Interview coaching · Behavioral mock interview
James is phenomenal interview coach! He really goes above and beyond to prepare for each coaching session. If you have a specific company you're interviewing with, he'll make sure he does his research and tailor cases to work through realistic business problems those companies might be facing. If there is a specific skill or competency your interviewers are testing for, he'll extrapolate multiple questions to pressure-test your situational answer bank. He was also a great sounding board for questions to ask interviewers at the end of an interview. Thanks for rooting for me and helping to rebuild my confidence in interviewing! Book your sessions with James -- you won't regret it!

Interview coaching · General discussion
James was incredible to work with. I booked him only a day in advance and he was able to accommodate me. As a physics major, I am a beginner in this realm of business case studies, but that was not an issue for James. We worked on behavioral questions and a couple mock cases. He was great at giving feedback and just had really positive energy overall. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for practice, no matter what stage you are in.
