Is Interview Coaching Worth It?

“Do I need interview coaching services? Is it really worth it?” You ask yourself. It’s an important question that only you can answer and an important decision to make for your career.

Look at it this way . . .

No one in the sporting world would ever consider competing without a coach. A football team doesn’t win the match without a coach. The biggest tennis stars always have their coaches present at the match. Any sport in the world, whether team or solo, has a coach to lead the players. They provide guidance in competition—and in life.

So what exactly does an interview coach do? They are trained professionals who can teach you various strategies for the interview process, as well as providing feedback from practice scenarios.

Let’s discuss the benefits of interview coaching;

1. Go into your next interview knowing how interviewers evaluate you.

So many people go into interviews overthinking their answers. They do this because they are trying to look good for the interviewer.

 Usually the end result from this is that they speak in generalities that do not answer the questions. Interview coaching uses the knowledge of a Certified Interviewer who has conducted 100s of interviews to effectively craft the message of your career story. This inside knowledge will equip you with clarity around how interviewers value specifics.

2. You can get rid of the anxiety in a practice run.

The first time we do anything, it is perfectly normal to be anxious.  The same goes for interviews. After you get the first one out of the way, you can start to recognize patterns of how it feels to be in an interview. The second time you do it, you will be more comfortable.

This is because you know the feeling and patterns of the interview setting. Interview coaching can help you get the ‘first interview nerves’ out of the way. Every client that has a mock interview goes into their next interview comfortable. 

3. The investment is worth it

The investment is small when compared to the return on investment you’ll receive on securing a job – it’s a worthwhile financial investment that you can take with you through your career.

4. Build a lasting mindset that will lead you to sustained success.

There is a mindset that leads your interview success. People who succeed in interviews have a bias for action and don’t sit on the sidelines. Understanding this mindset pays off in your career and life after the interview is over. It brings clarity to what it means to be an action-oriented person. Once you get that job offer, this mindset will help you maintain success in the job. It pays off in your personal life too!
