Prepare for Job interviews

Carr Communications is the recognised leader in Interview Preparation. This is one of the most important presentations you will ever make. People often recognize that they have done a disservice to their own potential by failing to prepare correctly. This session will ensure you give your best interview.

Highly structured and competency-based interviews are now becoming the norm and Carr Communications has driven the move from theory to practice, developing, testing and introducing such interview approaches in a wide range of public and private sector bodies.

More frequently presentations are being used as a method of selection as part of the recruitment process. We have an unrivalled track record in preparing candidates to present at interview. The emphasis is on preparation and developing confidence.

Assessment Centres are regarded as one of the most reliable forms of selection. They are often used by larger organisations as a part of the recruitment and development process where they are looking for evidence of a range of abilities and skills.

PREPARING YOUR CV

Introducing yourself to a potential employer or customer may require a CV, a great cover letter, a demo DVD or a website. Your CV and letter of application is the first impression you give to a potential employer. If selected, they can also set the agenda of the interview.

Organisations can learn a lot from conducting effective exit interviews with departing employees before they leave. Exit interviews provide an opportunity for the employee to provide feedback on why they are leaving, what they liked/disliked about their employment and what areas they feel need improvement.

People returning to the workforce after an absence of a significant period of time, either because of parental leave, compassionate leave, career breaks or overseas employment face specific challenges on their return to the workforce.

If you are a manager or an executive who needs to improve your interviewing skills, our Recruitment Interviewing skills programme will provide you with a practical grounding in best practice recruitment interviewing techniques.
