We typically look for an application form or previous feedback from another interview, or a CV or cover letter and a job specification if available.
Absolutely not.
There is a common misconception that only people who can talk the talk are good at interviews. As an organisation that trains interview boards providing interview skills for hiring managers and has spent a lot of time on them, we understand that’s there are people who think they can cheat or charm the system.
A good interview board has techniques for identifying chancers, as they are often the last type of candidate an organisation wants.
In a nutshell, no.
However, many of our interview coaching clients don’t realise that this is something that everyone who goes for interview is entitled to under GDPR legislation and if you are interviewing with an organisation that falls under Freedom of Information legislation (FOI).
H-Training offers Interview Coaching and Career Coaching. Application preparation can be discussed as part of your interview-coaching support.
Yes absolutely, this comes up regularly.
We don’t want money to be an obstacle to you receiving our support.
