""Bill is highly skilled in his profession
and is very quick and thorough with assessing weaknesses and
providing solid solutions. Within only a few sessions, he was
able to provide me incredible feedback which ultimately helped
me shift my interview strategy and tactics and helped me land
a dream role with a very reputable firm. Bill is an essential
resource...I highly recommend him for anyone seeking mentorship,
interview and career coaching."

"One of the things I found most helpful
from Bill was his helping me to identify which work stories
I was going to use to answer a range of questions that asked
me to describe my successes in behavioral type questions. Bill
also helped me develop a strong solid message to say at the
very end of the interview instead of asking the usual 'what's
the next step' type of questions. He is direct, articulate,
and phrases his comments in a way that encourages you to try
harder. There is an art to giving feedback without people getting
defensive and Bill has this down pat!"

We help you polish your resume and curriculum vitae (CV), answer difficult and tricky questions, tell compelling stories that showcase your strengths, and help you handle any situation that can arise in an interview.

If you experience interview anxiety or stage fright we have a state of the art interview psychology training program to teach you mental toughness, poise, and calmness and focus skills so you'll go into your interviews feeling confident.
If you tend to freeze up and go blank, or forget what you wanted to say, we teach you advanced communication techniques that help you gracefully and diplomatically "stall for time" and gain more data while you can think of what to say.
We teach you the art and science of rapport building so you can reduce your discomfort with small talk and have the interviewer like you.
Our collaborative, professional relationship supports, guides and advises you across the full range of the interview process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Finance, Banking and Accounting Interview Coaching
Question: How many hours does this finance, banking and accounting interview coaching take?

Answer: Many other finance, banking and accounting interview coaching programs we have seen require a very large time commitment, upwards of 10-25 hours. However we have found that we work so efficiently that most of our clients need only 4-6 hours with us. Of course we can support you through your entire interview process, at any level of coaching you desire.

Question: I see other coaches charging packages of $2000 to $4000 for finance, banking and accounting interview coaching. Why are these other companies so expensive?

Answer: Interviewing for finance, banking and accounting jobs is expensive in and of itself. The coaching you receive is a very small investment in view of not only the overall value you will receive, but also in comparison to the income you will earn in finance, banking and accounting. Our fees are based only on the coaching you actually receive. You never pay for hours you don't use. Over the course of your coaching time with us, your investment would range from $300-$600 or so.

Question: What aspects of the finance, banking and accounting interview process do you help me with?

Answer: We become your guide for whatever you may need in this process. Some of our services, as part of the coaching and consultation:
- Resume and CV review and editing
- Help you improve your profile on LinkedIn
- Help you craft answers to difficult and sensitive questions
- Help you improve cover letters
- Mock interviews
- Stress management and stage fright control

Installment Or Variable Payments
Note: Normally payments are made using the Credit
Card or PayPal buttons in the blue boxes above. However, coaching
services payments may be made in installments, by special arrangement.
Please contact us for details. To make an installment payment or
to make any other payment to William B. Cole Consultants, go to
the page for making payments of any
amount.
Additional Services
There is no additional charge for reading and
responding to reasonable length emails. For emails or attached documents
that are longer, any time spent with these activities will be counted
as hours in the package you purchased. If the hours exceed the package
hours, they will be invoiced weekly.
We can assist you in many other ways in addition to coaching. This
is a menu of how you can utilize our expertise to create a robust
program of improvement.
- Reading, reacting to and editing documents.

- Reviewing videos.

- Reviewing audios.

- Creating customized audios.

- Creating and editing documents.

- Writing and editing speeches and training materials.

- Creating and conducting surveys and questionnaires.

- Creating and conducting 360 degree reviews.

- Speaking to people you designate, as part of your coaching
program.

- Having us conduct web research, or other research on your behalf.

- Attending your performances or workplaces, or in the field,
observing and debriefing you.

