Shaking hands - after winning a job offer
SMART Interview Preparation:  Win The Job Offers You Deserve

Once you get to a job interview, will you be able to beat all the other candidates and win a job offer, or will someone else steal that job offer that should have been yours? SMART Interview Preparation by Bradley CVs can transform your interview performance.

Remember, you really only have one chance to get a job interview right.

The candidates who get job offers are not necessarily the most experienced or best qualified. They are the candidates who have prepared best before the interview. You can no longer just turn up unprepared, because an experienced interviewer will just destroy you.

But, how well prepared are you for a job interview?

It can be terribly difficult to prepare for an interview on your own, as it's impossible to be objective about yourself. As experienced interviewers, we have come across all the problems you face and can tell you objectively where you are going wrong and how you can vastly improve your own interview performance and win the job offers you desire.

What Problems Do You Face at a Job Interview?

If you have any of the problems listed below, then you would greatly benefit from SMART Interview Preparation by Bradley CVs:

  • When you attend interviews, do you get as many job offers as you think you deserve?
  • Can you handle difficult or unexpected interview questions that an interviewer may ask you?
  • Are you able to convince an interviewer that you are better than all of the other candidates?
  • Will an interviewer quickly uncover any weaknesses that may immediately rule you out?
  • Are you lacking confidence or do you feel very nervous before the interview itself?
  • Do you have any specific problems or issues that may potentially cost you the job offer?
  • Do you worry about your overall interview performance and how you come across?
  • How often after an interview do you say to yourself: "I wish I'd handled that better, if only I'd said ... instead!"

You may struggle to get job offers, if you have any of the above problems, because there are lots of other great candidates who are happy to steal the job offers that could have been yours.

Are you supremely confident that you can overcome these problems on your own? If you can't, then you may struggle to get the job offers that you desire and it may take you much longer to find a job than it should do.

You can totally eliminate all these problems with SMART Interview Preparation and the SMARTER Interview Preparation Programme by Bradley CVs. Discover how you can excel in a job interview - don't end up frustrated and struggling.

The SMARTER Interview Preparation Programme, from £197 for a 2-Session programme

Job Search Coaching Call Photo 2

You may feel that you want to cover several of the topics listed under SMART Interview Preparation or that you would like more than just one telephone coaching session. For instance, you might want several sessions to practise answering difficult interview questions or you might need ongoing help and support whilst you are being interviewed for a particular job that you really want.

It can be hard trying to prepare for interviews on your own, but several sessions on the phone with a friendly expert can make a real difference to your interview performance. Your programme can be tailored to your individual needs and could for example include:

  • Help overcoming any specific problems or issues you face or overcoming setbacks (if you've already had interviews and they didn't go very well).
  • Fine-tuning your interview answers, especially for difficult or unexpected interview questions.
  • A second mock interview, which will allow you to find out if you've corrected the mistakes you made in the first mock interview.
  • Goal and objective setting - crucial if you aren't self-motivated and need someone else to motivate you.
  • Ongoing telephone coaching on any of the interview topics listed above under SMART Interview Preparation.

Options:

  • £197 for a 2-Session SMARTER Interview Preparation Programme, including 2 one-hour telephone coaching sessions.
  • £297 for a 3-Session SMARTER Interview Preparation Programme, including 3 one-hour telephone coaching sessions.
  • £397 for a 4-Session SMARTER Interview Preparation Programme, including 4 one-hour telephone coaching sessions.

What makes Bradley CVs stand out and why you should choose us?

We have a wealth of knowledge and experience about the entire recruitment process and how important it is to optimise an interview opportunity. You don't get a second chance to impress with a job interview!

Bradley CVs was founded in 1993 - throughout this period we have had the pleasure of successfully helping people with the complete CV writing, job search and interview preparation cycle.

There will no doubt be occasions when travelling home after an interview where you think of a far superior answer to a question than the one you gave in the heat of the moment. But of course it's too late to make amends after the event.

During the SMART Interview Preparation programme we will equip you with the tools and techniques to ensure you feel confident before attending the interview and are able to sparkle conversationally throughout it. So afterwards, you will no longer have any doubts about your interview performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

You will find answers to the questions we are most frequently asked below.

What's included in the telephone coaching sessions?

This depends on what you want us to focus on, as the coaching is completely tailored to meet your individual requirements.

If you have booked SMART Interview Preparation (which is just a one-hour session), then we will only have time to focus on one or two topics - we'd recommend focusing on the area where you feel you are weakest.

If you opt for the SMARTER Interview Preparation programme, then there will be more time to look at your performance as a whole. In addition, you will get the chance to put what you have learnt to the test.

Do I need to supply any information before a session?

No, we will establish an agenda to suit you before we begin to deliver any content. Previous poor interview performances that are likely to cause you concerns in the future will be discussed and firmly addressed.

How will I remember what is covered?

Taking notes is optional, but it is an excellent way of remembering things in your own preferred style. To complement this you will receive a comprehensive aide-memoire in the form of the SMART Interview Preparation session notes that you can refer back to at any time.

I'll be applying for specialised jobs in niche sectors - can you still help me with interview preparation?

Yes of course! Irrespective of the type of job you are applying for, our interview preparation techniques will be suitable and we can adapt them accordingly.

Do you offer face-to-face meetings at your offices?

Our coaching sessions are not recruitment interviews, so there is no advantage in meeting face-to-face when a phone call at our expense is just as effective. We work with clients worldwide, so it is simply not practical or necessary for us to have offices in every town or city.

Being outside of the UK means I'm in a different time zone, can you still help me?

Yes, we are used to working across different time zones - all we ask is that you are able speak and understand English.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Debit, MasterCard, Maestro, American Express, JCB, PayPal, UK cheques and UK postal orders.

Do you accept PayPal payments?

Yes, we accept PayPal.

Can I pay with a relative's or a friend's debit or credit card?

Yes, but you need to have this person present if you are placing an order on the phone, as our merchant provider requires the verbal consent of the card holder.

Client Reviews

The advice and support you gave me during the mock interview was fantastic and my confidence following the mock interview was very high.

This obviously came through in the actual interview itself last Tuesday and I have been offered the job.

Many thanks and I've recommended your services to many colleagues who I know will be contacting you in the near future.

-- Lisa Slingsby

Whilst waiting for the interview I sat next to a lady who was applying for the same post as me and it became quite clear that she hadn't done any preparation - this boosted my confidence as I had!

At the end of the interview I felt so pleased with myself! It was the first time I had been to an interview where I can honestly say I could not have answered any of the questions more effectively.

Contacting Bradley CVs for Interview Preparation was a sound investment. I successfully obtained a new job and I am now earning £15,000 more than I was before. Not bad for an outlay of £197.
