Rationale of the Course	When preparing for interview staff often spend most of their time focusing on the job/task element that is to be addressed during the interview process. They often give little or no attention to the preparation of “how they will come across” at interview and no consideration toward the details that make up a holistic presentation of themselves. In a highly competitive job market candidates for interview need to be as fully prepared as possible and made aware of what the “presentation of self” means in this context. This course is designed to enable participants to prepare, rehearse and present themselves to the best of their ability at interview, whether this is, for example: ·         for the first time ·         returning to work after a gap ·         an internal promotion or move within the company ·         an external promotion ·         an interview abroad Attention and focus will be given to the specific needs and individual context of participants.
