Interview Strategy Session (90-min)

Most senior interviews aren't lost on the answers. They're lost before you walk in, when nobody, including you, could say clearly why you're the right person for this role. Good candidates prepare for the questions. Strong candidates prepare the case.

This session builds that case. We look at the role, the organisation and the people across the table, then work out what they need to believe about you and how you'll show it.

For an external interview, that means translating your track record into the language of a new organisation and standing out on a shortlist of people who all look qualified on paper.

For an internal promotion, it's a different problem. The people deciding already know you, and that history cuts both ways. We help you show you're ready for the next level, not just excellent at the current one. If the decision is further off and you want to build the case before the interview, start with a Career Advancement Session.

We know how shortlists get built, because we used to build them. Ian Christie, our founder, interviewed more than 1,000 senior candidates as an executive recruiter, and our method is built on what he saw from the employer's side.

What we can cover

• The role and the decision: what they're really hiring for, and who decides

• Your case: the three or four reasons you're the right person, in plain language

• Your stories: the examples that prove it, shaped for this role

• The questions: the hard ones, the likely ones and "tell me about yourself"

• The process: panels, presentations, case exercises, search firms and what to expect at each stage

• Practice: a short mock round with direct feedback

You leave with

• A clear case for why you, ready to use in the room

• Your key stories mapped to the role

• Feedback on how you come across

• A written summary and preparation notes within 48 hours

A good fit if you have an interview coming up, whether it's a first round, a final round or a promotion panel, and you want to walk in prepared rather than hopeful.

Here is what we control and what we don't. We can't decide who the panel chooses. We can make sure you're the clearest, best-prepared version of your candidacy when they decide.
