I have over 20 years experience working with managers and executives in large international organizations across a number of different industries, with a heavy focus on Recruitment, Executive Development and Talent Management – identifying and preparing high potential individuals through coaching for key strategic positions. I have conducted over 1000 interviews across a broad spectrum of fields so I have a good idea from a recruiter’s perspective of what they are looking for.
I was a founder and partner of a small profitable fitness business, where I was responsible for Marketing, Business Planning, Financials and Recruitment/Development of staff.
Most recently I have been a career coach in San Francisco, working with clients primarily on the US West Coast who want to make changes to their working life, helping them prepare for their next steps -whether that be 1. Going back to work after a long period of time off, 2. Changing jobs in their current company or elsewhere or 3. A complete change in career, starting a new business or personal endeavor. I provide resume writing support, help with job applications and Interview preparation including mock interviews and feedback.

CUSTOM COACHING
Our approach can be tailored as to what you specifically require – I can help you in other areas including: Perfecting your LinkedIn profile, the art of networking, understanding & using LinkedIn effectively and exploring other resources. Please contact me for more information so that we can schedule a consultation.
MY APPROACH TO INTERVIEW PREPARATION
- I will start by assessing your target/ideal job and analyze your skills and experience to formulate a tailored plan to help you prepare.
- We will look to develop your own personal brand and work on interview questions and answers together.
- Finally we will perfect your responses through practice, practice and more practice, identifying weaker areas and how you can improve them.
Typically I do this through two 1.5 hour sessions. These can be performed by telephone, Skype or if you are local to San Francisco, we can arrange to meet in person.
SESSION 1 – Prior to our first session, I will gather information on your ideal job or specific job you have applied for, along with your skills and experience. We will start session 1 with a mock interview, after which I’ll give you feedback. We will talk about how you can build a strong, appealing personal brand and review your interview responses. I’ll then give you some relevant exercises to prepare for the second session.
SESSION 2 – We will look at the preparation you have done prior to our session and we’ll perform another mock interview – in this session, you will get further coaching to help polish your interview answers and improve confidence prior to your interview.
