Jane has coached thousands of job seekers through the search process. One international job seeker was coming across as too formal in the interview and she pointed to the cultural difference between his home country and his newly adopted country. Jane suggested a more relaxed interview style would mesh better with the prospective hiring manager. The candidate’s new approach worked like a charm and he landed the job. For a new Ivy League college graduate who had plenty of first-round interviews but had not been able to gain any traction beyond that, she suggested he more clearly enunciate his words in order to come across more confidently.
