique value proposition?
Interview coaching provides you with a competitive edge. It goes beyond just preparing responses and predicting interview questions. It focuses on unleashing your capabilities and maximising your opportunities to stand out and succeed.
Having an experienced coach on your side can give you a competitive edge for your job interview. Their unbiased viewpoint can uncover hidden strengths and areas for growth. Tailoring your interview training to emphasise your experience and point out skills you may not have noticed before.
Throughout the interview coaching session I work with my clients through the interview process. This form of interview preparation has a proven track record resulting in successful interviews for my clients.
- Firstly working together on how you can properly highlight your qualifications and experience relevant to the role.
- Next, examine the relevant skills for the job and possible competency based interview questions that might be asked.
- Preparing answers to standard interview questions such as where do you see yourself in 5 years or what are your strengths and weaknesses.
- Advise on research you should be doing on the company to make you stand out.
- Insightful questions that you can ask at the end of the interview, to leverage your worth.
Ultimately, interview coaching is about giving you the tools to present the best version of yourself. They act as your interpreter, understanding what the employer is looking for and guiding you on how to speak their language.
They also serve as your guide, providing advice on boosting self-confidence and helping you recognise your own capabilities. Therefore, it is an investment in yourself and a small one relevant to the salary you will secure in your dream job.
