Programme objective
To coach, support, train and guide attendees back into new employment, through the development of their awareness, attitudes and self-promotion skills.
The workshop can either be run as an in-house programme (for just one company) or as a public programme (where different companies can elect to send smaller numbers to the workshop at the same time).
Focusing on personal brand, selling your skills, CV creation, LinkedIn profiles and interview preparation and techniques, the morning is delivered across the group.
We bring in good and bad examples of what to do and not to do in the “finding a job” process, including example CVs, and “bad” interviews, as well as identifying some example organisations that are currently recruiting.
The afternoon sees a number of consultants from our team supporting candidates on a 1-2-1 basis (like a recruitment “exhibition”) so the process of securing a new role starts immediately. The consultants have specific experience within a variety of sectors.
