Interview Skills & CV Preparation (Open Programme For Candidates)

CV's can be screened very quickly by employers, with perhaps each CV being reviewed for no more than 20 seconds. In that short space of time your CV has to make a strong impression in order to reach interview stage. We also look at Communication Skills, and the vital role they play in securing employment.

The programme will then examine the ways that you personally can maximise your chances of succeeding at interview, how to prepare adequately and how to present yourself. We will also look ath emore common styles of interviews, how they are structured and what you can expect. We will also examine 70 of the most common questions that are asked at interview, and how they are best answered.
