Job search - the interview

A survey of 2,000 UK workers has identifed that 23% of people are stuck in a job they dislike but only 1 in 6 are looking for a new job.

According to the research, by www.bemyinterviewer.co.uk it is the interview that puts people off.

Is it that people are basing their understansing of interviews on what people see on The Apprentice of Dragons Den? Most interviews are not like this, in fact, most interviews with larg ecompanies are competency based which is a very specific interviewing style where you need to give specific examples of what you have done so youcan’t waffle.

I’ve had a look at this site and thought some of the advice was sound - you can watch people like Jacquline Gold, Duncan Bannatyne and Ruth Badger ask questions and get some comments from them on how you should answer them. However I found the site frustratingly slow, and as someone who does a lot of interview coaching nothing beats someone providing you ith specific practice and personal feedback so if I can be of help please let me know.

Kindest regards

Denise Taylor
