Description

As shown below this course has two major parts: Part 1 is about degree skills and Part 2 is about interview skills.Part 1While most courses for degree students focus on a subject, for example, Accounting, or Marketing or Digital Transformation, Part 1 of this course focuses on skills that teachers assume that students will have somehow 'picked up' in their journey through life. These are skills such as Writing, Presenting, Organising Teams, Conducting Research, Completing a Dissertation and Preparing for and Acting appropriately in a job interview. These skills are often assessed - for example presentations are assessed by professors and these assessments influence degree classifications - yet most students have received no guidance on the characteristics of what makes slides compelling or how to present persuasively. This course assumes that students often need help in these vital areas and provides expert tuition in how to excel in all of them. In short it is about transforming 'also ran’ students into outright winners.Part 2Many job applicants absolutely dread the thought of going for a job interview and before it cannot sleep and worry continuously about what the interview panel will ask them. Part 2 provides viewers with a standard approach - called The Interview Compass - which will help all job applicants for all types of job interviews to succeed. Just as the Navigator’s Compass with its four cardinal points, North, South, East and West (NSEW) helps travellers to navigate successfully to their desired destinations, The Interview Compass helps interviewees to navigate successful to their desired destination - the job they desire.
