Interview Coaching

You only have one chance to prove you’re the ideal candidate, and interview coaching can help you seize that opportunity and change your life for the better.

Our experts provide job interview coaching tailored to executives and professionals, including specialists in public, legal and IT sectors, so your coach will have the knowledge you need to succeed.

Maximise your Interview Performance

On paper, you may tick all the boxes, but with a market average of 27 applications to secure just one job interview, you must make the most of every opportunity. The best candidates are frequently beaten by more confident, compelling contenders.

It’s essential to maximise your interview performance to seal the deal – you only have one chance to prove you are the ideal candidate. Our interview preparation coaches will allow you to unlock the expertise and inside knowledge of an industry professional helping to secure that dream job that you have always been thinking about.

We also know that no two candidates are the same. We create a specific job interview coaching strategy for each individual. Our experienced interview coaches help plan for every type of interview at every level.

Why invest in interview training?

Successful interview techniques vary depending on the role you’re going for, the organisation you’re working in and the level of seniority you’re at. Interview coaching can help make sure you hit the exacting criteria around all of the above, helping you with things like:

Gaining additional confidence
Calming nerves
Developing self belief
Learning from constructive feedback and comments
Improving body language and interpersonal skills
Gaining inside industry knowledge
Mock interviews and interview ‘dry runs’

Interview Coaching Online

Our tailored one-to-one job interview coaching takes place online. You will see an immediate increase in your interview confidence so that you can convince the interviewer that you are the perfect fit.

Through job interview coaching, you will be able to access our insider knowledge of how corporate recruitment works. We know what makes recruiters tick, what impresses employers and how hiring decisions are made, both in the UK and internationally. We can advise you on how to demonstrate your ROI, cultural fit and potential to excel.
