Steven/Beyond the A created a personal experience that was tailored to fit my needs. I enjoyed having the opportunity to take insightful feedback and apply it immediately towards refining my responses. Steven was able to help me flush out certain points I wanted to highlight during my upcoming interviews.

Steven is very approachable and friendly, which makes everything easier!

I also appreciated that this was an opportunity to talk to someone who was invested in me nailing the interview process. Steven's professionalism leaves no doubt that he has expertise in how firm's recruit students.

I liked that the session was practical and structured. We started from the overall approach to finessing individual answers. I especially appreciated going over the same question repetitively until we reached a satisfying answer. I will use this form of deliberate practice to prepare for my future interviews.

It was useful to point out and keep in mind the nuances of virtual interviews. It is great to receive feedback regarding my virtual demeanour so I could consciously correct myself in practice.

Steven was energetic, engaged, and I could tell how much satisfaction he got from helping me "hack" the OCI process! I especially liked how he broke down specific answers from my mock interview and worked through step-by-step how the answers could be improved.

Personalized feedback, really took the time to workshop and perfect certain answers, while identifying the elements to a strong answer.

I think the method that Steven used to breakdown the interview process was very useful. We went step-by-step on key questions, the reasons why those questions are asked, and how to respond in a way that addresses the underlying reasons. The iterative process also helps consolidate some abstract takeaways into realistic answers.

Steven was a kind and attentive coach. You gave me really good feedback on specifics on what to work on in my responses and some more things to think about re: questions to ask employers.

I appreciated the opportunity to have feedback on my interview style, as well as to determine which questions gave me a hard time. From there, we were able to drill down answers and I feel my confidence in the interview process has already grown.

Extremely helpful, I recommend this to all students looking to improve their interviewing skills.

I left the session feeling much more confident and prepared for OCIs. In addition, I was able to improve my interviewing skills drastically through the 1-on-1 session. He was able to provide valuable insights to my answers drawing from his experience on the student committee at a national firm. 

I would highly recommend Beyond the A as a resource for anyone going through the OCI or Articling recruit process.

I loved that it was personalized. It was incredibly helpful to have a one-on-one session that was tailored to my needs and that reflected the things I wanted to work on.

It went great! I liked that I got to practice answering questions I got asked most often, and that they took note of what was effective or ineffective in each of my responses so that we can refine my them together.

I think I became a bit more aware about the emotional and psychological aspect of the interview process. This is especially helpful when the entire interview is conducted in such a short time slot.

I enjoyed the condensed focused information regarding answer interview questions and asking questions during the Interview. It was a great refresher and starting point.

Appreciated the opportunity to be put on the spot in a mock interview that felt very real! Because of his experience, he was able to effectively deliver a mock interview in a setting that feels entirely real.
