Interview Coaching Improves Interview Skills

Interview coaching can help everyone to succeed in job interviews. Interview preparation is a key element of success, but:

What if you’re not sure what to do?
What if it’s your first ever interview?
What if you haven’t had an interview for a long time and you’re not sure what’s expected anymore?
What if your interview skills let you down?

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.

The job market is fiercely competitive 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 interview 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 both the organisation and the role to you. Crucially, it gives you the chance to shine, inspire and sell yourself strongly to the interviewer and the organisation.

Interview Coaching

We provide a two hour, one-to-one, interview training and coaching programme.

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.

Interview Preparation

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.

Interview Help

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.
