JaimeJul 01, 2024  - Interview coaching
Pavan's feedback was spot-on and confirmed the areas that both my partner, whom isn't in the field, and myself, had prior to doing the mock interview. Beyond this, the day prior to the interview prep, I was surprised with an opportunity to chat with a hiring manager about a completely new and different opportunity. Rather than focus on the mock interview, I wanted to cover how to answer certain questions related to a previous job as well as how to address a particular area of possible weakness germane to the surprise opportunity. Pavan, with very little advanced notice accommodated my "ask" and still help me on the originally planned interview critique. He was also willing to answer some questions about a company I had applied to, for several positions over the years, and only ever had two first-time interviews with. He left me with the feeling that he truly wants to help and does so respectfully and well. I will definitely be requesting his assistance prior to my next critical interview.

The session with Pavan was deeply inspiring. It took me a while to reflect and understand the relevance of his feedback after putting into practice all of the practical advice I got from the session. Sharing his experience with me greatly improved my current work and helped me create a team that trusts my work and trusts each other. Managing a team is challenging but definitely easier when a coach guides you through what you can not see. I appreciate Pavan's guidance deeply.
