S5:Ep3 Common job interview mistakes to avoid

S5:Ep3 Common job interview mistakes to avoid

As a careers professional I conduct several practice interviews a week. I've received many a testimonial about how my honest feedback gives clients the push they need to go on to secure the role.

In today's episode, I'll be sharing with you the 6 common mistakes people make in job interviews and how you can avoid making them yourself. These are:

1. A lack of research on the company

2. Not articulating a real reason for wanting the role beyond money or reputation of the organisation

3. Focusing purely on what they can get from the organisation rather than what they can do for them

4. Not having examples ready for all skills mentioned in the job description

5. Unstructured responses 

6. Not having a sensible question to ask at the end of the interview

S4: Ep17 Successfully managing being out of work with Helen Debrah-Ampofo

This is a special episode because I'm interviewing my younger sister!!! People say we sound the same but I'll leave that for you to decided. Helen speaks very honestly about how she managed unexpectedly being out of work. To make matters worse, she was in a foreign country and had a lot of time to fill. She shares how she not only coped but went on to get an awesome job and developed side hustles.  In this episode we learn what to do when you're out of work, how to use your time productively and how you can positively transform during a time that appears to be very negative.  Find Helen here: IG: https://www.instagram.com/hdebrahampofo/  & https://www.instagram.com/afrohairuae/ Website: https://helendebrahampofo.com/ Podcast hosted by Career Change Coach, Crystal Debrah-Ekolie from voraicoach.com Instagram: @voraicoach
