As career professionals, we know that interview preparation can make or break a candidate’s journey. But what if you had a repeatable, teachable method that helps your clients walk into any interview with strategic business insight and stories that resonate?
In this session, career coach and author Gina Riley (upcoming book Qualified Isn’t Enough 9/9/25) introduces her RARE Candidate Framework—a structured, coachable approach to interview prep built around real-world insights as an executive search consultant.
You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how to guide clients through high-stakes interview scenarios using the RARE method: Research, Align, Read the Room, and Evaluate. You'll learn how to help clients align stories using the SOAR framework, and build confidence to show up as their best selves.
You’ll walk away with tools to
- Apply the RARE method to sharpen your clients’ storytelling and presence.
- Help clients go beyond Google and Glassdoor to build a business thesis.
- Align client experiences and impact stories with the company’s needs.
- Coach clients to read stakeholder cues and show up with executive presence.
- Use frameworks that support client decision-making: “Is this job right for me?”
