Interview Skills
Your defining moment
Everyone knows that first impressions really count. But the reality is that once you’re in the hot seat, it’s what you say - and how you say it – that will get you over the line. Communication skills are a key differentiator in the selection process. After all, would any employer deliberately choose a poor communicator if they had several candidates of equal technical ability to choose from?
The Interview Skills workshop will help you stand out from other job applicants and substantially improve your chance of being selected. We'll show you what's working well for you when you're being interviewed and - most importantly - provide personal coaching to address what's not. Whether it’s overcoming anxiety, presenting appropriate body language or vocal tone ... or a tendency to ramble!
By preparing well and being confident in your communication skills, you’ll go into the room in far greater control, present a positive impression and have the composure and poise to steer the conversation in the direction you want.

Workshop Details
This workshop is highly recommended for anyone attending a critical interview – for example, to gain acceptance to a school or university, your first job, or an important career milestone. It is therefore best run as individual 1-on-1 coaching for a specific real-life situation, but the general principles can also be presented to larger groups.
