Applying & Presenting for the Job Interview

This highly interactive half day workshop will take your staff right from preparing their application, through to presenting positively at the interview. It is full of ideas that will help them better understand the requirements of the selection process.

How many times have you seen capable staff in your organisation apply for positions that they are potentially well-equipped for, and yet they either fail to document clearly their experience as it relates to the selection criteria, or they fail to present themselves confidently at the selection interview?

It is a myth that the best person will always win the job! Too often, the best person does not win the job simply because they do not present what they have to offer in a way that is compatible with the rigor of the selection process. Some of your staff may need to learn that it is not enough to possess the right skills, qualities and experience for a job – they must also be able to convince others that this is indeed the case.

It is a test of a person’s skills and endurance to be able to navigate their way through the selection process. Course content for your staff can include ....

• Firstly, is it really the right job for you – will it meet your values
• Understanding the use of selection criteria as the framework for the selection process
• Preparing your application – addressing the selection criteria
• Researching the job – how to give yourself an edge
• Job interview preparation – anticipating likely questions, collecting and presenting your evidence
• Presenting achievements –where you’ve made a difference
• Managing your nerves in the job interview
• How to answer interview questions
• Keeping your referees “in the loop”
• Learning from the process – seeking feedback
