There's a fine balance between being prepared for an interview and coming across as scripted and rehearsed.  Through our prep, you will become prepared for your interview while also getting to a comfort level where your personality can come out rather than suppressing it through your interview process.  We offer a plethora of information on this site that we encourage you to explore before your phone sessions and final session with our team.
