The Second Biggest
Interview Question……For Coaches
Why do you want to coach
here????
This is
the make or break question and how you answer it is critical in you getting a
job offer. However, there is an underlying
theme here. The school still wants to
know what you can do for them and how you can add value.
You must
be positive in your answer and you must communicate your passion for this
position.
You want
to break down your answer into three parts.
1.
Admire
the school
2.
Learning
3.
Add
Value
What do you admire about the school?
Program, Academics,
Student-Athletes, People, Reputation, Leadership, Facilities, Commitment, etc.
What will you learn? Opportunities
for growth, develop current skills, building something very special, realize my
full potential, etc.
How I can add value? “Job
specific needs”, Graduation Rates, Add Boosters, Develop Student
Athletes, Expertise, Solve a Problem, I can bring a winning viewpoint, etc.
Ex. I’ve admired XYZ School for a long
time. You have a 1st class
organization. Your Schools values are something I really
believe in. I’m excited about being part
of a (winning) team that I can continue to grow and build something
very special. I believe I can add value
immediately by implementing my training program and as I just learned, I can
contribute with the fundraising as well.
You
don’t get hired based on an interview.
However, you won’t get hired based on a poor interview!
