Interview Coaching & Preparation

Better interview performance = more job offers.

If you have an interview coming up, I’ll help you prepare for the questions you’re likely to be asked, develop your responses and practise how you communicate your experience, so you know what you want to say without sounding rehearsed.

Walk into your next interview feeling well prepared, confident and knowing you’re ready.

“Hi Tara, I have a job. Yippee! I passed my interview and I thank you for that. You provided the best interview skills coaching for me and my situation. You taught me to be myself at interviews instead of just trying to tell them what I can do. Just that one thing turned it around for me. I was positive, confident and happy just being me. I’m pretty happy with myself. Thanks again, Deb”

How Interview Coaching Works

Interview Strategy

We review the role, likely interview format and what the employer will be assessing. I’ll help you identify the questions you’re likely to face and the experience and examples you can use to demonstrate your fit.

If you’re preparing for a panel interview, you can also read my guide to panel interview preparation.

Mock Interview Practice

We’ll work through behavioural and role-specific questions, including how to structure STAR/CAR examples without sounding rehearsed.

We’ll focus on communicating your experience clearly so you give the interviewer the evidence they need. We’ll practise under realistic interview conditions, with feedback on your answers and delivery.

If you’re applying for graduate programs or your first professional role, you may also find my graduate career coaching and employment support helpful.

I went for 14 interviews in 3 months but I was clearly doing something wrong and starting to lose faith in my skills and confidence when I called Tara. We had a ‘mock’ interview and she gave me feedback and solutions. After the 2nd session there was a vast improvement and the next two interviews I went to, I was offered both jobs!!! I could not have done this without Tara, her expertise is invaluable. I wish everyone knew about her mentoring sessions. She’s amazing. I’ll never forget her help and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Tara really helped me to focus and prepare well for my interview. I really liked her interview coaching technique. I felt confident at the interview and the feedback was that I was very cool, calm and collected! Best of all, I got the job! Thank you Tara :)

I reached out to Tara after securing a job interview recently. During our virtual consultation, Tara shared so much useful information and then followed up, sending me additional resources by email. I found her advice extremely practical and easy to implement. By the time I attended my job interview I felt confident and very well prepared. Tara is professional and highly skilled at quickly assessing how to best support you. Thank you Tara!

Not only is she a master at writing resumes that truly showcase your strengths, but she's also an exceptional mentor and career coach. She updated my resume flawlessly, and provided invaluable coaching sessions to sharpen my interview skills. And guess what? I aced the interview and secured yet another fantastic position! Tara remains my go-to resource. With her expertise, support, and mentorship, I'm confident that together, we'll continue to achieve great things.

Tara has been a Godsend for me and I am 6 months into a position that I adore, and credit my confidence and skills during the application and interview stages to her advice and guidance. Tara helped me get the job I have always wanted. Thanks Tara - You are a true job mentor.

Many thanks for your assistance and help for interview coaching. You gave me a good insight of what needs to be achieved and what I can achieve within myself. Again thank you for your time, I really do sincerely appreciate it.

I would highly recommend Tara’s coaching. Clients she works with definitely benefit from her assistance and they warm to her friendly and helpful approach
