The class will explain homologation of qualifications, overcoming stereotype problems, relocation systems in major countries, choosing between fringe benefits or a higher salary and much more...

This customised interview course will help you to prepare for a variety of interview scenarios, methods and strategies, many of which may be a little complicated, some of which are specifically created to challenge your very sanity in the search for your ideal position, and all of which are designed to recruit the best person for the position with the correct skill set at the right price.

In our course we will cover the following:

* The purpose and strength of physcological screening in the context of interviewing candidates. 

* Your English level will be improved with the focus on interview vocabulary and impressive sentence construction.

* Intensive question / answer preparation in behavioural based questioning, competency based questioning and emotional intelligence questioning will be offered. Each question requires discussion on how to to elicit information from your interlocutor before even considering answering. 
e.g. 
Why was the question asked, what was the purpose?  
What is the interviewer trying to ascertain?
Is it simply a reaction question or is a solid answer required?

* Essential keyword use and how to bypass the filter system and get your 
CV seen by human eyes as soon as possible. Avoiding buzzwords, irritating CV presentation 
and more will be covered. The "rule of threes" will be explained and discussed in the 
context.

* This is not a one way presentation, it is an opportunity for the student to understand 
whether they are ready for an interview that could change their life and more than 
double their income while engaging in serious discussion about the opportunities.

General conversation (I only teach adult students)

This lesson is designed to inspire, encourage and practise oral presentations in English.

Many people experience worry, nerves and fear before giving an oral presentation. This lesson covers a multitude of subjects and gives a taste of just what is possible wih the correct attitude.

We will  start with the preparation which will include:

* Location - size, hotel/conference centre, seating, eating, team building rooms, heating/cooling etc..
* Materials, whiteboard, interactive audience participation
* Resources, finance, support staff, third tier staff, refreshments
* Assistants to collect data
* Advertising
* Costs, sponsors, vip guests 
* Purpose, call to action, monitoring, analysing, reporting. 

The presentation itself will include:

* Dress code, presenter and audience
* Body language, positioning and mimics
* Primary and secondary seating allocation
* Technological aids
* Timing
* Structure
* Intonation, gestures, rule of threes
* Introduction, content, finishing

The question and answer session will include:

* Opening the question and answer session
* Controlling the question and answer session
* Objection handling techniques
* Cherry picking the right individuals for questions
* Introducing and reacting with a ringer
* Offering promotional literature
* Capturing potential client's details afterwards

A good presentation should be structured, informative and have a pre-determined aim. The audience should feel engaged, individually important and leave better informed than when they arrived.

Most importantly, after the presentation the presenter and the supporting team (if applicable) should be able to identify clear successes that were desired beforehand or the failures, if any, that led to a less than perfect performance. Prepare in advance and you will reap myriad rewards.
 
If you need to give or polish up on your oral presentation skills then I can help. I look forward to demonstrating the power of the professional presentation.

Learn how to prepare and give presentations, learn how to inspire, motivate and persuade your audience. Learn how to deal with the question and answer sessions afterwards. Plan, react and succeed!
