Application form workshops and talks
Application forms are more difficult than many people think. They can look deceptively easy with their little boxes to fill in. They offer a false sense of satisfaction that they have been completed when all boxes contain content.
But, are your application forms reliably getting you interviews? If you wrote 5 today, how many interviews would you expect? If you answered ‘no’ or ‘less than 3’ to the above questions then I can share an approach that transforms your results.
Application form masterclass
This is a complete and comprehensive workshop session on how to succeed in job applications. In my application form masterclass, I share:
- The one key question that you should focus on. It is present on most application forms.
- How to write your work history when they only give a tiny space.
- Which questions you can leave blank and which ones you absolutely should not.
- How to use your CV for ideas, if you already have one.
- How to know the level of detail to give.
- How to choose the right examples to write about.
- How to always meet the word count without missing out important details.
Application form workshops
My application form workshops address a key problem in the recruitment market: People are being judged on a document that no one is trained to write.
Many people who are perfect for a role are not even getting interviewed because of the mismatch between expectations and the ability to write an application form.
So, my application form masterclass (above) addresses this in detail. My other workshops can be tailored to any other aspects of job application forms on which your participants would like to focus.
This could be:
- How to answer multiple competency-based questions.
- Should I use the STAR approach? Is there a better structure? (There is).
Application form skills training
I will develop skills including:
- An overall mindset – what is a job application about?
- An approach to always know what the employer wants to see.
- How to match yourself to a Person Specification.
- How to select the right examples and the right level of detail.
- How to communicate your value.
- How to edit to meet the word count. Done well, your first draft will always exceed this.
Application form lectures and talks
I speak from a track record of being a recruiter, a business manager with my own team, and a current employer in my own business. This is combined with 12 years of writing job applications internationally, at all levels, for every job you can probably imagine.
So, I speak with up-to-date knowledge of how recruitment is done today. Also, as a level-7 qualified professional marketer, I know how to communicate strategically and compellingly.
