"It's tough out there so get ahead of the interview game....."

Now is the time to get ahead in the job market. With a fresh wave of redundancies and the milk rounds shrinking it is time to be more focussed and show people what you have to offer. So what do you have to do. One way of gaining confidence and learning new interview skills is to contact professional coaches.

"People with excellent work experience and bags of qualifications still struggle to meet their potential and aspire to their ambitions during an interview." Says Karen Kilgour a Director of Kilgour Wood Recruitment Ltd a recruitment company devoted to preparing and refining the skills of her candidates. "Too often candidates are lulled into a false sense of security when going to interview. The CV reads well but they can not deliver at the critical time."

"Interviews usually last only 45 minutes, sadly your interview could already be over in the first few minutes, if you fail to make a good impression. It could have been down to just body language which we will be able to help you with. It must be so demoralising coming out of the interview feeling that you have not done your very best." Said Sarah Jane Wood with 15 years experience in mentoring and finding people jobs. This is the new challenge for candidates and professional advice should be taken to get you through your interview. Not everyone has the confidence but they might have the ability. So many people who have come to us for mentoring and interview skills feel relieved that someone can help them. There are some easy obstacles that you can overcome quickly like wearing the appropriate clothes and being able to answer basic interview questions well. Success can be measured in many ways but ultimately it is about getting the person to feel more confident and be able to conduct themselves in a professional manner."

The advice available is not restricted to industry type or background. Karen goes on to say "We speak to all different levels of professional people as well as Graduates and the same skills need to be learnt, there is work out there in many different industries and so candidates should not be dispirited but more resolute to get the right job when it comes up."
