Who is this course for?
This workshop would benefit those who would like to get themselves into the best possible position for enhancing their career through either internal promotion or a new role inside or outside their current organisation. Based on the facilitator’s book “Get that Job in 7 Simple Steps” published by HarperCollins, delegates will understand their key motivational drivers and their standout strengths to increase the chances of getting a new role. The implications of understanding skills, strengths and motivations are discussed with their applicability to writing a CV and covering letter, answering those tricky interview questions and dealing with assessments.

Benefits of attending
Delegates will leave this session with an idea of their own personal motivational drivers and work-based strengths through a combination of discussion, theoretical input and the Strengthscope™ sorting cards exercise. Strategies for capitalising on them to aid efficiency and job satisfaction and how to prevent them going into overdrive will be identified.
Secondly, the applicability of the above to taking charge of an individual’s career will enable delegates to view the process as positively as possible. Delegates will leave the session with a clear idea of how to write a CV that packs a punch, deal with interviews and assessments and start their new role successfully – all delivered by an Occupational Psychologist who has interviewed and assessed candidates in many organisations.
Delegates will get a copy of the book, too!