- Speaking by phone or Skype to debrief you after your performances,
while you are still on site, or soon thereafter.
These additional services can be paid for in two
ways, which we will ask you to designate before beginning them.
They could be counted as part of your existing package hours, or
charged as additional services beyond the package, at the hourly
rate within the package you purchased. If these services exceed
the hours in your package, they will be invoiced the week they are
delivered, with payment due at that time.
Travel Expenses For Coaching And
Consulting
We handle travel differently for speaking and
training versus coaching and consulting. For speaking engagements
we can build the travel, hotel and per diem and other expenses into
a custom-quoted all-inclusive fee, or itemize these expenses separate
from the speaking fee. For this type of engagement, there is no
separate per-hour travel fee in addition to the actual travel expenses
incurred. You simply cover our actual travel expenses.
For consulting and coaching engagements, we have two tiers of travel
fees. When we drive our company car to such an engagement, our hourly
travel fee is $100/hour. We charge that because our time is valuable,
and while we are driving we are unable to do work or engage in client
coaching or consulting. In addition, there is wear and tear and
an increase in mileage on the vehicle, and gas and oil expenses.
If we travel by air, train or boat, our hourly travel fee is reduced
to $50/hour, since we do not incur expenses to our company car.
Travel From Palo Alto, California
Travel time begins when we leave our offices
in Palo Alto, California, and ends when we arrive at your door or
the door of the place you designate. Travel expenses include: Taxi,
shuttle, ferry, subway, train, or any other conveyance, and tolls
and parking fees. We fly out of any of three nearby Bay area airports:
San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Jose International
Airport (SJC) and Oakland International Airport (OAK).
Travel time is not computed only by distance via an online map service
for driving. It's based on time, since once we get near your office
we may be searching and waiting for a parking spot, taking another
conveyance and walking to your offices. We also may be held up by
heavy traffic, road work, detours or traffic accidents. All this
time counts towards the total travel time. Travel time is also counted
the same way when we return from your office.
Travel, Other Fees And Expenses And Time Frames
Travel, hotel and per diem expenses and fees
can be handled in any of these ways: You can book and pay for our
travel expenses, we can invoice you, or we can take these expenses
and fees off any coaching package you purchase.
We serve our clients far beyond normal 9-5pm Monday-Friday working
hours, because our clients work across the US and the globe, and
because we often travel to observe and coach our clients as they
perform, compete and work. We often work early in the morning, late
at night, and on Saturday and Sunday to best meet their needs. Travel
fees are due anytime we drive our company car to you or an event
for you. When we travel to you or to an event for you by plane,
and the plane leaves after 8pm and arrives prior to 6am, there are
no travel fees assessed, since we could not be serving other clients
at those times. Travel fees are waived if any daily coaching / consulting
contract exceeds $4,000.
Our Coaching Sessions Are Guaranteed
I guarantee the quality of our coaching sessions. I guarantee
to you that each coaching session will be of the highest quality, and will
give you the best cutting-edge content and success strategies. However, I
cannot predict, know, monitor or guarantee what you will do with the lessons,
insights and content learned in these sessions. Therefore, when you use our
coaching, materials and products you are not guaranteed to improve learning,
performance, income, health, fitness or specific earnings. No one can guarantee
such outcomes because your results will depend on variables and factors outside
our control including, but not limited to: your motivation, your diligence
and discipline, your capabilities, your creativity, your health and fitness,
your compliance with our recommendations and suggestions, and other factors
which neither party has control over.
I will ask you, many times in each coaching session, if things make sense,
and if you know how to practice and actually use what we discuss, and what
I teach you. At the end of each coaching session, I will ask if that session
met your expectations. If you say yes, we will consider that session successful.
If you say no, I will spend additional time with you, at no additional charge,
at that time, or at a mutually convenient time, to resolve your concerns.
If I cannot resolve your concerns at that time, I will refund all your monies
paid for that particular coaching session in question. If this coaching session
in question was part of a package, when you receive a refund for that session,
we will also refund the rest of your unused coaching package monies. This
will be prorated per the package you purchased, not at the full non-package
hourly rate. Whenever you make the next coaching package payment that is due
or make a pay as you go payment, this indicates that you are satisfied with
the coaching up to that point, and that you wish to continue the coaching
program.
Our Coaching Is Confidential
Trust forms the core of the coaching relationship.
We respect what you say, and will not repeat your material to
anyone or to any entity. We maintain your confidentiality
and privacy in all communications and we maintain safe and
secure written records of your account. We do not disclose that
you are a client if you do not want that known.
