⚠️⚠️ Note - Trial lessons are short, meet-and-greet style meetings for us to get to know your interview process, to do some quick practice, and to make a recommendation for a coaching program.  If you wish to have a simulation interview / mock interview / coaching session, please reserve a one-hour session.  

In Trial Lessons, we'll speak about your experience up to now interviewing for jobs, where in the job market you currently are, we'll do a bit of practice, you'll receive some feedback, and suggestions for further coaching sessions. 

Let's speak about your goals, the opportunity for which you're interviewing and begin making a plan according to (1) the amount of time we have to prepare and, (2) your current confidence when interviewing.  

Note - For each class, we'll use a shared google document where I'll take notes while you're speaking.  You're welcome to either join the shared document, or I can send you the notes after our session via italki.

You'll also learn the skills and strategies to have a successful interview with answers that are compelling and concise, and that connect with your interviewer. 

Each session is 55 minutes in length

Each program is structured and personalized, but essentially follows the same pattern.  First, we'll prioritize speaking about your career.  

Second, we'll start working on involving some strategies to improve the way you communicate specifically in job interviews.  We'll learn, practice and improve our use of certain strategies that will help you communicate successfully in your interview.

After that, we'll begin working on speaking about your skills, as well as topics that are more unique to your specific position or industry.  

Each program is personalized, and we'll be working with your resume and a job description that you provide.  

Note - Coaching is something that takes time.  In my experience, the minimum amount of time to prepare is 3-sessions, and the maximum amount of time is 3-months.
