Interview and Offer Negotiation Coaching Program

What does the interview and offer negotiation coaching program look like?

The Interviewing Coaching and Offer Negotiation Coaching Program will increase your confidence going into your next interview. Interview coaching works best if the client already has an interview scheduled or anticipates an interview will be scheduled soon.  The client should have a target employer and a target job description in mind when they decide to hire an interview coach. 

Interview and offer negotiation coaching involves reflecting on your past professional experiences and discovering how your skills, strengths, interests, values, and achievements can fulfill your future employer’s needs.

What topics will be covered during coaching sessions?

Each program is different and will be tailored to each client’s unique needs.  Below are examples of topics and activities that can be covered during coaching sessions.

  • Creating an outline and script for the offer negotiation.

    What will I gain from this program?

    • An understanding of which pieces of your professional background are the most valuable to talk about during your interview.
    • The ability to share powerful stories about how your skills, strengths, interests, values, and achievements align with the position you are applying for.

    How much time does this program take?

    Resume Coaching Client

    Lauren was a game changer after my resume consultation with her. I felt I was qualified to do the jobs I was applying for, but I wasn’t getting replies from companies. So I brought Lauren in to help refine my resume to improve its readability and competitiveness for getting through applicant tracking systems. After working with Lauren, I applied to 4 jobs and immediately was asked to do 3 interviews. I’m happy to say I accepted an amazing job offer with one of those companies. My money and time was well spent working with Lauren and would recommend her to any of my friends and colleagues who need a little help putting their best foot forward.”

    Career Coaching Client

    Working with Lauren during the typically draining and lengthy process of job hunting became enjoyable and a refreshing take on something that can be very mundane. The activities and tasks she assigned were relevant and drove me to increase my professional network while still being able to juggle my daily responsibilities. In the end, by learning to have more transparent conversation about my professional goals, my network has granted me many new options in my career.

    “Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hadn’t written a resume in over 10 years and she helped me understand the resume world that exists today, how to tailor my resume to each job description, and so much more. I was extremely impressed with the layout of her services, her organization and responsiveness, and most of all, her personable nature – too many resume services I reached out to were like communicating with a robot when Lauren felt like an old friend. I will be recommending her to all of my friends looking for employment!”

    Interview Coaching Client

    I initially hired Lauren to conduct a mock interview with me, as I began to question myself after a few rejections. She offered suggestions and constructive criticism and has really helped me regain my confidence amidst a difficult job search. She is extremely friendly, reassuring, makes herself very available, and is beyond accommodating. I will continue to use her services as needed without hesitation!
