Interview Coaching UK with Peak Performance HR

Although you know you’re great at what you do, you might need help conveying that to an interviewer. That's where interview coaching can help.

What is job interview coaching?

Job interview coaching is a process in which a professional coach helps job seekers prepare for and refine their interview performance. It involves personalised training, mock interviews, constructive feedback, and guidance on strategies for handling various interview situations, including managing interview nerves. 

The goal is to increase confidence and improve your chances of a job offer.

Who can benefit from career interview coaching?

People can benefit from interview coaching at any stage of their careers and in any sector. The skills you learn through interview coaching mean that you are better equipped to outshine your competition. 

You will particularly benefit from interview coaching if you are:

A Graduate

Interview coaching can be especially helpful if you are a graduate as it bridges the gap between academia and industry and provides you with the confidence and enhanced communication skills to present yourself in the best light.

An established professional aiming for promotions or more executive roles  

Taking your career to the next level is exciting, but you need to prove you have what it takes to shift your mindset, sharpen your focus and step up in to a more senior role. Interview coaching can help you do this, and create a compelling narrative as to why you want to take the next step in your career. 

Repeatedly getting rejections

Receiving rejection emails can get demoralising and affect your confidence. Working with an interview coach, you can identify what you can do to better 

Changing careers

Interview coaching is incredibly beneficial for career changers. You are immersing yourself into new territory, effectively with a new identity and branding.

Returning to work

If you’ve been out of work for an extended period-of- time, whether as a caregiver, for travel, focusing on personal projects or anything in between, re-entering the workplace can be a scary prospect. You might have lost confidence and can’t remember how to perform in an interview, or know how to explain any “professional” skills gaps on your CV.

Why work with Peak Performance HR

I have a lot of experience in interviewing from both sides of the table, as interviewer and interviewee, and have been in the shoes of all the scenarios above- graduate, career changer and return to worker so from a personal perspective, I get it. 😊

I am also an accredited coach and Level 7 CIPD qualified HR professional, with an in-depth understanding of how to get the most out of clients to ensure they present the best version of themselves under pressure.
