Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare for my Single Session?

To maximise your 60-90 minute session, we recommend preparing in advance by:

  • Submitting your selection criteria or pitch document at least 24 hours before your appointment
  • Noting specific areas where you feel your application needs improvement
  • Preparing 2-3 questions about the Australian Public Service interview process
  • Having the job advertisement and position description available for reference

Can I focus exclusively on interview technique or selection criteria?

Yes, absolutely. While our Single Session typically covers both areas, you can choose to focus entirely on one aspect if you prefer. Just let us know your preference when booking, and your coach will tailor the session accordingly to your specific needs in the Australian Public Service context.

How soon can I book a session?

For regular bookings we can usually accommodate appointments within 3-5 business days. For urgent requests (interviews scheduled within 48 hours), we offer priority booking when available for an additional $50 fee. We recommend scheduling your session as early as possible, especially during busy periods like bulk recruitment periods.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! While we're based in Canberra and offer in-person coaching, we provide virtual sessions via Zoom or Microsoft Teams at the same price for Australia wide services. This is ideal for interstate applicants targeting local government & federal roles or for local candidates who prefer the convenience of online coaching.

What if I need additional support after my session?

Your Single Session includes 7 days of email support for follow-up questions. If you find you need more comprehensive assistance, you can either book another Single Session or upgrade to our Complete Interview Package, with credit for your initial session applied to the package price.
