Welcome to Interview Coaching
COACHING EXPECTATIONS
Please complete the following work before your first session:
- Please review our Coaching Expectations. Many have found it helpful to have a dedicated career notebook readily available. A notebook allows you to write down ideas or assemble a list of tasks to complete following our session. It is not necessary to dress up for the practice; however, you should be prepared to discuss your clothing and webcam background.
- Download a copy and share the Power Interviewing Workbook with your coach. This will allow you to collaborate along your interview coaching journey and receive feedback from your coach between sessions.
- Email your coach a copy of your resume (preferably in MS Office format).
- Provide a job posting URL to practice interviewing (it can be an expired job posting).
