Reading about job interviewing and not practicing is like going from the library to the ball park expecting to perform like a champion.
A professional Job Interview Coach will prepare you for success by conducting a practice mock interview over the telephone or by SKYPE. You then get immediate feedback which is followed up by a recording of the interview, along with a detailed scoring of your performance. Included is personalized advice on how to improve. Discuss your interview with your coach. Why Practice Job Interview Skills?Athletes and musicians practice their trade so when they are on the field or on the stage, they are ready to perform with perfection. Professional athletes would never consider skipping practice and just showing up for the big tournament. Yet, day after day, job candidates interview without preparation or practice. The super stars put in 40 hours a week preparing. Most of this time is in practicing their trade. Some time is dedicated to visualizing their successful performance. A fair amount of time is spent strategizing. Focus is applied to the execution of their skills. Most candidates admit they haven’t interviewed in a long time, and then it was limited to a few experiences. Remember how you sounded on the piano or other musical instrument the first time. Pretty nerve racking for your coach wasn’t it? With practice you became better and built confidence. Before walking on stage for your recital, you practiced. “How did that sound?” would be asked until you got it right. To get better, we use coaches. Coaches prepare us by encouraging what we do well and pointing out the areas that need more practice. World champions all have coaches. Even while they are on top, they practice and seek out coaching. As a job seeker, you need to practice until you sound like the image you want to create. |
