Interview Coaching
Reston, VA
What are the qualities that the most successful people in this position / organization possess? Here you are looking for more specificity than is generally indicated by such terms as “excellent interpersonal skills,” “exceptional organizational abilities,” “ability to multi-task,” etc. Try to find out what about the position or organization makes these qualities the ones that are especially valuable. For example, with proper questionning you might learn that “excellent interpersonal skills” are required because of something like historical rivalry between departments, or a troubled client relationship. During my career, I was able to rise to the top of the advertising industry. Here, I developed the marketing know-how needed to understand how one effectively markets themselves for a job. I’ve also interviewed many candidates during my career, making me an excellent coach. For interview coaching services in Reston, VA, call me today.
