News & Updates

Responding to – Tell me about yourself?

During interview coaching I develop mock interviews for my clients. I aim to get as close as I can to the real interview by analysing the job advertisement, job description and the company. Then by identifying required skills and knowledge we can prepare responses and have relevant examples to demonstrate appropriate strengths.

Tips and tricks to improve your LinkedIn presence

More than ever, LinkedIn is an important tool in our job search and the ongoing development of our professional network. As the demand for skilled professionals increase, recruiters will spend more time on LinkedIn searching for qualified candidates. Investing time in a strong profile can have longer term benefits and increase your changes of new opportunities for engagement and employment.

Interviewing after the Pandemic

As a specialist – your key strength is your knowledge and expertise in your specific area. Your point of difference is that you know a lot about your thing. This can be an advantage when job searching.
