Interview Coaching
“I can’t thank Tracey enough for her time and expertise, and now feel that I have a much better approach to interview preparation that will be useful for the rest of my working life.”
Improve your interview confidence
You're a senior professional with superb skills and fantastic experience - but the thought of an interview fills you with dread.
Is this you...?
➡️ Prone to waffle and not confident articulating your skills and experience succinctly?
➡️ Very nervous in interviews and want to feel better prepared for those tricky questions?
➡️ Afraid your mind will go blank or you'll ramble on about nothing and turn the interview panel off?
I’m here to help
My mock interviews with pre and post-work get you confident, polished and ready for the real thing. During my long career, I:
interviewed hundreds of people whilst building my own high-performing teams
coached and mentored my senior team to develop their interviewing skills
became the 'go-to' person, in a business unit of 500 people, to advise on recruiting for attitude, not just skills
So I know a good - and bad - interview when I see one.
I now use that experience to get my clients 'interview ready', confident and clear.
I'll send you some exercises beforehand to get you thinking about what's important for your interview.
In our 2-hour, fully tailored session, I'll grill you on your skills, experience and motivation using various interview techniques. I'll give you feedback and advice, helping you to perfect your answers so that you go into any interview situation believing you can do it.
After our session, I'll send you the questions so you can practice some more with a friend, your answers for reference, and some general pointers from our time together.
If you need further support, I can arrange tailored additional session(s) to suit you.
My interview coaching service is for you, if:
✮ You're in a professional career from middle management up to director/executive level
✮ You struggle with nerves and ‘selling yourself’ in high pressure interview situations
✮ You haven’t had an interview for a long time and feel out of practice
✮ You’re prone to waffle and would like to give snappy, well thought out answers and examples instead
✮ You're modest, maybe an introvert, and don’t feel comfortable ‘bigging yourself up’
✮ You’d rather make your mistakes with a friendly face… before you get in front of a real interviewer with a real job opportunity
✮ You need a confidence boost, from an experienced, objective outsider who can make you shine
✮ You want to iron out all those little foibles that make you seem less competent in front of the interview panel
“I have had several interviews and I have secured a job. You helped me to sell myself and skills which was the aim! Thank you again for all your help.”
You get…
✮ PRE-WORK TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE OUR SESSION, to help you prepare and get you thinking about both you as a person and your achievements
✮ 2 HOURS OF INTERVIEW COACHING tailored to the role as far as possible (excluding technical-specific questions)
✮ SUPPORT IN CREATING A KILLER ‘PITCH’ to help you tell your career story with confidence
