	Career Development- Interviewing Skills: Interviewing with Authority.   (Code MS2)

 A full day program that builds on the skills developed in MS1 (above). While completing MS1 is highly desirable, it is not essential for success in this workshop.

The optimum is to attend both workshops as close together as possible, to enable an integrated approach to both writing and interview preparation.

Participants learn how to present themselves to a selection panel so the panel can see the real person, their personal and professional qualities and the skills they bring to the new job. There are practical Do's and Don'ts, especially in using language that engages the panel rather than allowing it the opportunity of misunderstanding your communication style and marking you for elimination from the field. Far more preparation is required for a successful interview than for a successful written application.  Program dates allow adequate time for thorough preparation prior to interview, going a long way to building self confidence.
Cost $395.00 (incl. GST).  Pre-payment for workshop registration is required to ensure a place is secured.  Please refer to Refund Policy page for policy statement on refunds.
