This complete series combines both our Resume and Job Application course and our Interview Skills Intensive and will run virtually in four x 2 hour sessions over two consecutive days.
The first day introduces essential knowledge in understanding the recruitment and selection process within the public sector and then focuses on developing a professional resume and writing high quality applications and supporting statements.
The second day dives deep into interview preparation and will give you the skills and advanced techniques to impress the panel and perform at your best.
