Getting it right

by Maureen Mullen
I always struggle when confronted with an interview, staying put has always been the easiest option given a choice but having moved to different part of the country I found I needed to brush up on any interview skills I have, attending interviews and getting knocked back isn't really that encouraging. as I was still not confident in this area plus not getting any younger and the workforce these days looks even more full of young proficient people than it ever did, I decided to give Interview Ready a look after looking for tips on the internet.  To begin with, I believed that as I was older and had experience then that would see me through.  How wrong. I took this course, and must say it did switch quite a few light bulbs on with the way I have been approaching interviews, it's helped so much and can't recommend it enough. I beat the interview and am now a fully fledged employee in a brand new company, and loving every moment in this new chapter of my life.
