Comprehensive Application Service

Overview of Services.

My consulting services are designed to be comprehensive and are offered in three distinct phases, ensuring tailored support throughout the entire application and interview process.

Phase 1. Application Preparation

Cover Letter Development. Collaborative crafting of a compelling cover letter tailored to the executive position, ensuring alignment with the candidate information statement.
CV Enhancement. Refinement of your existing CV to highlight relevant experiences and qualifications that align to the specific demands and culture of the destination school.
Criteria Response Statement. Assistance in developing a robust statement addressing the specific selection criteria for the role.

Phase 2. Interview Advancement

Interview Preparation. Comprehensive preparation for initial recruiter screening and subsequent panel interviews, including multiple iterations to refine your approach.
Mock Interview Questions. Provision of draft interview questions and guidance on formulating insightful questions for the interview panel.
Presentation Development. Support in creating a 5-10 minute presentation for the panel, critical to demonstrating your vision and leadership style.
Final Interview Coaching. Strategic advice for the final interview stages.

Phase 3. Contract Negotiation

Negotiation Assistance. Expert support during contract negotiations to secure terms that reflect your experience and value to the school. I provide expert guidance on the terms, conditions, and benefits that are appropriate for an executive position in independent schools, drawing on extensive experience. I offer market value advice and insight into which clauses are standard or should be avoided. However, please note that my advice is based on industry knowledge and experience, not legal expertise. For legal advice, I can recommend a great lawyer who works in this space.

Commitment to Excellence

I understand the depth of preparation required for such a pivotal role. Rest assured, I will be with you every step of the way, available on-call as needed, to ensure you are fully prepared and confident at each stage of the process.
