Interview Coaching

Mock interviews and expert coaching that build confidence, sharpen your answers and prepare you to make a strong impression at interview.

  • Likely questions identified from the job spec and your CV
  • Two mock interviews with detailed, practical feedback
  • Competency- and strengths-based interview preparation
  • Techniques to manage nerves and answer with confidence

Do you have an upcoming interview — or interviews that aren’t converting to offers?

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You find it hard to answer questions confidently without rambling.
  • It’s been a long time since your last interview and you’re anxious.
  • You’re unsure how competency-based or strengths-based interviews work.
  • You’re nervous about presenting yourself to a panel.
  • The stakes are high — this is a role you really want.
  • You’re getting interviews, but no offers.

Over the last 25 years I have worked with hundreds of recruiters. I understand how they interview and what they’re looking for from candidates. Working with me will ensure you are prepared to make a strong, positive impression at interview.

How it works

  1. Preparation — I analyse the job specification, your CV and the interview details to identify the questions you’re likely to face.
  2. Initial consultation (30 minutes) — we agree the main areas to focus on and I brief you on the questions to prepare.
  3. First mock interview — you practise your answers and get detailed feedback on areas to improve.
  4. In-depth practice interview — you apply the techniques, with comprehensive feedback.

By the end, you’ll have numerous specific, tangible examples that demonstrate the competencies and strengths the recruiter is looking for.

Competency-based and strengths-based interviews

Structured interviews — including civil and public service competitions — ask you to evidence specific competencies with real examples from your own experience. We identify the competencies behind your job spec, build strong examples around them, and practise delivering those answers clearly under pressure. If a written application form stands between you and the interview, start with an application form review.

What does interview coaching cost?

Mock interview packages are fixed-price by experience level: €250 at graduate level, €350 for experienced professionals and €450 for senior professionals — see the full price list. A strong interview starts with a strong application, so many clients pair coaching with a professional CV rewrite.

All sessions are held online, so you can prepare from anywhere in Ireland or abroad.
