The Royal Wedding has finally taken place whilst the world’s media watched excitedly.
Clarence House had been grooming Catherine for her role as a Princess for a long time and her first major test on her wedding day proved that she has been a model student with the event going without a hitch. Media training would have been a vital part of this preparation to help her cope with public speaking as well as manage the nerves during such intense pressure on the day.
Media training would actually be a great tool for everybody, although you may not get a Prince with it. Maybe a promotion? Or a payrise? The same principles could be applied at job interviews to sell yourself to an interviewer as a confident, professional candidate and to help overcome your pre-interview nerves.
Have you ever wondered what a job interviewer sees; is your body language open and engaging? Are you answering interview questions articulately? Are you selling yourself in the best possible way? Well, now you can find out.
InterviewGOLD have added yet another new feature to their interview skills training programme that will help you turn yourself into a PR professional – a Webcam Recording Feature. Use the facility to record your interview and then watch and scrutinize yourself as if you are the interviewer himself. See exactly what they would see and learn some vital interview skills:
1. First, research and prepare your interview answers using InterviewGOLD’s catalogue of sample interview questions and answers.
2. Position yourself in front of your webcam and start the InterviewGOLD Webcam Feature to record you very own mock interview.
3. Play your mock interview back to review how you performed. Look for any fiddling, stuttering, lack of eye contact as well as other faux pas that InterviewGOLD lists.
4. Have another go. The great thing about using InterviewGOLD’s Webcam Feature is that you can practice until your delivery is perfect – unlike the one chance you get at the real thing.
5. Get someone else’s opinion. Email your mock interview to a friend or a colleague for their feedback. You can even email it to your recruitment agency for their valuable input.
Now you can tackle difficult questions head on and you should have the confidence to go into any interview room and present yourself like a winner. Little things like constantly shifting in your chair could have put the interviewer off but you should now be more self aware and be able to control these factors on the day.
Remember, this is just one of the many features of InterviewGOLD. It’s unique, tailored programme is aimed at teaching you the interview skills for your specific job interview. As well as the interactive system, interview coaches are on hand to help with any additional questions specific to your interview. Your mock interview recording could well be exactly the same scenario as the real thing.
