The Inter­view SOS System

How It Works

Our Job Inter­view Prepa­ra­tion ser­vices are designed to help a job appli­cant pre­pare for a  inter­view. Our job inter­view coaches will advise you on how to:

• Pre­pare for an interview
• Answer tough questions
• Demon­strate that you have the skills and qual­i­fi­ca­tions required for the spe­cific job
• Over­come shy­ness and anxiety
• Dress appro­pri­ately for the interview
• Address weak­nesses in your application
• And Much, Much More!

Our rec­om­men­da­tions will be tai­lored specif­i­cally for you, your strengths and weak­nesses, and the job you are apply­ing for.

Prior to your coach­ing ses­sion, you should:

Send us your inter­view mate­ri­als. Please send us your resume, cover let­ter (if rel­e­vant) and a copy of the job descrip­tion prior to your inter­view coach­ing ses­sion so your coach can review these doc­u­ments and sug­gest an appro­pri­ate inter­view­ing strategy.

Pre­pare answers to com­mon inter­view ques­tions. You should come to your coach­ing ses­sion pre­pared to answer the fol­low­ing com­mon inter­view questions:

1. Tell me about your­self? [Hint: Give a 2–3 minute per­sonal sales pitch]
2. Why are you leav­ing your cur­rent or pre­vi­ous job?
3. What is your great­est strength? What are your strengths?
4. What is your great­est weak­ness? What are your weaknesses?
5. Why are you inter­ested in this posi­tion or company?
6. Tell me about your great­est achievement.
7. How do you deal with conflict?
8. Do you have any ques­tions for me? [Hint: Have 5–10 intel­li­gent, researched ques­tions pre­pared for your interviewer]

You can also bring a list of ques­tions and con­cerns about the job inter­view process for your coach to answer.

After sched­ul­ing an appoint­ment, please read our Defin­i­tive Guide to Ace Your Inter­view and Get the Job for addi­tional hints on how to answer inter­view ques­tions suc­cess­fully and how to pre­pare for an inter­view. This short but com­pre­hen­sive guide is one of the best resources on inter­view prepa­ra­tion on the inter­net today and is a great resource whether you sched­ule a ses­sion with us or not.

The career coaches of Inter­view SOS can help you suc­ceed in your inter­view and get into the grad­u­ate or pro­fes­sional school of your dreams.

We have helped prospec­tive stu­dents like you inter­view for grad­u­ate school. Past clients have inter­viewed for:

• Med­ical School (MD & DO)
• Nurs­ing School (RN, ASN, BSN, & MSN)
• Busi­ness School (MBA)
• Law School (JD)
• Den­tal School (DMD & DDS)
• Doc­toral Pro­grams (PhD)
• Other Mas­ters Pro­grams (MA & MS)

We’ll advise you on how to:

• Pre­pare for an interview
• Demon­strate that you have the edu­ca­tional back­ground, skills and qual­i­fi­ca­tions required
• Answer tough questions
• Over­come shy­ness and anxiety
• Dress appro­pri­ately for the interview
• Address weak­nesses in your application

We find that most grad­u­ate school appli­cants require two inter­view coach­ing ses­sions in addi­tion to their own prepa­ra­tions for the inter­view. The first of these ses­sions usu­ally focuses on gen­eral inter­view ques­tions that you are likely to see as part of your inter­view. The sec­ond ses­sion usu­ally focuses on spe­cific issues related to your edu­ca­tion, back­ground, and expe­ri­ence and the spe­cific school you are apply­ing for.

Prior to your coach­ing ses­sion, you should:

Please send us your resume, the name of the school(s) and program(s) you are apply­ing for, and a copy of your appli­ca­tion prior to the inter­view. Your coach will review these doc­u­ments and sug­gest an appro­pri­ate inter­view­ing strat­egy for you.

Pre­pare answers to com­mon inter­view ques­tions. You should come to your coach­ing ses­sion pre­pared to answer the fol­low­ing com­mon inter­view questions:

1. Tell me about your­self? [Hint: Give a 2–3 minute per­sonal sales pitch that explains what led you to apply for grad­u­ate school]
2. Why are you inter­ested in your cho­sen pro­fes­sional or grad­u­ate school? Why do you want to be a nurse/physician/dentist? Why do you want to go to busi­ness school or get a Mas­ters Degree or a Doc­toral Degree?
3. Why are you inter­ested in our spe­cific pro­gram or grad­u­ate school? [Hint: Explain how the school you are apply­ing to is dif­fer­ent and bet­ter than other sim­i­lar schools.]
4. What other grad­u­ate schools are you apply­ing for and why?
5. What is your great­est strength? What are your strengths?
6. What is your great­est weak­ness? What are your weaknesses?
7. Tell me about your great­est achievement.
8. How do you deal with conflict?
9. Do you have any ques­tions for me? [Hint: Have 5–10 intel­li­gent, researched ques­tions pre­pared for your interviewer]

You can also bring a list of ques­tions and con­cerns about the inter­view process for your coach to answer.

VIjay Ingam of Inter­view SOS offers Inter­view Coach­ing Ser­vices for Aspir­ing Health Care Professionals

Inter­view SOS pro­vided Inter­view Coach­ing Ser­vices to aspir­ing MBA’s.

You should be proud of your resume.

Some­times we encounter can­di­dates who have dif­fi­culty apply­ing for jobs because their cur­rent resume and cover let­ter does not accu­rately reflect their skills, back­ground, work expe­ri­ence, and aca­d­e­mic cre­den­tials as rel­e­vant to the jobs they are apply­ing for. For such clients, we offer resume and cover let­ter re-writing ser­vices. This typ­i­cally requires 3 hours of inde­pen­dent writ­ing and 1 hour of face time with the client for a total of 4 hours.

We’ll make you a resume you can be proud of.

Our ser­vices are designed to help you suc­ceed in your job search. Call 1−800−212−2670 to sched­ule a free con­sul­ta­tion today!
