Our ‘How to Excel at Competency Based Interviews’ training course provides Masters students, MBAs, Exec MBAs and Alumni with in-depth video training to prepare them for success at Competency Based Interviews.
The number one reason candidates do not perform to their best ability in interview situations is lack of proper preparation. Candidates called to interview often have the experience and the skills needed for a role, however without proper preparation many do not do themselves justice on the day.
Our Competency Based Interview Training, plus the accompanying Competencies Guide, is the secret weapon your students and alumni require to maximise their chances of success at this type of interview.
There are two versions of the training: one version specifically tailored for Masters students, and one version tailored for more experienced candidates (MBAs, Exec MBAs and Alumni).
