The Interview Skills Workshops are tailored to adult or student requirements. Participants will walk away with clear strategies to:
- Prepare for interviews
- Answer typical interview questions
- Use interview questions to sell themselves
- Tailor/personalise interviews
- Create a favourable impression
- Handle difficult questions
- Strengthen skills through mock interviews
Proposed workshop structure
All workshops are highly interactive and delivered in such a way that the participants will thoroughly enjoy themselves while learning and acquiring the vital interview skills needed for today’s workforce. Everyone will receive verbal feedback.
Each session will include/cover:
- In-depth preparation
- Questions and how to handle them
- Panel/interviewer rapport
- Appearance and body language
- Mock individual interviews
- Fundamentals of a strong interview
- How to create the right impression
- Voice control and expression
- How to stand out/tailoring interviews
- Panel interviews
By watching interviews taking place and viewing different responses, participants will have an opportunity to see which techniques work well and what impressions are being formed.
Because participants are actively involved, they will come away with a deeper insight into what is expected of them in an interview situation and what interviewers are looking for. This workshop is ideal for year 11 pupils and school-leavers, but is appreciated and enjoyed by all ages. Adults looking for work will find this workshop valuable both in information and as a necessary confidence-booster.
Participants are often surprised to discover what they are actually doing in interviews and what impression they are creating without even realising it!
