Interview Coaching for Ambitious Professionals

Boost your chances to nail your job interview and secure a new role

Who is it for?

Are you an ambitious professional looking to secure a new role or a promotion?

It’s been a long time since you’ve had a job interview. You’re nervous and don’t quite know what to expect.

Or maybe you’ve already had several interviews and even got to the last stage, but still got rejected. And the worst part? You have no idea what you could do better next time.

This programme is for you if you have an important interview coming up and:

  • Are looking for practical tips on how to prepare for the interview effectively and improve your chances of securing a role
  • Want to be more in control during the interview process
  • Want to give yourself the best chance to impress your potential employer while remaining authentic

How will this programme help you?

With so much competition out there, there is no way you can just wing it. This programme will boost your chances to secure a new position by helping you to:

  • Come up with more structured, strategic answers to a wide range of potential interview questions
  • Practice answering potential interview questions out loud
  • Control your nervousness and imposter syndrome
  • Improve your communication skills with honest and specific feedback
  • Develop positive narratives to explain gaps in employment, a number of short positions, or any other points in your former career that your interviewer may be skeptical about
  • Communicate with impact at a virtual interview
  • Develop effective cross-cultural communication skills

What’s included in this programme?

This programme includes:

  • Review of your CV
  • Guide to interviewing and common interview questions
  • A number of 60-minute 1:1 sessions, which also include:
  • A review of your CV and job specification to ensure alignment with the role
  • A personalised mock interview tailored to the role you’re applying for, including detailed feedback on your mock interview performance, delivered orally during one of the sessions
  • Discussion of your personal key interview challenges (for example, handling difficult questions, managing nerves and building confidence, effectively selling your skills and experience, etc.)
  • Structured guidance and coaching to address specific areas of improvement
  • Video recording of the mock interview (optional)

There are a lot of people out there who do what Tami does, but I can’t believe there are many who do it so well. Tami’s coaching helped me uncover, understand and appreciate my skill set. I looked forward to the sessions, which left me with an unfamiliar sense of clarity and confidence about who I was and where I was going. I also secured the job I was looking for.

How does it work?

Step 1

To make sure our sessions are as helpful to you as possible, I’ll ask you to answer initial questions about the position you’ll be interviewing for, your interviewees, the format of your interview, particular areas of concern that you want to work on, etc. Also, I’d ask you to send me your current CV.

Step 2

You’ll get an interview coaching guide that will provide you with:

  • Clear, step-by-step guidance: From initial preparation to post-interview follow-up, the guide walks you through each stage of the interview process.
  • Practical tools and techniques: Learn proven strategies, like the STAR technique, to structure your answers with clarity and impact.
  • Confidence-building exercises: Discover methods to manage nerves, build self-assurance, and present yourself authentically.
  • Insight into the interviewer’s perspective: Understand what hiring managers are really looking for and how to communicate your value effectively.
  • Strategies for handling tough questions: Get tips on how to respond to challenging questions like salary expectations, career gaps, and weaknesses.
  • Smart questions to ask: Impress your interviewer with thoughtful, strategic questions that demonstrate your genuine interest in the role.

Step 3

Optional: Additional sessions for an additional fee, if required.

Please keep in mind

A hiring process involves many factors outside of our control: changes in the market, expectations and preference of the interviewers, specific requirements of a role, or simply bad luck. That’s why, although many have secured a new job or role right at the end of this programme, there is no guarantee that this will happen for you as well.

I came to Tami during the time of a major transition within my organisation. I was finding it challenging to respond to demands from the top, to lead and manage my stretched team, and to handle some difficult relationships at work.

Working with Tami gave me much needed time and space to put matters into perspective and gain clarity. Tami helped me break down the issues I was facing and to work through each of them step by step. With her support, I managed to secure a senior role for a major global brand.

Interview coaching with Tami has been very helpful and affirming. I’ve gone through this process feeling so much more confident and capable of delivering my best. It helped me think through and iron out all my thinking without having polished pre-prepared text, so I can still be myself when I speak. Thank you, Tami. This has been so liberating.
