I have an assessment event interview for a personal trainer position – any tips?
I already work for a gym but on a self employed basis so the interview was over in 10 minutes, he just said he liked to see i was enthustiatic about PT! Im a bit nervous, have tried to prepare but just wondering if anyone had any tips, or has been through anything like this themselves! Thanks in advance
Hi Anna. This may be coming too late to help you at this point, but in case it isn’t, and in case others may find themselves in the same or similar position, I still want to answer.
I have had to do this before both in-person and over the telephone. The best single advice I can give is to keep it simple but show enthusiasm for what you’re doing. I train my clients by the ‘show-tell-do’ method and that will probably serve you well in this circumstance. This will show the owner/manager that you can reach clients no matter which method they learn by, and that you understand the exercise by being able to show and explain it. Good luck, I hope this helps.
