Have a job in mind, but don’t know how to get there? Career coach Corinne Mills reveals how to stand out from the crowd and get the job you want

Impressing a prospective employer in a competitive job market is paramount. So how can you stop your application from ending up on the reject pile?

In this masterclass, career coach Corinne Mills will teach you how to write relevant and compelling CVs, LinkedIn profiles and job applications, to make sure you will be among the shortlisted candidates. It will also show you how to impress an interview panel and make it easy for them to hire you.

This workshop is ideal for anyone who wants to maximize their chances of job hunting success, whether you are relatively new to the job search or have been looking for a while.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Decode job adverts to present yourself as a suitable candidate

  • Choose the right tone to showcase your skills in a positive and authentic way

  • Devise a CV that will maximise your chances of being shortlisted

  • Use LinkedIn as an invaluable career marketing tool

  • Answer tricky questions to impress an interview panel

  • Avoid the self-sabotaging mistakes that affect over 90% of candidates

  • Overcome common career challenges, such as career gaps, limited experience, etc

This is one of two career workshops taking place on the same day. How to transform your career focuses on identifying your career goals and developing an action plan. You can book this event here or buy a ticket for the whole day.
