You Don’t Have to Do This Alone: Building Our Interview Coach Community

As coaches, we spend most of our days in one-on-one sessions. We hear a tip from a recruiter here. Read a valuable study there. But the work itself? It’s siloed. I’ve long craved a dedicated, trusted space to stop being an isolated practitioner and start operating as part of an elite interview intelligence collective. So tough client questions don’t have to live only in my head anymore.

Not an echo chamber. I’m talking about community. And I’d love for you to be a part of it.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce PARWCC Interview Insights, a monthly meeting designed to solve the network gap interview coaches quietly feel every day. It’s where we can turn to a room of experienced, engaged professionals and ask questions focused specifically on interviewing. Because interview coaches are more than coaches. We are experts who must stay current. We are skill instructors who need better tools. And we are educators responsible for building learning arcs that lead to real client outcomes.

Interview processes are evolving fast as AI automates more of the hiring pipeline. The questions being asked, the skills being assessed, and the way clients need to prepare to succeed have all shifted quickly and dramatically. Being an expert today requires a constant pulse check on what is actually happening in interviews across every industry right now.

And because we teach skills, not just share advice, we are always looking for better strategies, better frameworks, and better ways to help clients speak with clarity and authenticity under pressure. The most effective source for that learning is not theory. It is other coaches doing this work every day, experimenting, adjusting, and seeing what actually holds up in practice.

And as educators, we are responsible for how learning unfolds over time. We decide what to introduce first, when to push, when to pause, and how to give motivating feedback that actually changes behavior without undermining confidence. That kind of teaching improves when educators learn from one another about what works, and what does not.

Just imagine what happens when you take 20 interview coaches, each having worked with 100 clients, and put them in a room. That is 2,000 unique client experiences and data points. We stop coaching only from our own experience and start coaching from shared intelligence, so we can better serve every type of client who walks through our door.

We can tap into an interview-focused hive mind for current intelligence on the interview landscape in different industries:

• What should my client expect in a FAANG interview?
• Are the Big Four consulting firms using AI-scored skills assessments?
• What is the best prep for Superday interviews for a new MBA grad?

We can get adaptive strategies for unique client challenges, like:

• I have a client who got some press for suing her former employer for wrongful termination, and it shows up when you Google her. Should she proactively address it?
• My client has a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation to fulfill the role. Should they disclose that in the interview?
• My client won’t let go of scripting answers and reading notes. What strategies have you found successful for weaning them off the writing crutch?

We can be part of an interview coaching community of resources from:

• Experienced interview coaches.
• Recruiters and HR professionals working in the career services space.
• Professionals with industry backgrounds spanning tech, finance, education – and so much more.
• Newly certified coaches who bring fresh, growth-minded energy.

There is no other gathering like this for interview coaches. But PARWCC has never been afraid to be the first. This commitment to community is the very heart of the PARWCC Interview Institute. And we’re just getting started. If you’ve been craving a place where your interview work, questions, and expertise actually belong, you just found it.
