Job interview skills workshop format
Tailored to meet the needs of your team, this group outplacement workshop is ideal for five or more employees. During the workshop, Glide Outplacement’s trained facilitators cover the following interview skills:
Preparation and research
Participants learn the importance of thorough preparation, including how to conduct a personal SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) to effectively sell themselves.
The session also focuses on identifying key characteristics of the ideal candidate and uncovering information that will help participants stand out from other candidates.
Managing nerves
This section provides practical techniques to aid relaxation and reduce stress, such as positive visualisation exercises that build confidence.
Participants will also learn how to turn nervous energy into a positive force and how to cope with mental blanks during interviews.
Making a memorable impression
Participants receive guidance on how to use their voice effectively for clarity, employ body language to create a strong first impression, and leverage eye contact to build rapport with interviewers.
Interview practice
The workshop explores different types of interviews and scoring systems, highlights common traps and mistakes to avoid, and includes short individual interview simulations.
Participants engage in self-analysis of their interview performance, with a focus on identifying strengths and areas for improvement.
Question and answer development
The facilitators explain the difference between motivational and behavioural questions, offer strategies for tackling the ‘tell me about yourself’ question, and provide tips on developing effective responses.
Participants learn the STAR format for structuring answers, how to handle difficult questions, and how to create a personal Q&A bank.
Additionally, they are equipped with questions to ask interviewers, ensuring they are prepared for every aspect of the interview process.
