Job Interview Coaching

"You did a great job ; your picture on the website is nice looking and mild; but you are tough to work with; of course I appreciated. "
Colonel Seck; West Africa

Every time I meet a hiring manager and tell them what I do, they always say, "Wow, you should have coached the person I interviewed yesterday, they were terrible!" The manager isn't saying that the person wasn't qualified for the job, but that they didn't interview well, and THAT's why they didn't get the job.

Nobody wants to be that interviewee.

It's not a dream to walk into a job interview and feel completely prepared! I can coach you through my teleseminars, one-on-one coaching or you can start by reading my booklet Successful Job Interviews REVEALED! Here's the process I'll coach you through as my client.
  • You'll have a very good idea of the questions that THEY'RE going to ask,
  • You have some great questions in mind to ASK THEM.
  • You'll learn how to handle the salary question.
  • You'll know how to answer the "Tell me about yourself." question (and YES it will always be asked).
  • You'll be able to talk about your experiences without rambling on for 10 minutes, and you'll learn what details employers need to understand your past work experiences.
  • You'll learn how to answer the "Tell me your greatest weakness" question without admitting a fear of snakes, allergic reactions or affinity for sleeping in late. You can train for this question and I'll show you how to be honest and not lose the job.
  • You'll no longer be afraid of the phrase Behavioral Interview.
  • You'll get a good night's sleep the night before because you'll be confident in knowing what to expect in the interview.
  • We'll discuss your past interview nightmares and I'll teach you how to avoid them in the future. (P.S. Not every bad interview is your fault--there are bad, bad interviewers out there).
  • I WON'T put you through an endless list of questions which you may or may not be asked, but will work to prepare your sound bites of your best experiences.
What you REALLY need is to show the real YOU! You need to be personable and friendly. What manager is going to hire a cookie-cutter perfect person with a cardboard personality?

Here's the method that makes me DIFFERENT from other job interview and resume coaches out there.

I'll talk you through the acronym TODAY that helps you think of examples to discuss in an interview.
T: Teamwork: Times when you worked on or lead a team.
O: Overcoming Obstacles: Examples of challenges that you worked hard to overcome. Why were they important to you?
D: Duties of Past Positions: How your past jobs will help you excel in the one you're applying for.
A: Achievements: What goal(s) did you achieve? How are you better than the other candidates?
Y: Your Strengths and Weaknesses: These questions are going to be asked, we'll discuss how to answer them.

Make it easy for an interviewer to know if you have the skills and experience to fit with the job requirements. An interviewer also wants to LIKE you because once you get the job, you'll end up spending a LOT of time together.

Unfortunately most people have one or more of the following challenges:
  1. Don't know what experiences an interviewer would be interested in hearing,
  2. Don't give an interviewer enough details about their past experiences.
  3. Are so nervous that they never relax enough to share a genuine smile.
There are 2 things you need to do to prevent the situation above:
  1. Take time to identify what experiences you've had that an interviewer would be interested in hearing. (the TODAY method of identifying meaningful experiences.)
  2. How to accurately and descriptively tell those experiences to an interviewer.
Getting feedback from friends and loved ones isn't enough when you need to land that perfect job. Chances are that they've heard your success and failure stories a million times and can fill in the gaps for themselves. You need an impartial, experienced coach to give you the feedback you need. You also need a way to prepare that gives you the confidence to answer ANY question.

The goal of my coaching is to turn job interviews into conversations instead of interrogations. The only way that will happen is if you are prepared.

Here's the top 5 things I'll teach you, GUARANTEED!

1. The importance of establishing rapport during the interview and avoiding the "Walk of Silence."
2. What prospective employers are REALLY looking for (and how to show 'em ya got it!)
3. How to know what to tell and employer about your experiences, and how to say it.
4. What to say when you just don't know.
5. How to answer those sticky "where do you want to be in 5 years-type" questions.

How many perfect jobs and salaries are you going to lose before you ask for help?

TESTIMONIALS

Here's what some of my clients have said about my classes and job interview coaching:

"I got a lot out of this course. As I am beginning to send out my resume, Melanie showed us and gave examples of how to maximize our skill-set and experience by formulating "sound bites." These sound bites will help me to be more candid with any question I might be asked, and my thoughtful responses might help the interviewer connect with me better." --G. Rust, Stamford, CT

"Just wanted to commend you on an awesome programming effort today! I know how difficult it is to get residents to attend a program that is more educational and career-based, especially underclassmen. But even with my own experience and knowledge of having worked in the Career Center for a couple of years, I still found the presentation to be informative and refreshing. I think that the guys that came took something away from it....I think that the quality of the whole program was very nice." --M. Mendolera, St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY

You were engaging and the participants were actively involved and gained insightful information and a plan to help their efforts in the job search process. The acronym TODAY was certainly on target and will serve our trainees in the next phrase of their development.
Thank you again. I look forward to working with you again in the future. --Jeanette M. Hart, Training Program Manager, Urban League of Southwestern Connecticut, Inc.
