Who needs practice? EVERYONE!

Executives, professionals, administrators, lawyers, FBI agents, administrative assistants, new graduates, pre-med students, re-entry people - I've coached them all - with very positive results.

What will I get?

You will improve your performance and increase your chances of getting offers if you practice with an interview coach or use Carole Martin's books and materials before your interview. Just like giving a presentation or a performance you will need a rehearsal. Practicing with a professional will help you focus and make you more fluent in your ability to answer questions. As a result, you will feel less anxious, less nervous, and more confident.

Who Will Coach Me?

"I was floundering, ready to expand and reach out to new career possibilities but really did not have any direction until I met Carole Martin. Not only is Carole and beautiful and caring individual but she is truly a Guru! Since we both live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I really feel privileged to have been able meet with her one-on-one and learn directly from her deep knowledge and insight. And I am sure that no matter where your location is on the globe, Carole and her solid process will be able to help you truly identify your professional strengths, be able to communicate them well so you will win those contracts or stand out as a stellar candidate.

Telephone Coaching

No Traveling - Convenient Times - Great Results!

Option 1

This two-session package - each 50 minutes

The package Includes:

Materials ---- link to workbook and three mp3’s to download - plus exercises that will help you focus and prepare to present yourself in a succinct and organized manner.

Coaching Sessions --- two - 50-minute coaching sessions – where we will cover the basic questions – plus any questions that are a problem or concern for you. Your answers will be recorded and played back when we think that you will benefit from hearing yourself. We have found that clients are their hardest critics.

Personal Statement Written for You ---We will personally write “Your 5 points” so that you can answer any question that fall into the “Tell me about yourself” category based on the information from the exercises you do for our first session.

We send this to you by email and this becomes your “road map” or “product brochure” to refer to when you are asked questions about yourself.

“Tell me about yourself”
“Why should we hire you?”
“What can you bring to the job that the other candidates can’t?”
“What makes you unique?”

Our clients find this to be an extremely helpful tool and really seem to appreciate ability of a professional interview coach to summarize their strengths to help them focus.

Feedback --- We will also give you straightforward feedback and help you with the strategy that you will use to show the interviewer that you are the “best candidate for the job.”

Follow-up ---You can also send your coach “stories” or other questions by email before and after the sessions.

Our goal is the same as yours is --- to get you to feel confident about interviewing – and in turn get the job you want – and deserve.

"I think your website is awesome! You recently coached and helped to prepare me for an interview. Which by the way you were like a good friend. Listened and got right to the point. I recently paid $750 for other coaching from someone else, but felt that I gained more in just a few minutes from you. You have a warm, wonderful personality!!! I truly appreciate and would highly recommend your service." ~~ Bobi Applegate

Option 2

This is a single session package - 90 minutes

The package Includes:

Materials ---- Includes all of the materials listed in Option 1. The biggest difference between Option #1 and #2 - other than coaching time is that you will write your own "5 points."

Your "Five Points" are equivalent to a "Product Sheet" and you are the product. By using Five Points to describe "You" and "Your Expertise, your Strengths, your Work Ethic and your Personal Traits," you will be able to answer those open-ended questions like: "Tell me about Yourself," or "Why should we hire you?" or What makes you unique?" This has been a very helpful tool for clients to keep them focused - even when they feel like a "deer caught in headlights."
