Step-by-step guide to our interview coaching service
Before your interview coaching session
Before your interview coaching session we will ask you to send some details to help your interview coach to prepare effectively, ensuring you get the most from your interview coaching session. Preparation will vary depending on whether you are using our Standard or Focused interview coaching service:
Standard Interview Coaching
With our Standard Interview Coaching service, we will ask you to send us a copy of your CV along with details of the type of job role and approximate salary level you are targeting. This will enable your interview coach to tailor your session to fit with the type of role, sector and career level you are aiming for.
Focused Interview Coaching
If you have selected our Focused Interview Coaching option, we will also ask you to send details of any roles you are being interviewed for. Your Interview Coach will spend time before your session assessing the Job Description / Person Specification for your target role(s). This will enable your coach to identify the exact questions you are likely to face in your upcoming interview.
Stage 1) Assessing your current skill level
At the beginning of your session your Interview Coach will discuss with you which areas of your interview technique you feel require the most work and what aspects of the interview you are feeling most anxious or stressed about. This will include discussing your your previous interview performance and any unsuccessful interviews you have attended to help analyse what went wrong and where you can improve.
Standard Interview Coaching
Your Interview Coach will then ask you some relevant test interview questions of the type you will be likely to face in a real interview. This will enable your Interview Coach to assess your current skill level effectively and highlight which areas require the most attention for you.
Focused Interview Coaching
With our Focused Interview Coaching option, your test questions will be based directly on the Person Specification for your target role and any information provided about your upcoming interview. This ensures your test questions will be as close as possible to the ‘real thing’.
Stage 2) Coaching to develop your interview skills
Next, your Interview Coach will provide detailed feedback on your answers to the test interview questions.
Standard & Focused Interview Coaching
With both our Standard & Focused Interview Coaching, this feed back will include:
- How well you listened to and understood the interview questions
- How well your examples demonstrated the relevant skills / competencies
- If you included all the required / relevant information in your answers
- If you provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate your skills, experience and achievements
- How well you delivered your answers
- If you interacted appropriately with the interviewer
- If you said or did anything likely to give a bad impression or put off interviewers
Once you and your Interview Coach have identified the key issues and areas you need help with, they will then work with you to improve your interview technique. This can include:
- Helping you to anticipate questions / skills likely to come up (to help you prepare)
- Preparation of standard answers to Tough Questions you may be asked at interview

Stage 3) Mock Interview to practice your new skills
Standard & Focused Interview Coaching
At the end of the session we can stage a short Mock Interview to allow you to benchmark your progress and practice your new techniques. Because we use real job interview questions throughout you can be assured that you will gain a realistic understanding of your interview performance has improved. Our clients find this one of the most helpful aspects of our interview coaching.

Your interview problems, solved….
We can assist with all aspects of the interview process but typically, clients who come to us for Interview Coaching are experiencing difficulty with one or all of the following:
Are you struggling to sell your skills and experience to interviewers effectively?
This could include being unsure about how to answer Competency Based or other tough interview questions, such as those on weaknesses, failures and other random questions intended to catch you out! We can also help you to ‘translate’ your experience effectively from one type of role to another, if you are changing career or moving back to employment from self-employment.
Unsure how to explain redundancy, employment gaps or a career change?
In the challenging economic climate of recent years, many people have been forced to change career paths following redundancy, take a break from work for health reasons or to undertake family care duties. We know it can be tough to explain these career moves at interview but our Interview Coaches can assist you to explain these types of transition and other career dilemmas in a way which will not put off interviewers.
Are you unsure about how to prepare for Assessment Centres?
Many of our clients are unfamiliar with what will be involved or how to prepare effectively for Assessment Centre exercises such as Presentations, In-Tray Exercises, Verbal Reasoning or Numerical Reasoning tests which form part of many modern interviews. We can help you to approach these tests with confidence and to prepare effectively for Graduate Scheme Assessments.
Are you out of practise or confused about what employers want?
Many of our Interview Coaching clients have been in the same role for many years and are now faced with the daunting prospect of facing a job interview to secure a new role. As a result, many are nervous about the whole interview process and what will be expected of them, as well as being unsure how to present themselves effectively to potential employers.
