Interview Success Workshop on 22nd May

Bristol JLD, Hays Legal and MBS Coaching are pleased to invite you to

Interview Success Workshop

An interactive workshop enabling you to reach your full potential in interviews.

On Tuesday 22^nd May 2012

From 6pm

There are countless books available that tell you how to prepare for an interview, the research to do, the answers to give, what to ask, and what not to ask. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. These resources rarely show you HOW to do these things.

This workshop is different.

You will leave with practical tools and techniques that you will be able to use immediately to:

Get into a confident, resourceful state
Communicate effectively with the interviewer (verbally and non-verbally)
Banish negativity
Be clear about your goal

Having these capabilities will enable you to do yourself justice in the interview, to perform at your absolute best and maximise your prospects of success.

The event will be held at Bond Pearce, nr Bristol Temple Meads (map) and refreshments are provided courtesy of Hays Legal.

The workshop is likely to finish between 8-8.30pm. Places are strictly limited.
Please RSVP to careers@bristoljld.co.uk to book your place.
