Kenya jobs,

You still think interviews are a matter of being asked questions and giving answers, that’s why you aren’t making it past that interview boardroom. Interviews are much more than having that boardroom meeting to answer bout yourself.

You have been shortlisted for an interview, but this is not the first time, your performance in previous interviews has been dismal. How do you ensure that this time round you get to ace the interview? Hiring managers are bound to hire candidates who express themselves confidently and understand the role they are applying as well as the company.

Today’s competitive job market requires one to strike ahead of the pack, and this needs you to convenience the hiring manager that you are the best they got. How do you go about with this? Here is where you bring interview coaching into play. Change those rejections into offers that you cannot keep up with.

Here are 4 ways how interview coaching will make the difference between getting the job or a rejection.

1.Provides you will critical self-assessment
Self-believe is a must have for any human being, but one needs to be aware of their own assumptions and biases and how that impacts them. You will need to develop a strong understanding of yourself to be able to bring out your skills and competence strongly. “Being aware of your assumptions and biases, you will be able to be seen as approachable and a trustworthy person which will make the interview process more efficient, effective and easier”, says Melody Mwendwa, Interview Coaching Manager at Corporate Staffing Services. A session with an interview coach will provide you with the critical self-assessment that will go a long way in breaking your personality to a hiring manager.

2.Familiarization with interview process
Yes, you have been to many interviews and you think you are way familiar with the interview process. How may times have interviews turned out to be a disaster for you just because you thought you had it all? Many, right?. Interview coaching will provide you with an opportunity to be prepared for different interview structures, one person to panel interviews. You will be guided on how to go about answering interview questions from a recruiter’s perspective, how often do you get an interview ‘cheat code’? You will know what every question is looking to find out and you will know how to answer each.

3.Get an assessment of why you failed your previous interview
After every interview, you are always waiting for feedback which never comes up. We all deserve an answer as to how we performed and use that to improve your next interview opportunity. Interview coaching will give you an opportunity to assess your previous interview performance and get to understand where you went wrong and how you can improve. “Interview coaching will give you an opportunity to assess your body language and your way of answering questions and how that position you” adds Melody. These will ensure that you get an opportunity to receive feedback and use that to improve yourself through constructive feedback in a less pressured environment.

4.Get insight on how to answer tough interview questions
Interviews are a true definition of the saying, first impression matters. Interviews give you one chance to nail it or go home. I know you have gone home more than often and it’s about time to change that. Interview coaching will provide you with an opportunity to not only prepare for basic questions that hiring managers to ask but also the tough questions. You will be able to prepare for those tough questions hiring managers ask to assess how well you fit into the company and the role concludes Melody.
There is no price higher than knowing you are going for an interview with your guns blazing and knowing that your interview skills are top notch. The time and cost input cannot be compared to a lifetime of job fulfillment when you get that dream job.
