We describe a scientist-practitioner collaboration around a structured employment interview coaching program. This description includes information on how the program was developed and applied, the program content, connections with past literature, and a description of context. We also provide rich anecdotal information and surveys on reactions by users as well as input from the community and various other constituencies. We also describe scientific research on this intervention that has examined its various effects. The specific project goals were to (a) provide assistance to promotion candidates in preparing for a structured panel interview and to survey employee reactions to the program, (b) determine whether the intervention had an effect on interview performance and what preparation and response strategies in a structured interview seemed to be associated with performance, and (c) provide these benefits without negatively influencing validity and reliability of interview procedures, and if possible, enhance these psychometric characteristics. The information provided here can assist those who want to apply this type of intervention successfully in other selection settings.This report describes the development, administration, and applied research relevant to a structured oral interview coaching program used to prepare public safety promotional testing candidates in the city of Atlanta. The original intent of the program was to address some of the issues raised by the candidates who had participated in previously administered structured oral interviews. For example, candidates did not know how to prepare for the interviews and did not know how their performance in the interview was being evaluated. In the process of developing the coaching program, a review of the literature showed that very little research had been conducted on coaching candidates for interview
