Interview Training

My training method, developed from years working with Disney, Netflix, and The Economist, is about more than simply finding the “right” answer. It’s about discovering your voice and telling your story with confidence. This system, proven to transform nervous communicators into engaging storytellers, will help you connect authentically, impress interviewers, and excel in even the most challenging questions.

1. In-Depth Initial Assessment and Goal Setting

We’ll start with a review of your skills, experience, and interview history to set a strong foundation. Together, we’ll identify strengths and any areas for growth, setting focused goals tailored to your needs, whether for confidence-building, handling tricky questions, or improving storytelling.

3. Techniques for Calm, Focus, and Connection

This discussion introduces relaxation exercises to ease tension, focus-reframing to shift attention outward, and storytelling techniques to foster connection. Together, these tools transform nervous energy into calm, engaged communication.

5. Memorable “Pocket Stories”

With behavioral questions, stories are key. We’ll develop versatile, high-impact “pocket stories” from your past experiences to showcase your skills and adaptability. Each story will focus on measurable outcomes, making your answers memorable and relevant to your interviewers.

7. Values and Rapport Building

We’ll review essential technical skills and tools for your target role, guiding you on how to confidently discuss your experience. You’ll practice conveying your technical know-how in ways that speak to real-world challenges, so you’re ready to excel in a technical interview.

2. Company Research and Alignment

Knowing your target company’s culture and goals is essential to standing out. We’ll research key company values, goals, and recent projects, helping you craft answers that demonstrate authentic interest and alignment. You’ll leave with talking points that showcase both your skills and commitment to the company’s direction.

4. Core Interview Responses

We’ll craft structured answers to common questions using a time tested method to make your responses clear and impactful. Together, we’ll refine key areas, from a compelling personal pitch to strengths, weaknesses, and team dynamics, building a toolkit you can confidently adapt to any question.

6. Skills-Based and Technical Prep

8. Mock Interview Practice

Practice is essential for interview success. We’ll simulate interviews with role-specific questions and detailed feedback to sharpen your responses. This tailored practice helps you get comfortable with both general and industry-specific questions, enhancing your clarity, structure, and poise.
