Interview Coaching And Practice Sessions

Interviews are a fundamental component of your job search.  We coach on responses to questions and strategies to effectively manage nerves and other personal challenges.  These days interviews can be conducted via telephone (phone interviews), in-person with a single interviewer, or an interview panel consisting of up to 4 interviewers, online via video link, and online with self-recorded responses to automated questions.  The interview stage can also accompany tests and assessments to gauge your level of skill and ability in key areas.  If you have completed the first stage of your application, you may be waiting anxiously for the good news, or perhaps you have been notified you have succeeded to interview.  You may now be contemplating what to expect and how to prepare.  Preparation is key!  Career Origin can offer a structured approach to interview coaching, along with tips and hints on how to survive the interview process, and helpful methods for remembering key responses.  Most importantly, gaining an understanding of the interview process and being prepared can improve self-confidence and enable a candidate to present themselves throughout the interview confidently and professionally.

Career Coaching And Counselling

Career Coaching can be referred to in a few different terms - Career Coaching, Career Guidance, and Career Counselling.  Career Coaching is intended to provide support for a number of reasons.  How the session transpires and how many sessions are required all depends on the individual and their specific needs. 

The following list includes some indicators of why you might consider Career Coaching:

  • An opportunity to sit and flesh out ideas
  • Discussion of direct challenges and issues which need resolving 
  • Direction and guidance in making a decision 
  • Validation to ensure you are on the right path 
  • Finding a way to achieve personal growth through further training and professional development
  • Discovering particular skills or talents
  • Analysing the viability of a career change
  • Working out the commitment required to undertake further study
  • Discussion of other parameters in life 

A Career Coach brings relevant expertise to provide careers information, referencing career resources, interprets aptitude tests, discusses career development opportunities, brainstorms options for further study and analyses if a career change is viable based on the individuals characteristics, skills, training and personal situation.  There is so much to discuss, and each person is so individual.  Whatever your reasons, one session can be the beginning.....
