Take This Interview Skills Assessment
Discover Your Strengths And Weaknesses
Do you have a situation coming up where you need
to face the media microphones and cameras? Maybe you need to pass
an important school test or licensing exam, and a personal interview
or oral section is required. Perhaps you are job hunting and absolutely
need the best possible interview skill set for those stressful situations.
Whatever the context with an interview, you are giving a performance,
and you have to be at your best.
This assessment tool will quickly provide you with the big picture
in your interview skills. It will help you begin to identify your
strong points, reveal your needed development areas and provide
a focus for any coaching session. It will also serve as a launching
point for understanding how the interview coaching process will
unfold. This assessment is very simple and easy to complete, and
should take you around 5 minutes.
If you've hired me as your interview coach, please fill out this
form and press the Submit button at the end of the assessment to
email this back to me before our first coaching session. You may
also use this form for your self-analysis, to begin working on your
interview skills.
Here's how to complete the following 65-item Interview Skills Assessment.
Answer this based on your specific situation, whether it is media,
school or job interviewing, or a combination.
1. Review this list of interview topics and select the number 1
next to the items that seem MOST important and URGENT to you to
be WORKED ON FIRST.
2. Select the number 2 next to those that seem NEXT most important
to work on.
3. Select the number 3 next to those that seem to be in the THIRD
TIER of importance.
4. Leave a blank space next to those which DON'T seem to be important
now, or at all, or which DO NOT APPLY to you. Answer this based
on your specific situation, whether it is media, school or job interviewing.
5. Select the QUESTION MARK (?) next to those with which you are
unfamiliar and would like clarification.
6. If there are any areas or concerns you would like to address
NOT LISTED here, please enter them in the Questions or Comments
section at the end of this form.
7. Please be sure to print this page after you have entered your
responses and BEFORE you click the Submit button, so you'll have
a record of your responses. I have found that repeated review of
this assessment is quite helpful in allowing you to continue to
see new interview skills vistas.
Here we go with the assessment.
If there are any other interview issues that come
up for you prior to our first coaching session, please write them
down and we will address them. Feel free to contact me at any time
if you have any questions or concerns. I'm here to help you. I am
very excited about working closely with you to help you improve
your comfort level and skill set.
This is a fascinating, fulfilling journey you are about to embark
upon, one which will have far-reaching effects on your career and
on your life.
It will be my privilege to be at your side every step of the way.

P.S.: Once you submit this assessment, and hire me to begin interview
coaching, I will send you our other in-depth, proprietary, 212-item
interview skills assessment, to help us pinpoint the exact issues
and reasons that are holding you back from peak performance in your
interviews. As part of the interview coaching process, that 212-item
comprehensive assessment carries no additional charge. From these
two assessments, and based on our initial phone interview, we will
create a master interview skills strategy.
