Gateway Career Management attaches high importance to making the interview a success and has helped many people prepare for interview, develop their interview skills and convert interviews to employment offers.

Nowadays the job market is more and more company driven. Competition is fiercer than ever and only those who perform well at interview are likely to be hired. You may not have a second opportunity to sell yourself. For this reason your preparation and performance must be high class and it is essential that you make a strong and convincing impression.

We believe that a job interview is a two-way process. It allows the interviewer to sell to you both the organisation and the role and, crucially, it gives you the chance to shine, inspire and sell yourself strongly to the interviewer and the organisation.

What do we cover?

We provide a two hour, one-to-one, interview training and coaching programme for which we fully prepare.

We agree and prepare questions for and with you, in advance, ideally based on an actual job that you have applied for or one that you are targeting.

We cover a comprehensive list for all stages of the interview process. This includes interview types and formats and interviewer styles - every possible context and scenario that you might encounter at your interview.

We encourage you to work to a plan when preparing for an interview. We ensure that you have strong content and compelling backup evidence and examples to support your responses to questions.

We coach you how to handle challenging questions and demonstrate initiative and enthusiasm which interviewers always look for. These include standard and difficult competency based questions. We help you identify and shape essential questions which you must ask and selected questions that allow you to demonstrate your key achievements.

We work with you to improve how you look and come across. Effective use of body language is critical. We utilise video feedback.

We have a detailed checklist for you to use as a recap immediately following your job interview so that you quickly capture the areas for further work in order to improve your performance at any subsequent interview.

To help us prepare you will need to send in the following:

Your CV, cover letter, application and any other information submitted for the role
Details of the role - a copy of a job advertisement or a link to an on-line one
A summary of where you feel you most need to improve your performance
A list of the questions you find particularly challenging
Your thoughts on questions that you would like to ask
Your concerns (if you have any) around your application and credentials
A brief outline of why you want the job and why you think you are the right person

If you complete a programme with us interview coaching is usually included.

The costs of our bespoke Interview Coaching service range from £410 including VAT.
