“Received my results back from my phase 2 interview and I passed!!”

GOOD NEWS   \o/

Hi Carole,

I just received my results back from my phase 2 interview and I passed!! I wanted to thank you for your tough guidance through my preparation. I really gave them an impression of who “I really was.”

 The biggest thing I did was listen and be myself.

Question, factor, story is all I kept saying in my head.

I had them laughing in the beginning with my sense of humor so that helped me relax and just use my experience to guide me through.

Lastly, I used most of my stories but had to morph a couple of times. You were right I actually had stories come to me that I didn’t prepare, which was fine.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate everything!

NOT SO GOOD NEWS

FROM A CLIENT

So, I got an email today stating that due to implementations to the special agent selection system,

Phase 2 results may be delayed up to 90 days.

Have you heard of this before?

My reply —“NO.”

We all know “nothing” is normal – so expect delays in every direction of this process.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING YOURSELF…..from clients who passed Phase II.

Hi Carole,

I just received my results back from my phase 2 interview and I passed!! I wanted to thank you for your tough guidance through my preparation. My 5 points came in handy and my “Why the FBI” Really gave them an impression of who I really was. The biggest thing I did was listen and be myself.

At the end of it, I could tell they liked me. I was 100% myself, I did not try to tell the stories perfectly, I tried to tell them like I would tell them to my coworkers. I fumbled, I was awkward, but I was me. 

And that was good enough for them.

Thank you Carole for all of your encouragement, for telling me to not be a perfectionist in the interview, to not overthink.

That was the best advice, and I truly needed to hear that constructive criticism.

 I truly felt prepared, relaxed, and ready to let these Agents get to know “me.”
