The process: - Information Gathering: I ask you questions about the about the job or career you desire, especially any obstacles you face or concerns you have about the interview. You provide job sample descriptions and your resume. If you like, you can suggest interview questions you'd like me to include.
- Crafting the Interview: I tailor a practice interview to simulate an actual interview. I'll include challenging questions specifically targeted to the job you seek.
- Providing Style & Substance Feedback: After your interview practice session, you receive honest feedback about your presentation style and substance.
- Offering Recommendations: I give you highly personalized recommendations on how to further prepare for the interview, including advice on how to become an expert on the organizations you are pursuing, so you can stand out from the competitors.
Case Interviews: If you anticipate a case study interview (generally for consulting and product marketing positions), this is my specialty! I can help you learn to "ace the case."
Interview practice sessions can be conducted: For your convenience and learning, you can receive an audio recording of your session. This will be emailed to you within 24 hours of your session. The recording allows you to listen to yourself, and to review the feedback and recommendations. The recording fee is just $20. interviews can be videotaped for $45, and will be converted to DVD and shipped to you within 7 days.
| | Testimonials "I found our mock interview session very helpful for putting me at ease for my interview, and particularly appreciated the suggestion you made about adding illustrative examples of any statements I made. Also, I enjoyed the practice in terms of the case questions you gave me." -- Mary G, San Francisco "I genuinely appreciated your honesty and the fact that you did not sugar coat your opinion - that happens too often in these situations - it definitely helped me to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. I also appreciated how specific you were in your feedback; I think your diligent notes allowed you to quote me and recall certain statements that were of interest in giving feedback. Finally, I felt that you were really enthusiastic and played the role of interviewer very well, which helped me focus and imagine myself in a real interview situation." -- Brian L, Oakland "Susan's interview coaching is sharp, real-life and absolutely will place you in the hot seat before you encounter it for real... making you that much more comfortable when you're in the interview that counts. I found her fun to work with, extremely versatile and flexible to the specific coaching I was looking for. Whether it's resume or cover letter work, career counselling or interview coaching, I think a few sessions with Susan would strengthen most people's pitches...it certainly contributed to my getting an offer from McKinsey." -- Rob S, San Francisco "In terms of feedback, I have only positive things to say: 1) You did a great job of asking a number of different types of questions, and also making them relevant to the company and the job that I was interviewing for. 2) You did a great job of lifting my confidence. I was very nervous about my upcoming job interview before I arrived at your office, and felt quite a bit better once I met with you. 3) Your feedback was also very balanced, with some constructive criticism. Everyone you meet with is probably different and reacts to criticism in different ways, but you had suggestions for 'things to improve on' as well as suggestions for ways to improve/practice new techniques." -- Sandy G., New York City |
