Interview preparation is key these days
The job market for English teaching is at an all-time high. All our graduates land jobs around the world. Certain areas in the world are extremely popular due to their high compensation rates and benefits. And here is where you actually have competition. In order to land a job at such high-profile institutions, you have to have interview and career-planning skills. Here is where our career coaching can help.
1. Learn how your background is viewed by others.
Self-awareness is critical to securing a great position. You need to learn how to view your experience, writing and presentations from different perspectives of experienced professionals, directors and recruiters.
2. Refresh your interviewing skills.
Most people haven’t needed an interview for quite a while by the time they apply for teaching positions. Recruiters have invented a crafty series of techniques in recent years to tease information out of you. Career coaching can help you navigate those tricks.
3. Be clear about your objectives.
Too many job applicants wander into interivews with only one goal in mind: getting the job. You cannot just fit the position; you have to be the best fit. Career coaching will help you understand the arena and will offer the savviest ways to express your ambition to your potential employer.
4. Make a good first impression.
Recruiters are trained to assign significant weight to first impressions. Gauging intellect, socioeconomic status, ambition and experience are just a few of the checkboxes they might have. A coach-guided mastery of good first impressions could make or break a career.
