NOW I realize that the first time I completed and failed this interview years ago, I was not prepared.
Therefore, the interview seemed tremendous and tedious last time.
However, this time I felt almost as if I needed more time to talk, because I had so much to say! I felt
more confident and comfortable, thanks to your help and expertise.
Yesterday, one day after the interview, I received a call saying that I passed the interview!! I could not
believe it!
Our preparation that went into this interview was clearly worth it.
You are phenomenal at what you do; and I will be recommending you to anyone I know that struggles
with interviews, or needs a refresher.
You helped me to understand how to set up my stories, speak with confidence, and be overly prepared. Your guidance helped me in achieving this lifelong dream of mine, and I will always be thankful. Every college needs to have courses with your coaching and guidance; I believe it would be extremely beneficial.
From the coach:
BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEWING IS ABOUT “TELLING STORIES.”
A TIME WHEN…A SITUATION…A SUCCESS/FAILURE.
WRITING STORIES – MATCHING THE STORY WITH THE FACTOR IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THE FACTOR MUST MATCH THE ACTION YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO SHOW DEMONSTRATING IN THE STORY.
While you are learning the technique of behavioral interviewing, I suggest using “one factor” per story.
Later when you are more at ease with the skill, we will work on moving your stories around.
