Job Interviews Help and Coaching
Get the Job You Want
Job interviews can be a life changing situation.
Yet so many people go into them without investing in good interview preparation. Think of the difference interview success can make to your life:
An increase to your income
Higher status
Job satisfaction
And what happens if you don’t get the job through nerves or not preparing for the interview:
Others moving ahead of you
Feeling of failure
Same old job
Are you preparing for an interview?
Thinking of moving job, targeting new jobs or promotion. Have a look at the job interview skills on this page and get some great interview advice.
I’ve been interviewing people for many roles, and running assessment centres and management training programs for large national companies. I’ve seen many good candidates ruin their chances at interview because they were nervous and not prepared.
In an interview it is not always the candidate with the best qualifications, experience, or skills that gets the job. They have to be able to communicate the information to the interviewer.
This has to be done in a way that the job interviewer can match it to the job requirements.

Most people don’t know how to prepare for interview
Without interview coaching, or getting interview tips from an experienced coach, most people start their preparation from the wrong viewpoint.
They start with themselves. Their CV, their experience, their qualifications, their ability.
From your viewpoint the interview may appear to be about you.
From the interviewer’s perspective the interview is about their needs and how the candidate can meet them.
Think of the interview as you selling what you have to offer, to the interviewer.
You must first find out as much as you can about what the employer wants. You only want to sell to them parts of your experience and capability that matches their requirements.
So start with the job description and advertisement, and look for indicators that tell you the attributes the ideal person would have. Always from the employer’s viewpoint.
Interview skills coaching
Follow this exercise to see how you can prepare for your job interview.
The first step is to identify a major role requirement that an interview question will be focused on in the job interview.
Take the job description or advertisement for the job you are applying for and choose a major skill or competency that the job requires. This will definitely be included as an interview question.
The question could be asked in many different ways, but the interviewer will always be looking for whether you meet this job interview requirement.
A quick test for you
You’ve found one of the major points the job requires from the candidates attending the interview.
Imagine the interviewer has just asked you, How you meet this requirement?
Without too much preparation, answer the question as you would in an interview. If you have a way of recording yourself, such as on your mobile phone, then do it. ....Go on there’s only you and me listening. .. If not write down exactly what you say as your answer to the question.
Give yourself some feedback
Did you sound confident? Does your answer make sense? Was it to the point? How much additional information was there that wasn’t needed? if you were the interviewer would you be impressed, bored, or confused?
How to communicate your evidence at it’s best
Let’s start some interview coaching that will give you a great start to your job interview.
Write down all the experience, skill, or qualifications, you have that show you meet the major role requirement that you selected. …..Just bullet points, one line statements.
Now pick the one really strong example, or piece of evidence, that you are going to use.
One piece of evidence that proves you can do, or have, what they are looking for in a candidate. Something that shows you have the major skill, or the experience, the job requires.
Do not write it down
Just say it as you would when answering a question in an interview.
Say it again and make it better. No waffle, no padding out or filling the answer with non-relevant verbal garbage. Just make a meaningful sentence and say it with confidence. Your aim is to communicate this one piece of information to the interviewer. Only add anything that really supports the main point without repeating any information. And stick to just this one strong example.
Always get it right verbally first before you start writing anything down as a memory aid.
When you’re happy with your answer write down, or record, the full answer. Include everything your going to say.
Once you’ve written it down or recorded it, check for any redundant words or phrases. Cross out anything that doesn’t serve a purpose. Take out any waffle. Listen to the answer from an interviewer’s position.
How do you sound?
Now present your answer as you will when you’re in the job interview and record it, or write it down.
If you’ve followed the above instructions you should sound confident as you present this one piece of information about you and your abilities. You’ve made sure that you are answering the question about how you meet the specific job requirement. The answer is neat, with all superfluous information take out. …that alone will please the interviewer no end.
