Why nerves — not skills — might be holding you back

It’s one of the hardest truths about job interviews — and no one tells you this upfront.
The reason many people fall short at interview isn’t lack of experience, preparation, or even skill.

It’s that they weren’t engaging or relatable enough.

You are never, I repeat NEVER, going to be told that when you request feedback. It’s often not your fault - it’s the nerves that get the better of you. Really tense or tightly wound candidates just give off a vibe, and it’s not a vibe that gets you hired.

The good news is, you can fix this.

The best interviews consist of good questions followed by great answers. They’re intuitive, responsive and they flow throughout the course of a conversation. How can ChatGPT prepare you for that?

Interview coaching increases your confidence and lowers your anxiety. Interview coaching isn’t about being scripted or not being yourself. Just the opposite. Preparation helps you to show up authentically and as the best version of yourself, with less nerves or anxiety, so you can carry on an engaging conversation with your interviewer at your next interview - and at ANY interview.

If you haven’t been coached for an interview before, there has never been a better time for it.
