Are you ready for that interview?

Leave a reply

Preparing for interview can be daunting.  Tomorrow evening’s workshop is an opportunity to learn a simple structure that will increase your clarity and confidence as you prepare for interview.  Bring along your CV and, if possible, a job description.

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves.  Check out this great talk on getting your body language right so that you can ‘fake it ’til you become it’.  http://bit.ly/VjrPRu

Are you ready for that Interview? Evening Workshop

Leave a reply

Did you know that employers only want to know 3 things?

  • Can you do the job?
  • Will you do the job?
  • Will you fit in?

To be successful at interview, you must be able to tell the interviewer a story – the story of your Achievements.  And, this story must relate to the job description.

By the end of this evening workshop you will:

  • Learn a structure to prepare for interview
  • Be able to tell the story of your Achievements
  • Answer interview questions from the employer’s perspective
  • Have increased clarity and confidence

This is the final workshop in this series of Career Workshops.  Please pass it on.

Workshop Details: Tuesday 4th June 7pm – 9.30pm in The Lantern Centre on 17 Synge St, Dublin 8. (Park in the school yard, room is in basement beside Lantern on Synge St itself). Cost €15. There will be a break with a cup of tea to share the experience with like-minded people.

A very enjoyable evening at Skills workshop

Leave a reply

There was a great buzz at the Do You Know Your Skills? Workshop last night as people brainstormed each other’s potential careers based on the skills that they love using.

There was also lots and lots of chatting over tea afterwards which is a good sign and it brought a smile to my face :).

Next evening workshops in series of 4:

7 May – Does Your CV need a Makeover?
4 June – Are you ready for the Interview?

Your Career – Do You Know Your Skills?

Chrysalis: ‘Inspiration, Learning, Connection’.  What a wonderful environment to explore this really important part of our lives.  Our careers.

This practical 1-day Career Planning Workshop creates a space to look at what you want from your work-life and then to reflect on how to get it.  By the end of the day you will have developed your own personal Career Action Plan to help you move forward in your career.

Why not take a day out of your busy life to focus on You and Your Career?  Saturday, 13th April from 10 am to 5 pm in Greystones, beside the sea and opposite the Happy Pear.  I’m looking forward to it.

Please pass it on 🙂

Do You Know What You Really Want?

Leave a reply

For those of you job searching or considering a change of career, why not pause for a moment before starting on the journey of planning, preparing and pursuing. Why not take a moment to reflect on what you really want from your work life?

This evening is about tapping into your own inner resources to visualise and experience what you really want. To create a career mind movie, to sit in that dream for a while, to pretend you have it already. What would it feel like to have that new job? What is the experience?

You will then create your own Career Vision Board, sometimes called a Career Dream Board, filled with pictures, affirmations and text that represent the experience that you want in your new job or career. To manifest your vision, you can take your Career Vision Board home with you, hang it somewhere that you will see it every day and then enjoy the journey!  Here’s an interesting video on How to Make a Vision Board.

Workshop Details:  Tuesday 12th March, 7pm – 9.30pm in The Lantern Centre on17 Synge St, Dublin 8. Cost €15. There will be a cup of tea afterwards to share the experience with like-minded people.

I hope to see you there – please pass on to friends who may be interested. Thanks. Mary

Chrysalis has a special place in all our hearts, including mine.  I’m absolutely delighted that they have included my 1-day Career Planning Workshop in their Spring Programme on Saturday, 13th April from 10 am to 5 pm.

This is my first time presenting in their new venue in Greystones so I’m looking forward to spending a day near the sea and to popping over to the Happy Pear for lunch!  Why don’t you take a look at their website for more information about this programme or to check out their other really interesting workshops.
