Sessions
How a CognitiveComms session unfolds
Whether you book interview preparation or salary negotiation coaching, the rhythm is deliberate: brief thoroughly, rehearse under pressure, then leave with notes you can use the same week.
Working rhythm
Designed for hiring timelines, not open-ended programmes
Most clients come with a fixed interview date or an offer response window. Sessions are scheduled around that constraint. We do not sell multi-month packages that sit unused while your hiring process moves on.
Online video is the default so you can rehearse from wherever you are preparing. Hamburg meetings at our Ohlsdorf address are available when a face-to-face run-through helps.
Session flow
From intake to follow-up notes
-
01
Written intake
You send the job posting, CV, interview invitation, or offer letter. We confirm language (English or German), format, and what success looks like for this engagement.
-
02
Evidence or package briefing
For interviews we draft your evidence map. For salary talks we document your range, priorities, and walk-away points before any role-play begins.
-
03
Live rehearsal
Timed practice with interruptions and follow-ups. Feedback is specific: structure, ownership language, pacing, and how you recover when a question lands awkwardly.
-
04
Notes and practice plan
Within two business days you receive written notes and a short practice routine for the days leading to the real conversation.
Practicalities
What to expect on the day
Length
Rehearsal blocks usually run 60–90 minutes. Intake calls are shorter. We protect time for feedback rather than packing endless questions.
Materials
Have your CV, posting, and any prior interview notes open. For salary sessions, keep the offer letter available to reference numbers accurately.
Rescheduling
Hiring timelines shift. See our refund and cancellation terms for notice windows when interviews move.
