Interview & Other Skills
for Job Applicants in Singapore and Hong Kong
Many job applicants have the knowledge, skills, attitude, experience and competencies to undertake a job that is on offer. However, they are not gifted in the art of demonstrating this to selection panels. This one-day event assists job applicants of any age and experience in preparing for the selection process and ensuring that they convey their skills to the panel.
The course is suitable for anybody who is interested is getting the job that they want and are qualified for! Employed persons considering a new job, unemployed persons and those completing school/university and soon to be attending job interviews etc. are all welcome on the course. Participants must be able to understand spoken and written English and be able to converse in English.
Before the course, registered attendees will be invited to complete an online psychometric assessment. Many local and international companies now request their job applicants to complete an online ability or personality assessment. Doing this before the PsyAsia course will provide attendees with this crucial experience. Attendees are also asked to bring their current CV with them and one or two recent job advertisements that they have seen in newspapers or on the internet and would be interested in applying for.
The Course Day
Learn about techniques and processes that employers use in candidate selection:
Interview
CV
References
Psychometric Tests
Assessment Centres
Biographical Data
Attendees will learn about what each of the above is, how it is used in selection and how they can prepare for them. Attendees will be provided with opportunities to be involved in and practice their preparation and responses for each of the above in relation to the job advert that they selected prior to the course. There will be an opportunity to complete a paper-based psychometric assessment in addition to the internet-based one that was completed before the course. The course is facilitated by an experienced organizational psychologist who assists organizations in employee selection using the above tools on a daily basis - who better to relay this information and put the job candidate at ease?!
Take Home
All attendees will take
home guidelines for success in aspects
of the selection process. Additionally,
they will receive a certificate of attendance
and their full psychometric assessment
reports.
Aims, Objectives and Intent
Some people think that employers and those who assist them in the recruitment and selection process use a system of some description that can be "beaten". For example, some believe that personality assessments can be answered in such a way that they are more likely to get the job. They are obviously not aware of the scales built into the questionnaires which detect styles of response such as this! We do not want to help you to get a job that you are not qualified for or do not have the aspiration for - you ultimately will not be happy and your new employer certainly will not! For this course, we ask you to consider only jobs that you are qualified to do and have an interest in. We make the assumption that you have all of the skills necessary and now need to convince your potential employer of this fact. Many candidates simply do not come across well at interview due to nerves or lack of selection experience. By taking attendees through the tools that employers use in selection, not only will you begin to have your mind put to rest when you go through this process for real, you will also be more able to show the selection panel your "real-self", skills and aptitude.
