Interview coaching focuses you specifically on interview skills improvement with the aim of helping you make successful job applications. It is therefore related to
career coaching
and as such the services offered by the respective coaches may overlap.
Changing your job or career represents for many people a very important step in your life so investing in coaching can be very worthwhile to ensure you know how best to conduct yourself and market yourself at interview.
One to one coaching may focus on a number of different areas depending on your specific needs but can include:
Identifying what preparation a client needs to undertake for an interview
Identify the key messages they need to get across to help them best sell themselves
Development of listening skills to ensure the questions being asked are understood and answered effectively
Role playing and videoing of practice to identify strengths and areas for development
