"Absolutely! The client and I have built a relationship and they feel comfortable with me. I'm the best person to ask them the tough interview questions and coach them through the answers. With coaching and encouragement, "‹I know they will do great!"

Practice, Practice, Practice! As a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor you've had the opportunity to help your clients from initial meeting to closing the deal with an interview prep. Tell the interviewer that you prepare a list of questions based on the client's job opportunity. Tell the interviewer that you work with the client to come up with the best answers and provide constructive feedback.
