“We are in this together for up to Six months- you will be empowered, and excited about your Interviews, because you will be prepared”

Professionally turning the tables, negotiating smart, being selective, and identifying how you fit into the culture. This is not just a job; it is your dream job; together we determine if this is the right career path and uncover the psychological shift of power to make you the decision maker. These are lifelong skills that you will reap the benefits for the rest of your Career.

• Interview Prep: “Fail to prepare, Prepare to Fail” …everything you need to know to prepare for the Interview. How to review and really understand the Job Description in advance, match your skills to the job requirements, company research, researching your interviewer/s, company culture, knowing where to go to get employee ratings of your future company, and much more. By thoroughly preparing prior to the interview, you put yourself in the best position to stand out from other candidates, so you move on in the process. Think of “Shark Tank”, you want to get the offers, same for interviews.


• Mock Interviewing/role playing: I have interviewed thousands of candidates, so together we will comprehensively rehearse the interview, prepare our strategy such as types of questions you will definitely get, how to answer behavioral based interview questions, practicing listening skills, responding under pressure, trick and or tough questions. In addition we will reinforce what to bring to the interview, what to wear, follow up questions that you ask to establish respect and credibility and more important qualify that you want to work for this company. Using the power of mindfulness to be present, active listening, staying calm, and focused, compensation questions, what not to ask on the first interview, how to use the words that show your confidence at the end of the interview and so much more.
  
  

  It’s all about separating and distinguishing yourself from the competition, so if you want to, you move on in the process, you can. Together, I will put you in the best position to show up authentically.

• Post Interview and Follow Up Strategy: Together we thoroughly dig into and breakdown the entire interview and discuss what went well, didn’t go well, roleplaying the questions that didn’t go well to master them next time, length of interview, questions, culture fit, how did we end the interview and close for next steps, and so much more. In addition, we will determine what our follow up plan looks like and draft the messaging to our Interviewers that distinguishes us from our competition.
  
  

  By thoroughly analyzing the interview together and the Follow up strategy, we put ourselves into the best position to not only improve from our experience, but determine if we want the position, and land the job if we want it.

• The Offer; accepting or turning it down: First and most important is to decide if the position aligns with our values, skills, and our career plan. Then together we discuss the details of the offer including compensation, start date, benefits package, etc.. Most importantly, we will discuss whether to accept the offer as is or professionally renegotiate or turn it down without “burning a bridge”
  
  

  Utilizing my experience of reviewing thousands of offer letters, non-disclosures, and non competes, we will ensure that we are taking the offer for the right reasons; that it is the right position for the long term. Will we be happy? Is the offer package fair and much more.

• New employee on boarding is the process of successfully integrating into your new company and its culture, as well as giving you the advice and mentoring to become a productive member of the team. We dialogue around what to expect the first 30 days, discuss best practices, manage expectations, avoid the most common pitfalls and awkward situations. You will feel confident on how to put yourself in the best light professionally and culturally.

Looking forward to being your Coach, advisor, and true inspiration during our journey together!
