Selling Yourself - Job Interview TrainingPrepare for Interview Success

Half-day in-house course or coaching sessions

Redundancy is tough and equipping people who are leaving the organisation, with the skills that maximise their chances of success in looking for new work, can make all the difference. This course focuses on moving beyond redundancy - providing you with skills to succeed in interviews. Invaluable advice for valued employees who need to develop their job interview skills quickly. Redundancy advice and training of this sort demonstrates real commitment by employers who care.

This fast-paced, full workshop includes the following:

First Impressions

You only have one chance to make a first impression, so being clear about how you are going to handle those first few moments, is crucial. The 'must dos' and additional tips and hints to set your interview off on the right track.

  • Presence
  • The handshake
  • Dress for success
  • Gravitas

Building Rapport Quickly

A reminder of how to make use of NLP principles to build on your initial positive impression and build rapport - matching, mirroring, pacing and leading.

Answering Questions with Confidence and Impact

You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you are not able to structure coherent answers, you are sunk! We will cover bridging and how to structure your answers in such a way that you will be confident and you will be remembered - for the right reasons! Four memorable and effective structures:

  • Cause and effect.
  • Your key words.
  • Five point 'you'.
  • Story telling in a sound byte.

Turning the Tables - Asking the Right Questions

You need to find out whether this job is right for you and you know that you will be judged by the quality of your questions as much as by the quality of your answers. Learn how to SHAPE* your own future with a structured questioning approach taken from the best-selling 'Smarter Selling' book.

Preparing for the Meeting

A systematic approach to preparing for an interview is essential if you are going to be successful. You need to decide which aspects of yourself and your experience you are going to stress, how you are going to stand out, what you need to know about them. You need to have a structured approach to researching the company - and the person you are meeting so that you are well informed as you can be.

Taking Control and Last Impressions

Last impressions are as important as first impressions. How are you going to finish the interview to ensure that you are right at the forefront of their mind when the interviewer reviews his or her notes and tries to recollect who was who and what were they like!
