That Job Interview
PARENTS : How long will your sons/daughters spend in the education system? It depends on whether they leave age 16 or go on the degree level. But the problem is the same. What does that hard earned exam certificate guarantee? An interview, which they wouldn't have been offered otherwise. And how many competitors will they face? Will it be 50, 100, all qualified to about the same level? A bit of a worry isn't it? What will make an employer chose your lad, your girl?
Let me share something with you. When they enter the interview room, they have about 30 seconds to make a good impression. If they are still liked 5 minutes into the interview, they're in the frame. If not they've already blown it. When everyone's as well qualified as they are, they must make an impact and they have to make it fast. They must be memorable. The good news is that it's not that hard. Why? Because most people are simply not memorable.
That is why my newly launched course is called SUCCESS:SPELT MEMORABLE. The course will give your lad, your girl the edge, the wow factor that employers are looking for.
- How do I know? Because I have spent several weeks asking employers.
These include household name companies: Barclays Bank, Land Rover/Jaguar. They include some of the top companies in Gloucestershire like Cotteswold Dairies, Hazlewoods (Finance specialists) The Corin Group (specialists in the manufacture of orthopaedic prostheses) Stroud and Swindon Building Society. They include recruitment agencies both traditional and on line, they include solicitors specialising in employment law, they include small one man band businesses.
Modules covering how to be an impressive communicator, people skills that you can use in one:one as well as team situations; skills they can learn quickly and put into practice quickly. They will learn techniques for presenting to a panel. They will learn, not just how to impress by way of communication, but also how avoid "bombing."
- How do I teach? By sharing the people skills I used for 34 years in the highly competitive world of commercial selling., working for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies (visit my personal page to view my C.V.). There will be no fancy gimmics, only techniques that work in the real world. The form of coaching I use is most effective in groups of 5 to 20 but my courses are adaptable.
- Do I issue certificates? Yes. It will list the modules covered and the companies who acted as my advisors are acknowledged on the reverse.Include the modules on a C.V..
- What will it cost? Each module costs about the same as a driving lesson of similar length (2 to 3 hours) or the amount that might be spent in an evening in a night club.
Give me a ring or, better still, approach the school or college that your son or daughter attends and ask them set up a free presentation event for parents.
