    New to Interviewing - A Practical Guide

    New to interviewing candidates? This practical guide walks you through the process from preparation to making your final assessment. We cover how to help candidates feel comfortable, ask effective questions, listen well, explain the role honestly, manage the conversation and avoid choosing someone for the wrong reasons. A good interview is a two-way conversation that gives both parties the information they need to decide whether they can work well together. Good luck with your next interview. Preparation and a genuine conversation will take you a long way.

    What Are Your Strengths

    Episode Description What are your biggest strengths? Most people can answer that question, but often the best strengths are the ones we've become so used to that we barely notice them. In this episode, I share some simple ways to identify your strengths, including looking at what people come to you for, the feedback you've received throughout your career, and the work you genuinely enjoy doing. Whether you're preparing for an interview, aiming for a promotion, considering a career move, or simply wanting to better understand where you add value, this episode will help you recognise and build on the strengths you already have.
