Let's find the job you're looking for...

Interview Coaching is great for people who are ready to make a transition to a new field, role, organization, better human environment, or to join a collaboration. The mistake most people make is that they search for jobs based on titles or functions (sales assistant, project manager, etc) and then look at the specifications requested for in the job posting. Then, they try to match their resume and their interview with the job post as it was written. 

While that may have worked in the past, the work world is changing. What can prepare one for a good match at a new job is also changing. 

Learn How To Nail Your Interviews The First Time

Understanding the dynamics of collaboration, how you can best show up, and how to both prepare and then engage with potential employers and project team managers require a level of self-awareness, communication skills, and ability to find where you fit. Armed with that, I can help you discover the unique places where you add value to a new role. 

This awareness can ensure that you not only get the job, but you also get to play the role you would like in the structures you best work in, and with the people who will help you feel whole and alive in your work.

Improve the quality of your search and interview preparation

Improve how you show up and project confidence

Improve how you answer and ask questions so seen as concise, clear, coherent, and relevant

Improve how to navigate the personal chemistry in the interview so you both engage with the person and show competence for what really matters

There are not enough words to express how thankful I am to have worked with Jeff. I was connected to him after being laid off due to COVID. The anxiety of not knowing what to do next was a bit overbearing but once we began our sessions together over a period of four months, the anxiety quickly diminished. I wasn't sure what to expect but Jeff's approach to getting to know his clients by asking the right questions, suggesting different types of assessments, and projecting an overall genuine care in helping you reach your career goals was more than I ever could have expected. He is absolutely wonderful at not only reframing the way you consider choosing a career but also helping you discover strengths you may not have even known you possessed. Choosing to work with him was one of the best decisions I could have made and I will be forever grateful that I have him as a connection as well as someone I now consider a true friend.

"Few people have the ability to coach with the expert emotional intelligence, wisdom, and caring of Jeff Saperstein. I had the pleasure of working with Jeff as I was exploring a mid-career change in the spring of 2016. From very early on I felt like Jeff "got me". His nuanced, precise communication made each of our co-created sessions productive and rich. An exceptional listener, Jeff had a gifted ear for what I was saying as well as what I was not saying, and skillfully helped me to tune in more deeply to my blind spots and self limiting beliefs. Over our 5 months of coaching, I took action by transitioning to a fabulous new job aligned to my values and developing a clear career roadmap. I am deeply grateful to Jeff and highly recommend him to anyone seeking to learn and live fully."

My approach to interview coaching includes communication skills and techniques but goes beyond the mechanics to understand how you can succeed based on your unique experiences, skills, and preferences. 

I work with people at all levels of career-early, mid, late, and post. 

Here are some of the common areas to work on: listening skills', managing defensiveness (in self and others), reading people with insight, giving and receiving signals, critiquing, and taking critique in a positive, constructive way.
