Practicing for an interview can be painful, but rather you get feedback from a friend who cares for you that your answers don’t make any sense than in front of a recruiter or hiring manager.
Give your coach a list of questions. There are a set of common questions on the web site listed below you can start with, but also write some questions you believe will be asked for a specific job interview. In particular, write questions that ask you to explain how your past experiences and successes can be applied to the position for which you are interviewing.
To make it more spontaneous, have your coach throw in a surprise or two. They could do that by mixing up the order of the questions, or dropping in a question you didn’t expect.
You’ll need to get good at this, so practice, and then practice again. Heck, practice some more.
As it is said: “by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” When it comes to your job interviews, don’t let that be your epitaph.
There are training videos on the web site of my faith community and a handout the videos reference. This content is free. Please consider passing along: https://www.thetablempls.com/jobresources
