Interview Coaching
You might be perfectly comfortable doing your job, then find yourself struggling to explain it to a panel of strangers. Suddenly there’s a lot riding on how well you answer a question.
Interviews can feel awkward, artificial and nothing like the work itself. But if you want the job, you’ll probably have to get through one.
We’ll help you get clear on your pitch, why you’re relevant and the examples that back it up. We’ll also help you think about what you need from the role to do your best work, so you go in with useful questions of your own.
Talk to us about interview coachingA good interview isn’t only about having answers ready.
You need to be clear on what you want the employer to understand about you, why your experience is relevant and what backs that up.
You also need to know what you want to find out. The interview is one of your best opportunities to understand the work, the expectations and whether the role actually gives you what you’re looking for.
We’ll help you prepare for both: making your case clearly and getting the information you need to make your own decision.
You’ll receive a personalised preparation document bringing together the key points you want to get across, examples from your experience and the questions you want to ask.
Use it to prepare beforehand and as a reminder on the day.
“I was getting a decent hit rate with my own CV but was lacking confidence in how to present myself. Ben produced a high-quality CV that resulted in shortlisted interviews for over 90% of the jobs I applied for. Our interview coaching sessions covered how to prepare and formulate answers, mock questions and all the tricky stuff around how to sell yourself. I truly believe I wouldn’t have landed my dream job without that support.”

“The stellar CV got me in the door, and the interview coaching helped to focus on interview prep and practice short and succinct examples. I used just about all the examples I had prepped, had an excellent interview with a good flow of energy and asked some spot on questions at the end. Thanks for your coaching, a good investment in this tricky job market!!”

“Ben supported me through a successful application process. Despite more than 40 years of experience, I'd had little exposure to formal recruitment and found it daunting. With his help, I applied for two roles and was offered both. Ben developed my CV, wrote targeted cover letters and helped me prepare for each interview. His insight and support were invaluable, and I'd highly recommend Ben to anyone serious about improving how they approach finding work.”
