How can you improve your performance?
Do you welcome the opportunity of being interviewed?

The Service
In the hour session, you will be interviewed for 30 minutes and then receive immediate feedback on your performance. This will be followed by a written report emailed/posted to you, to provide you with a record of the session. Depending on the location of the interview, it may be possible to film your performance and receive a DVD for later viewing.

You will receive feedback on:

	First impressions
	Body language
	Voice tone
	Question answering style
	Opening and closing statements
	Use of examples and illustrations
	Depth of technical knowledge

Additionally, you will receive a short handout on interviews.

Preparation
Both you and we will need to do some preparation beforehand. We will ask you to send your current CV, a job advertisement and an example covering letter to match the advert. This will allow us to prepare relevant questions for you and to ensure a meeting room is available.

On the day
Please wear what you feel is appropriate for the interview.

Timescales
Allow 1-1½ hours for the practice session (30-45 mins of questions and similar for feedback and discussion)
