WAY TO GO!
2/03/20 – 2ND TIMER
I hope all is well. I wanted to let you know that I received a passing score! I can’t thank you enough for your work, support and encouragement. From your personal coaching to the exercises, it made a difference. It helped me gain more confidence in myself and allowed me to sit back and pause after each question to give me time to paint the best story. I can also say that this interview was better than my first, especially with regards to laying out the (20/60/20).
Again, thank you for your time and support! It was truly a pleasure working with you.
I recommend you to anyone else who finds themselves struggling with interviews.
Some recent “I passed” emails.

I wanted to reach out and inform you that I passed the Phase II interview. I could not have passed without the preparation, guidance, and feedback you provided. I am typically extremely nervous when interviewing but when I entered the room I had an answer for everything. I can honestly say that I have never felt more confident during an interview then I did during the Phase II interview.
I largely equate that to
the preparation of the stories and the exercises we completed together.
Thank you again!

Got the news last night. I PASSED!!! Thank you again for all your help. I know you continue to search for the reasons some pass and others do not. Of course, I do not have that answer, but I can share with you what I think helped me pass the second time.
1) I left my “suit” at the door. I am an attorney, no doubt about it. But I spoke to the interviewers like I would to some friendly colleagues after work, not like I was talking to a panel of judges.
2) In preparing I always had emotional intelligence in the back of my mind. I was thinking about opportunities in my stories to discuss my feelings and the feelings of others and how this impacted my decision making. I do not think they are looking for robots.
3) I spent a lot of time, as you know, working on my “why.” And I also went back and listened to the recordings of our sessions. I also sent you a lot of stories and applied your criticisms. This really nailed the story telling formula and proportions into my mind.
Other than that, I think the rest is just putting in the time to find and practice stories that match the eight factors. Having a couple stories for each factor, even if you have to morph them is a safe bet. I think just sounding prepared gets you further than most people think.
Thank you again. Regardless of whether I make it through the rest of the process, it was a victory for me to beat this the second time, and I can’t thank you enough for all your help.

Keep up the good work.
