Interview Skills

55% of managers turn down candidates because of the way the jobseeker walked through the door.

This startling fact from a LinkedIn survey of 2000 managers emphasises the importance of first impressions, but - as a manager - how can you equip your team with the skills they need to influence this impression?

As part of our communication skills training programme, our tailored Interview Skills Training will provide your team with the interview techniques they need to present themselves with confidence.

WHY THIS COURSE?

Interviewers do not simply focus on candidates’ skills and experience, but also their ability to present their capabilities and leave a lasting impact.

Our interview skills workshop equips the individuals in your team with the skills they need to progress within your organisation.
