Job Interview Skills Workshop

Essential Interview Skills

Excellent communication and presentation skills are very often cited as key differentiators when it comes to choosing the right person for the job.

But of course, there are other things that you need to get across in an interview situation - like how well you are suited for the job, your technical competencies, your ability to grow in the job and how well you're going to fit in with the rest of the team.

Ultimately however, it will be how well you express yourself in the interview and how well you answer the relevant questions that will decide the outcome.

And this is where Skillstudio can help you.

Our one-day public workshop is held in London on a monthly basis.

By attending this course you'll ensure that you have the best chance possible of getting the best job that you are technically qualified to perform.

• Discover how to use your voice to convey a confident & engaging style
