Mock Job Interview: Any Industry
50
In exchange for your simbi or your time, I'll help you prepare for an upcoming job interview. I'll prepare a mock interview, connect with you on Skype to work through it, and provide you with feedback on your performance and any other impressions I have from the process. The best part is, you don't even have to wear a suit! (But please, wear a shirt.)
What I'll need from you:
- Your resume (it's okay if you'd like to change or remove company and university names for anonymity).
- The name and description of the position you're applying for. (Bonus if you can send me a link to a job posting.)
If your industry is moderately or highly specialized, I may have to ask you some prep questions before I can draft the interview so I can make it as tailored to your needs as possible.
Once I have the interview ready, you should expect to spend about an hour in Skype conducting the interview and breaking it down after we're finished.
Disclaimer: while I have interviewed for positions at every level in multiple industries, I have never interviewed a candidate for an executive position or a non-profit organization. If either of those describe the position you're looking for, I will do my level best, but I can't promise the mock interview will be as effective as it would otherwise be.
Training & Qualifications
For more than fifteen years, I hired candidates for positions from entry level to middle management in several industries. I was known among my colleagues for my creative approach to the interview process, and among my employees for asking some of the toughest (and, okay, strangest) questions they'd ever had to answer. I believe in tailoring an interview specifically, not only to the function of the job that's open, but also to the culture of the company and personality of the team the successful candidate will be joining.
Availability & Preferences
My availability is generally wide open. Our initial communication by Skype or email, when you send your resume and job description and I ask any prep questions I may have, can be done anytime. After the interview is ready, I'll get in touch and we can work out a mutually convenient time for a Skype session.
