Case Study
An former colleague approached me asking if I could ‘tell’ why her applications were not resulting in many interviews and any job offers. I couldn’t readily tell her, as I had always found her an exemplary officer and I would employer her if I had a suitable vacancy.
By Listening to her, reading her application materials and conducting a mock interview, we were able to unpick a range of issues. At the end, she was no longer underselling herself, appreciated her transferable skills much better, using examples of her best work and leadership style without qualifiers. Best of all she began to let go of some issues of previous poor management and bullying she had experienced and turned them around into celebrating her resilience and dedication to getting the job done under trying circumstances.
