GET THAT JOB - Prepare for Job Interview
None of us know what is around the corner jobwise in these times of cuts. Some of
us who were enjoying what we thought was a stable job now find ourselves at risk
of losing it. So when was the last time you or some of your staff had a formal interview
for a job?
5 years? 10 years? Longer?
Being interviewed after such a long time can be very traumatic especially when interviews have become a lot more searching and intense than they used to be all those years ago. In parallel with the interview process there is also the competition that with potentially more people on the job market becomes yet another hurdle for job seekers to jump.
But how can we prepare for being interviewed?
We need to know what the latest techniques are so we can prepare our interview strategy. Get that Job helps us do just this!
From a manager’s point of view, just when everything is going well, you find you’re going to lose your best staff. Redundancy is traumatic for everyone – those who must leave, those who ‘survive’ and the managers who have to hold everything together. The professional response is to ensure that employees whose jobs are redundant get the best help available when searching for new work.
Get That Job! is a practical learning experience, produced in association with the counselling and advice service, CEPEC Consulting, and has been designed to support people through this difficult time. The program will teach your outgoing employees how to identify their key skills and match them to a suitable job. It will enable them to develop their potential and move forward with added confidence.
How this course will benefit your organisation
Many employers make outplacement and job search counselling available, and, as well as being a common courtesy which you should be extending to staff, who may have been hard-working and loyal to you over many years, there are sound business reasons why you should offer such services. Making Get That Job available to your outgoing employees sends a clear message to them, to those who remain, to the local community and to your business sector, that your organisation takes corporate social responsibility seriously.
