Interview Preparation
for Scholarships, Law School
and Medical School




Here is a sampling of what those who have worked with Kathryn had to say:

"I truly have to thank Ms. Cobb for preparing me for the most important interview of my life. I was selected as a Wofford Scholar during my junior year of high school. The interview was the determining factor for the amount of scholarship money I would receive to attend Wofford. I was recently notified that my scholarship package totals $32,000 a year! I honestly feel that I would not have received such a generous award without Ms. Cobb's influence. My sessions with her enabled me to actually relax and approach my interview with confidence. I am forever grateful to Ms. Cobb for helping make my dreams come true. Nothing opens the doors of opportunity more than good communication skills and I think Ms. Cobb has the master key to all of the locks!"

"Ms. Cobb’s help with my interview skills truly made a difference in my receiving the Hollingsworth Scholarship at Furman University. The Hollingsworth Scholarship is one of the premier scholarships awarded by Furman and it is worth $25,000 a year towards tuition, $5,000 to study abroad and do research, plus an outdoor adventure trip and a leadership conference during the summer. She went out of her way to help me on short notice, and without her expertise I would not have done as well during my interviews. Her ability to convey her vast amount of knowledge in a limited amount of time is a true testament to her skills as an interview coach."

Virginia Lesslie




"Kathryn first helped me identify my strengths which immediately lifted my confidence. She then gave me the interview skills that enabled me to show others who I was and what I had to offer. She taught me to believe in myself and in my strengths. She also taught me interview techniques as we worked on mock interviews and interview essays over the phone, especially at the last minute. Now I'm currently working towards my master's degree at Vanderbilt University. I will be grateful forever to Kathryn."

“I cannot thank Kathryn Cobb enough for her tremendous help in helping me prepare for my HOSA interviews. Without her professional assistance I would not have gotten over many thousands of dollars for my education. Her expertise, talent and ability to connect with people is unparalleled. Love you always.”

"For part of our Business module, Kathy took the Youth Corps students through a 30 minute session of training for how to sell themselves. The students described her as energetic and enthusiastic. Kathy is one-of-a-kind who loves what she does and takes advantage of every opportunity to turn it into a teaching lesson. Once you meet Kathy Cobb, you won't forget her."

Jeff Becraft, Executive Director, Youth Corp


"I have sent many students to Ms. Cobb for interview training. The students she has worked with are all well prepared to handle difficult interviews and many have gained full scholarships to top-notch schools across the Southeast."

"As a guidance counselor, I am confident that our students are receiving excellent guidance in communication skills that will not only assist them in interview, but for the rest of their lives. I recommend anyone who is considering applying for scholarships or for interview training in general to visit her."

Adeline Lundy, Senior Guidance Counselor
Hammond School
Columbia, South Carolina



"Kathryn Cobb is a great motivator and speaking coach. Before receiving training, I was unable to speak in front of any group. Thanks to Ms. Cobb, my problem is a thing of the past. Her one-on-one sessions motivated me and the fear of public speaking went away. Ms. Cobb has changed my life! I was recently asked to speak in front of 2,000 people at my church. It was a very effective and powerful speech that was praised by all. Thanks to God and Ms. Cobb, I was able to give that speech. She has changed my life."

"I just wanted to thank you for all of the assistance you provided for me. I received a scholarship entitled the 1854 Scholarship. It covers $32,000 of the tuition at Wofford for four years. I am so grateful for this award, and I owe much of my success to you. Thank you for your time and dedication."

 Robert Williams

 "The interview coaching Kathryn Cobb provided helped me develop the self-confidence and the interpersonal skills I needed to be accepted into medical school. I would highly recommend the training she offers to anyone as I have found it to be an invaluable tool."

"I would not have gotten into medical school without your help in interview training that I received years ago."

"You put me where I am. Even though I have been in this country only a few years, I won South Carolina's FBLA speaking contest because you taught me how to deliver a speech and sell it to the judges. I am grateful to you and thank you so much. I send you lots of kisses and hugs. Miss Kathy is the the greatest teacher who taught me to speak and to express my feelings. You gave me my confidence."

Claudia Cervantes
South Carolina's FBLA, Speech Contest Winner



"With the skills Kathryn Cobb taught me years ago, I believe I have been able to effectively present and promote myself in a wide range of educational, vocational, and social arenas."
