CV-writing Interviews Presentations
"Nothing is as strong as gentleness. Nothing is as gentle as true strength"
(Ralp Sockman)
Where do your true strengths lie? Are they clear in your job application?
Get That Job
Together we work through the whole process to identify your skills, talents and motivations and help you gain the edge over other candidates.
Coaching can help you make those all-important decisions about course and career and enhance your prospects of successful application for a university place, new job or promotion.
During your coaching sessions, you can identify your professional goals, develop & fine-tune your CV, prepare for interview and practice answering questions, deliver a presentation, if required, and receive constructive feedback.
Overall coaching can enable you to:
- submit impressive written applications (CVs)
- shine at interviews and
- impress with your presentations
Through Life Coaching you may identify how to create opportunities for yourself instead of only responding to what is on offer. In the words of the Chinese proverb:
The weak wait for opportunity - The strong seize opportunity
The wise create their own opportunity
Better to create opportunity rather than only waiting or reacting.
Can you write a winning CV?
You need a great CV to get your foot in the door for the first stage interview. So you’ve written your CV and it’s ready to go…or is it? To see how impressive it is, try putting yourself in the shoes of the person recruiting you. Imagine you have a mountain of CVs to go through. What will attract you, & make you put your CV in the YES pile? What will put you off, & make you put it in the NO pile? During our sessions, you will gain an insight into what recruiters are looking for and match your talents honestly to their needs.
Do you shine at interviews?
You will need to demonstrate all that you claim in your CV, your experience and your competencies. You will want to be ready to provide evidence of what you've achieved & the skills that you have. Is it clear you've done your research on the organisation? Do you have a clear picture of what the post entails? Does your enthusiasm for the organisation and motivation for the role shine through? What do you offer that makes you stand out?
Do you design & deliver great presentations?
Can you hook in your listeners from the very first moment? Are you logical and succinct? Is it packed with interesting, relevant information without overloading your listeners? Are you clear about your aims and objectives? How will you know you've achieved them?
Coaching makes a difference. whether you are:
- A student starting out
- Midway in your career
- Feeling you don’t do justice to yourself at interview
- Stuck and wanting a change, or
- A high achiever thinking of the next step who wants a non-judgemental listener to talk through the challenges of being at the top
What clients say
Recruitment consultancy
“I have recommended several of my clients to Lucy Seifert for one-to-one coaching. They are candidates seeking high level posts in the voluntary and public sectors. Lucy challenged them to identify and confront what held them back. She helped them do justice to their talents in writing and at interview. All these clients went on to successfully apply for new posts in their chosen fields.”
ProspectUs - Myra Farnworth, Executive Recruitment Team Leader
Successful applicant
"Lucy helped me give my CV a complete overhaul, from the vital structure to essential details which, I have no doubt, played a huge part in getting me through a vast number of companies' application stages and beyond. We also went through potential interview questions and wrote mock answers, I found it very helpful to actually practice the interview with Lucy, as it allowed me to assess the interviewer's possible reactions to my answers & to how I came across, providing me with a much needed confidence boost for the real thing"
