Certified Interview Coach (CIC)

What coaches say after completing the CIC program with Lili Fogle.

“After 20+ years in career coaching and enterprise outplacement programs, I’m selective about the certifications I pursue. The CIC program stood out for its practical, structured approach to helping clients translate their experience into employer-relevant messages that win interviews. The tools and frameworks are immediately usable with clients and provide a clear methodology that goes well beyond typical interview preparation tactics. Equally valuable was learning from Lili Fogle, who has built a successful interview coaching practice herself. Her real-world experience added depth and practical perspective throughout the program. I highly recommend this certification for career coaches who want to deepen their impact and help clients communicate their value with clarity and confidence.”
