PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Right or wrong, it’s generally the person who gives the best interview that ‘wins’...and there is rarely a prize for second place!  Put differently, effective interviewing is crucial to winning the right job.  Industry research clearly indicates that your skills in the interview process play the primary role in successfully getting jobs.  Getting that job comes down to not so much the resume or even technical ability, but rather the interviewee’s projected personality and interview skills. 
 
This program is designed to arm participants with tips, techniques and knowledge to present themselves at interview with greater confidence and impact.  All facets of the interview process are covered, from researching the company, personal grooming, actual interview and communication skills, how to control nerves, preparation, and the follow-up letter.   Find out how to tackle interviews with a greater degree of confidence and effectiveness.  This program provides you with a critical skill set to complement years of education and/or experience that you have worked so hard to achieve. 

Topics covered include:

 Just what is an interview?
 Nerves – a good thing (!)...and six techniques to harness them
 First Impressions…they do count indeed
 Remember the receptionist!
 Key interview body language tips
 Practice & preparation: how to look (and smell) great!
 Researching the organisation
 Preparing for interview questions
 Timing for the interview: don’t be 10 minutes early...
 Closing the interview
 The Follow-up Letter
 Practice sessions, ‘real’ interviews and question preparation.
