| You only get one chance when you interview with a company. If you don't do well, there are no mulligans or do-overs. To get the job you want, you need to be prepared and you need to know what to expect.
Of all the steps in preparing, the most important is practicing your interview skills. The more you practice, the better you will get. Unfortunately, most job seekers rely on a series of failed interview attempts as their only practice. This is inefficient and only provides a hire/no-hire decision as feedback. |
Interview Recordings
We give you the option to receive a recording of the mock interviews. You can then listen to your answers and our feedback at your leisure, ensuring you maximize the benefits of the training. Many of our customers have said this is the most valuable aspect of the training.

Palladian offers job seekers the opportunity to practice their interview skills with a trained interview coach.
In a mock interview, we ask a series of questions tailored to your situation and career goals. After the interview, you will receive:
- Immediate feedback so you know how you did
- Specific recommendations for how you can improve
- A written report detailing our assessment and recommendations
We will customize the interview we conduct to best match your needs. Most job seekers find our standard interview type and style is the most helpful. If you need something different, let us know. If you are unsure what will help you most, feel free to email us with your questions.
Interview Type
Standard Interview - The standard interview Palladian recommends for most people. This interview style incorporates Behavioral questions with experience and skill based questions.
Experienced Based Interview - Reviews your experiences, typically in order of your resume. Example: "At ABC Company, how many people did you manage and what were your responsibilities?"
Behavioral Interview - Situation based questions designed to solicit examples of your performance. Example: "Tell me about a time when you faced a difficult leadership challenge."
Skill Based Interview - Questions related to specific skills, often with technical questions designed to validate your skill level. Example: "What is your proficiency with Microsoft Excel?"
Creative/Aptitude Interview - Questions designed to test your creative or problem solving abilities. Example: "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" |
Interview Style
Standard - The standard style Palladian recommends for most coaching sessions is a combination of Clinical and Confrontational. This style is commonly used by employers usually the most difficult for candidates.
Friendly - This interview fosters a dialog and works to uncover the personality of the candidate.
Clinical - The interviewer strives to remain emotionless in the interview in order to assess the candidate's skills and reduce the influence of their personality on the candidate's performance.
Confrontational - The interviewer strives to make the candidate uncomfortable, often by repeating the same or similar questions, doubting the candidate's answers, and focusing on the candidate's weaknesses. This style is designed to assess the candidate's ability to handle adversity and confrontation. |
