“I see this all the time. People spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on their education only to mess up the end-game by not investing in getting their interview skills tight.”

A career coach I was referred to hit me over the head with the words above when I was talking to him about my lack of job opportunities. At the time I was a broke 22-year-old recent college graduate and I was hesitant to pay for a coach. But deep down I knew the man was right: if I wanted to get my career moving forward I needed to learn how to better present myself in interviews.

Fortunately, I only had to shell out for a couple of sessions. Not even a month after we began working together I confidently sat down for an interview and an hour later I proudly walked out of the meeting with my first job offer.

Two decades have passed since that day. During this time I have worked in seven different sectors across three continents and I’ve been offered a job for every interview I’ve been on except for one. Not only that, but over the last eight years as a career coach, I’ve helped well over 300 people — from recent college graduates to C-level executives — land jobs all over the globe
