Ace International Relations and Think Tank Interviews
Congratulations on taking the first step towards landing a job in international relations! This package gives you a focused, highly realistic practice run so your answers land clearly with panelists who don’t know your context. First, I'll review your submitted application materials and prepare challenging and relevant questions. Then, we’ll run a 30–minute mock drawing on my experience interviewing aspiring interns and full-time hires at one of Washington DC's top think tanks. Finally, we’ll spend 30 minutes on a live debrief, sharpening structure, proof, and delivery. I don’t script answers for you; I coach clarity and structure so your real voice comes through. Recording is welcome for your personal review. Note: This is a tiered package. You can save a lot on per-hour costs by buying a package including several mock interviews.
What's included
I will read your entire submitted application (or all the sections that you feel comfortable sharing) in advance of our conversation and come ready with relevant, thought-provoking, and challenging questions. We'll then have one mock interview (or more, depending on which package you choose), followed by a live feedback session. Policies and Terms: -Preparation Materials: Clients are responsible for sending all relevant materials at least 12 hours in advance of our conversation. -Rescheduling and Missed Appointments: You may reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before the session. If you ask to reschedule between 24 and 6 hours before the session, a 50% fee will be applied (calculated on the session price). If you reschedule or cancel within 6 hours, arrive 15+ minutes late, or do not attend, the session's full fee will be charged, and the session will be considered used. -No Guarantee of Employment Offer: While coaching significantly improves preparation, hiring outcomes are never guaranteed. -Independence: This service is independent coaching and is not affiliated with any particular organization in the International Relations/Think Tank industries.
