How can interview coaches help me if they know nothing about the job I’m seeking?
Our live interview coaches are trained to help you formulate responses to common questions through an online mock interview. Obviously, jobs vary in terms of the skills and background required, but interviewers often ask many of the same basic questions (such as “why do you want this job?”).
Your answers to these questions will, in large part, determine whether your interview is a success. And while your interview coach may not know much about the job you’re seeking, they can help you perfect techniques for tackling substantive questions.
What is an online mock interview?
• An online mock interview helps you improve your interviewing skills by giving you plenty of practice under simulated interview conditions by asking you common interview questions.
• You respond through instant messaging
• At the end of your interview, your interview coach will provide you with constructive feedback and interview tips.
How do I enter a mock interview?
Simply select “Ace the Interview” on the homepage and click “Get Live Interview Coaching”. You will then connect with a live interview coach using the Brainfuse Online Classroom. The online classroom supports instant messaging.
What software/hardware do I need for live interviewcoaching?
All you need is a computer with Internet access (our classroom is Mac/PC compatible).
* Please remember to disable your pop-up blocker when entering our online classroom.While JobNow requires no download, it may take a few minutes to enter your session for the first time.
