Interview Skills Coach

I had trouble landing promotional positions because I was so nervous during the interview I couldn’t think straight. Kirk gave me useful advice and tips that helped me organize my thoughts and be better prepared. Also, practicing answering interview questions with Kirk helped me be more relaxed and able to deal with the real thing. I am happy to say that after working with Kirk I was offered a promotion. Success!

People judging you based on a 30 minute conversation? No thanks. I hate interviews. They’re scary and nerve-​wracking.
However, after meeting with Kirk for a few interviewing coaching sessions, I can now say I don’t hate or dread interviews as much. Progress? I think so. In fact, I can say I’ve got my stories down!
If you have any hesitations about your interview skills or need a neutral person to practice with, Kirk is that person! He provides great insight into general interview behaviors and practices, as well as how you appear to him when you speak and how your body language appears to him.
From the beginning, Kirk really makes an effort to get to know you and to make sure you’re relaxed. If you did your homework (studied your job description and employer and prepped your introductory spiel, etc.), then you’ll have a great session with Kirk! He’d ask potential questions the interviewers might ask, and give his opinion on how I sounded and whether or not it was articulated well.
You should schedule a session with Kirk. In fact, you should schedule multiple ones. Practice makes perfect!
I’m happy to say that I got the job I wanted thanks to Kirk! He loves hearing success stories, so share your next one with him!

Kirk had me do my research. Gather information about the company and the position available. I had to specifically relate my experience to the duties the job opportunity entails. I practiced interviewing with him over and over until I had it down to a science. Kirk made sure I paid attention to body language and verbal presentation. I would recommend him to everyone.

I have not had an interview in several years. Kirk helped me to be prepared for my first interview in over five years. He asked me questions that might be asked during the interview and coached me on how to fully respond to those questions by incorporating voice, tone, and body language. Kirk is very empathetic and patience, willing to work with me until we both believe that I am prepared. Actual questions asked during the interview were the questions raised by Kirk. Feedback from the interview panel was that I come across as very professional and knowledgeable. In fact I did so well, the company did not offer a job because they think I was over qualified and soon be bored. Kirk is highly recommended if you want to ace your interview.

Kirk Pennington, is a great Interview Skills Coach. He worked closely with me to help build my confidence and skill set so that I could better my answers in an interview. He helped me think more analytically when I answered my questions as well as provided great real world examples of different ways certain questions have been approached. He is easy to talk with and really wants to help his students succeed. I ended up getting a job thanks to Kirk and I can honestly say I couldn’t have done it without his help.

Let me first say that Kirk provides his clients with PRICELESS insight into the interview process. When I found out I had a job interview for a position in which a nationwide search for candidates had been initiated, a few acquaintances of mine referred me to Kirk, who said that they had a great success in their interviews. Given that I was completely nervous and anxious about my upcoming interview (it had been awhile since my last interview and the competition was stiff to say the least), I contacted him right away.
When I went to my coaching session with Kirk, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly atmosphere created by his teaching style. He was relaxed, yet, kept a intense and challenging pace which gave me great practice at the real thing (the interview!). We covered a lot of interview tips during the day. Thank you so much Kirk, I was so prepared for the interview. By the way, I did get the job!

Kirk Pennington, the Interview Skills Coach is extraordinary! He doesn’t just talk about what it takes to have a good interview. He will have you practice so you gain confidence and poise. Kirk coached me on how to take all the work experience and help me present it in a way that was articulate, authentic and professional. Kirk is also funny and easy going so you feel very comfortable with him as your Interview Coach. So if you want an Interview Coach in San Jose or the South Bay area, I highly recommend Kirk Pennington! I got the job and so can you!
