Never let a coach stop you from being yourself. The person who is too polished and turns every question to a pat answer is an easy spot. The last thing you want is a job where it turns out there is a bad match between the hiree and the employer because the candidate &quot;gamed&quot; the questions.

Gestures, words, talking speed, and the answer to the interview questions. The more we do it the better we get at it.<br /><br />This is why I love networking events. Every time you meet someone it is like a mini interview.<br /><br />I do have a friend who is a career coach. We meet for coffee several times in the year and talk about many things. Often I share my interview stories and get useful feedback.<br /><br />My overall view on this is, practice makes perfect. Join a Toastmasters club as a transitioning service member.
