Winning strategies from the world's best MBA interview coach
-
I offer an Interview Intensive Seminar for first and second round interviews. These are typically held in October, November January, and February. Please email interviews@vinceprep.com for details.
- From August through March, I provide one-hour mock interview sessions with feedback. I also provide extended multi-hour training.
- Depending on your needs, in an initial session, we might begin with an initial diagnostic mock interview for me to determine your strengths and weaknesses and then focus on strategy and answer modeling. Subsequent sessions might consist of more strategy, answer modeling, and mock interviewing.
My interview clients get results because I help them figure out what to say (logical content), and how to say it (impressive delivery).
LOGICAL CONTENT
- I have taught writing and critical thinking for 20 years.
- Earlier my career, I won a Distinguished Teaching Award from the State of Louisiana.
- Now, I teach some of the world's top engineers and scientists at The University of Tokyo how to present their ideas on paper and in person.
IMPRESSIVE DELIVERY
- I am a professional stage actor who has performed with The American Shakespeare Center.
- During university, I was a founding member of The Stanford Improvisers.
- I studied under Patricia Ryan Madson, who has taught everyone from college students to Silicon Valley executives how to tell persuasive stories.
For Vince's best methods and tips, please refer the contents listed in the column to the left.
TESTIMONIALS
-
Harvard Business School Class of 2012: "Vince's Interview Intensive was quite helpful. Experiencing the interviewer's role helped me pass adcom and alumni interviews for HBS and Wharton."
-
INSEAD Class of 2012: "Thank you very much for your advice and support facing my interviews. I could see the impact of your suggestions in the interviews first hand."
-
Chicago Booth Class of 2010: "One of the biggest benefits of Vince’s seminar is seeing other applicants' interview styles. Specifically, brainstorming Q&A questions as a group helped me to prepare for actual interview situations. It was also useful to hear about other applicants’ recent interview experiences.”
