Read that as, just be yourself. If you need a coach, you’re not yourself.
I’ve already done the prep with emerald coast. Had I not, I probably would have steered clear prior.
I did an interview prep with Emerald Coast.
They did not give me answers or stories. They emphasized that I needed to be authentic and truthful.
What they did was helped me think of stories for different HR questions that were mine and genuine and help me refine those answers. How to put my response in the correct format. Trip falls to avoid. How to condense my “tell me about yourself” story. Practice on how to interact on an interview.
Would I have made it without their help? Maybe. But I’m glad I spent the money on their help.
