Interviewing skills development sessions

HOW TO AVOID INTERVIEW MOUSETRAPS AND WIN A JOB?

Regardless of age, level of seniority and area of expertise, one feels unprepared for getting the most out of upcoming interviews.

As a result, the lack of self-confidence and anxious non-verbal communication can create a poor picture of you and your skills and competences.
During these interviewing skills development sessions you will be coached how to discover, define and package your professional skills, experience and knowledge in a way that is guaranteed to have appeal to every employer.

Furthermore, if you decide to attend these sessions, you will also get an assessment of your performance in English according to the following analytical criteria:

Grammar and Vocabulary, Discourse Management, Pronunciation and Interactive Communication.

Take into consideration that your ability to express yourself precisely and concisely in English is along with your interviewing skills a decisive factor whether you will land with the job or not.

At a job interview each question is asked to find out whether or not you are going to be an asset to a company.

Why should I hire you?
What are your outstanding qualities?
Why do you want to work here?
What is your greatest weakness?
Describe a difficult problem you have had to deal with.
Describe how your job relates to the overall goals of your department and company.
Jobs have pluses and minuses. What were some of the minuses on your last job?

Can you answer all these questions off the top of your head?

Can you do it in a way that will set you worth above that of the other job candidates?

If you have a doubt about it, then you are at the right address because these sessions are designed to enable you to handle these questions successfully.

The coaching process is divided into the following sessions:

The telephone interview In this e-age, interviewers use the telephone weed out applicants. Your goal is a face-to-face meeting, so learn how to achieve it.
Body language As the first few minutes after we meet the interviewer is a time when he or she is doing the majority of the talking, we have very little control over the impression we create with our words- we cannot say much of anything. It is up to our bodies to do the job for us. Learn how to use non-verbal signals appropriately.
How to handle tough interview questions During these sessions you will be coached not only to answer, but also how to answer. “Like being on trial for your life” is how many people regard a job interview. They are probably right. With the interviewer as a judge and jury, you are at least on trial for your livelihood. Therefore, you must lay the ground for a wining defense. During an interview, employers ask you a lot of questions that test your confidence, poise and desirable personality traits.
Increase empathy Knowing how an interviewer thinks is a critical element of the job search that is too frequently overlooked. It is a good idea to review the interview process from the employer`s perspective. During sessions you will learn about five secrets securing a job offer.
What kind of person are you really Mr................................? There are several questions the interviewer might use to probe this area. They
will mainly be focused on your behavior and attitudes in the past. Remember, it is universally believed that your past actions predict your future behavior. These questions will be analyzed during the sessions.
The interlocutors Two types of interviewers can spell disaster for the unprepared: the highly skilled and the unconscious incompetent. Find out how to recognize and
respond to each one.
The stress interview Frankly speaking, every interview is a stress interview if you are unprepared. The interviewer`s negative and trick questions can act as the catalyst for your own fear. The only way to combat this fear is to be prepared, to know what the interviewer is trying to do and anticipate the various directions he or she will talk.
The end of an interview The end of an interview will more likely mean relief, but here are some dos and don`ts to bear in mind as your meeting comes to a close. During the session we shall discuss what you should do and what is desirable to be avoided.
How to negotiate a salary and fringe benefits Before you sign a contract, you might want to hear about some tricks related to negotiation of the offer in terms of salary and fringe benefits.
In the end, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that all victories have their foundation in careful preparation and well-devised strategies (e.g the Trojan horse).
Dream jobs do not come to those who sit and wait.
At the interviews, you will maintain the interviewer`s interest and attention by carrying your half of the conversation.
What you ask will show your interest, demonstrate your analytical abilities and carry the conversation forward. Therefore, if we agree on this, the next step is to get down to work and make your dream job become reality soon.
Thank you for your trust!
