Interview Coaching Sessions
One to one interview coaching can be as a one-off 60-90 minute session or as a series of sessions if required.

We can cover:
- Researching the job
- Preparation for the job interview
- Creating the right impression
- Interview practice and feedback
- Interview structures – what to expect
- Interview tips
- Body language
- How to handle panel interviews
- Questions to ask the interviewer (and what not to ask!)
- How to finish the interview on the right note
Fees
- One to One Sessions – £215.00 (approx. 90 minutes and preparation prior to meeting)
- Additional Hourly Sessions – £143.00 per hour
Payment can be made via bank transfer. Arrangements will be discussed when we diarise the session.
Interview Coaching
“I approached Julie for some generic interview coaching and to help me prepare for a specific interview. I have to say that Julie provided a first class service. The result was that I felt more prepared and confident going into the interview than I otherwise would have. Most importantly, post interview, I felt that I had interviewed well. Would I use Julie again? Absolutely. Would I recommend her to others? Most definitely. Julie knows her stuff and she is both engaging and professional.”

Veteran: Non-Executive Director; Consultant
“After just one meeting with Julie it was evident that she has excellent knowledge of the field. She was very quickly able to show me areas of my interview technique that needed development as well as providing a thorough review of my CV. Without a doubt, if I didn’t have Julie’s help, I would still be looking for work.”
