How Charity Overcame Self-Doubt with CSS Interview Coaching
Have you ever applied for a job and believed you would be a perfect fit, but the interview didn’t go well? Charity Nyawira was in that situation before utilising our professional interview coaching services.
She had the skills and the credentials needed for a job, yet her anxiety made it impossible for her to translate these skills during the interview.
All that changed the moment she decided to have a one-on-one interview coaching session with us, which allowed her interview skills, confidence and competence to shine during interviews.
The outcome? She was prepared for her next interview and left with a job offer.
I had a conversation with her to understand her professional journey and experience with our services. Here’s what she had to say:
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Nyawira, a certified HR professional with over 5 years work experience in HR and Administrative roles. Am passionate about supporting employee’s development and fostering a positive work culture.
What specific challenges were you facing in interviews before attending our coaching session?
Before I signed up for an interview coaching session, I struggled with an inferiority complex, this made me second-guess all my answers during any interview I attended. This made me lose many great opportunities.
After the one-on-one coaching, I believed in myself more, became more confident and started being more composed and dignified during interviews.
What motivated you to seek interview coaching before your job search?
I started to realize that my struggles were holding me back from advancing in my career, and I wanted to address those personal challenges before they cost me more great opportunities.
I saw Interview coaching as a way of addressing my self-doubt and imposter syndrome. I wanted to present myself confidently in interviews and be able to secure better opportunities.
How did the coaching sessions help improve your confidence and interview performance?
The coaching sessions provided me with tailored feedback which directly addressed my worries and concerns about how I perform during a real interview.
Mary, the coach helped me work on some of the common interview questions and effective storytelling techniques, this helped me have a clear mindset when I approached my interview.
The mock interviews specifically were incredibly helpful in simulating real-life interview situations; this ended up making me feel much more prepared and in control for a real interview.
Would you recommend our interview coaching services to others? Why or why not?
Yes, I would recommend CSS for interview coaching.
Why?? The personalized approach and the expert guidance from Mary significantly improved my interview skills and made me more confident.
All I can say is it is a worthwhile investment for anyone preparing for a job search.
