Deciding whether to book a 60 minute or 90 minute coaching session?
When booking an interview coaching session, you have the choice between a one-hour session and an hour and a half session. Here are the main differences:
-
Duration: A one-hour session lasts for 60 minutes, while an hour and a half session lasts for 90 minutes. The longer session allows for more in-depth discussions and practice.
-
Coverage: In a one-hour session, there is limited time to cover various aspects of interview preparation, such as behavioral and commonly asked questions, interview techniques, and managing nerves.
In an hour and a half session, there is more time to delve deeper into these topics. It enables a more comprehensive approach, including mock interviews, detailed feedback, and targeted practice for specific skills or scenarios.
-
Depth of Analysis: With the longer session, the coach can provide more detailed analysis of your interview performance, strengths, weaknesses, and personalized recommendations for improvement.
-
Practice Opportunities: The longer session allows for additional mock interview practice, giving you more chances to refine your answers, delivery, and receive constructive feedback.
Consider your specific needs and budget when choosing between the one-hour and hour and a half session. The longer session provides a more comprehensive experience with ample time for practice and analysis, while the one-hour option offers a focused approach.
