College Interview Coaching

Many college bound students forget to prepare for their college interviews, but just like interview coaching, during college interviews we can learn to express ourselves with confidence and clarity to our prospective undergraduate and graduate schools recruiters and admissions counselors. We can help you with both the content preparation (what you say) and performance (how you say it) of interviews.

Time spent on answers to typical college interview questions like “What have you learned from a big mistake?”) and the deceptively tricky “Tell me about yourself” questions, that's more than most people do. The deeper work, however, lies in practicing with an impartial person who will provide candid, honest feedback and provide pointers on how to improve your performance.

Our College Interview Coaching services not only helps you craft answers to commonly asked questions -- our College Interview and Confidence Coach Bill Johnson offers 20 years experience of educational instruction and acting experience to illustrate and help people learn to be the relaxed, confident student you know yourself to be. Bill offers techniques for calming your nerves, speaking with concision and clarity and successfully building rapport with college recruiters.

He will help you find the language to convey your strengths and the confidence to communicate with ease during these important college interviews.

We can also offer video services to further help you improve your performance and prepare you for online interviews and video applications.
