Interview Coaching

PREPARATION DOCUMENT

Read through the INTERVIEW PREPARATION DOCUMENT. In this document, you will find an extensive list of questions. Please review it and consider what you would answer for each one. BE THOROUGH!

As a next step, develop a list of the questions you intend to ask the interviewer – write your questions down (don’t just think about them). You will find some question samples/ideas in the interview preparation document linked below.

Schedule your first 30-minute coaching session with Claudine Vainrub. In this session, we will review the questions in the document to discuss possible answers (especially for the questions you are unsure about), and we will practice answering the most critical questions in the document. Please schedule our meeting using this link: meet.eduplan.us.

Finally, once you have completed the first coaching session, schedule your second 30-minute coaching session, which will consist of a 25-minute mock interview with 5 minutes for your questions to the interviewer. Please schedule our meeting using this link: meet.eduplan.us.
