How the hour works
Competency questions
I ask the questions you’re likely to face, you answer as you would on the day, and we tighten each answer using STAR: situation, task, action, result.
Sales scenarios
I play the customer: a consultant who’s never used your product, a procurement lead pushing on price, a key account about to switch. You run the conversation and we review it together.
Your story
“Tell me about yourself” and “why this role” are the questions every panel opens with. We make yours clear, confident and specific to the company.
Presentation and follow-ups
If your interview includes a presentation, send it over beforehand. We rehearse it and practise the panel’s follow-up questions.
