How important is it to find a coach from the same region?

I'm finding it really hard to find a suitable interview coach from my own region. Most of the ones I'm seeing are either overcharging for their services or not experienced enough to coach.

I've been finding really solid offers, from really talented and well reviewed coaches, including reasonable coaching packages but from coaches that are situated elsewhere. 

Is having a coach from the same region really all that important?

Hi! I am confident that all coaches on this platform excel in the expertise that they provide so you will benefit from any of their sessions. 

Having said that, besides the foundational prep and guidance, choosing a region-specific coach can sometimes help you better understand interview styles in the region, types of cases to expect, and how to best position yourself for success here because they have gone through the process themselves and potentially supported others too. I successfully recruited in the Middle East and am happy to support you with your needs - please feel free to reach out! I have over 150 hours of coaching experience.
