TESTIMONIALS

Hi everyone my name is Geeta and I am very excited to have the opportunity to share my experience of receiving interview coaching from Kevin Thompson, The Interview Teacher.

I applied for a networking position with in the Health Care Industry. I really wanted this position and knew that I could do the job well. One of the things which made me nervous was how to best communicate “that I am the best candidate” during the interview process without being perceived as acting fake. In addition, I had been out of the corporate work world for over two years which added to my nervousness.

The help I received from Kevin during this process was tremendous. He helped me clearly understand the role of the position I was perusing. Kevin identified the goals / expectations of the organization and how this position was strategically focused to achieve them. We worked together on specific job related questions that the employer may ask. Kevin encouraged me to think deeply about the needs of the employer, what questions they might ask and helped me frame my answers in a natural conversational style that focused on the results that I have demonstrated in previous positions. The questions Kevin asked me were not from the everyday interview question list, like what are your strengths or weakness? Kevin’s interview process was not about what I should say or what the employer wanted to hear, but rather my thoughts and ideas of how I can best meet the challenges the employer is looking to manage with this position. Kevin worked collaboratively with me developing questions I needed to ask the employer to provide me with better insight about the position I was pursuing.

In addition, Kevin conducted a mock interview with me. I knew that I needed to be fully prepared for this interview. I have had several interviews in the past but I must say, being prepared in this way took the nervousness way, made me confidant and able to shine in the real interview. The value of the time and effort spent with Kevin’s interview process was truly revealed during my interview with the employer. The employer asked me every question that Kevin and I had worked on during the mock interview. The interview sessions I had with the employer were conversational, not a question / answer session, I felt confidant, relaxed and able to be myself and not someone I thought they might want me to be.

I am very happy and thankful to have Kevin’s guidance during this interview process, because with his support I successfully exited the interview process with confidence, ease and a new job. Thanks again Kevin for you help and I highly recommend seeking coaching from Kevin for your next interview.
