Questions

Good to know

How soon before my interview should I book?

Ideally a week out, so there's time to practise. But even a session the day before can make a real difference.

Do you coach for interviews outside your own industry?

Yes. I coach professionals across all sorts of fields, including senior clinicians, engineers and lawyers. You bring the technical knowledge; we work on how you present it.

My interview is tomorrow. Is it too late?

No. One focused session on your opening answer and your two or three strongest examples can make a real difference. Book a free call and tell me the date.

Can we meet in person?

Yes, on Auckland's North Shore. Most sessions run online, which works well for interview practice too.

What does it cost?

The first 20-minute call is free. Sessions are $179 for 60 minutes, pay as you go.
