Ok, so you’ve been asked to travel across the country to interview at a university you’ve never been to, in a city you’re unfamiliar with.

Nervous? Don’t be! This is an exciting opportunity for you to explore a new place, meet some new people, and hopefully, begin a new adventure! Below you’ll find some tips on how to make your journey there and back bearable:

I can enthusiastically recommend Sean’s services as a career coach. He was the only coach I could find who understood how higher education works and the intricacies of the hiring process.

Sean’s advice, resume, and cover letter work is excellent, but the most helpful for me was his interview prep. The practice sessions were incredibly helpful and significantly boosted my confidence in interviews. 10 out of 10.

Thanks.
