How to prepare and lead
international job interviews

Idea and goal of this training

The applicant interview continuously poses high demands, even for experienced interviewers. The analysis of the personality structure, with all strengths and weaknesses, must be comprehensive and as error-free as possible if one wants to avoid the often frustrating and costly mistakes in decision-making. This is where the training comes in. Participants will learn everything about the preparation, execution, and evaluation of a job interview. They will practice professional and innovative conversation and questioning techniques, which have proven highly effective when selecting candidates from various target groups. At the same time, they will enhance their personal skills in perception and efficient conversation management. They will become more confident in dealing with challenging situations during the interview and improve their decision-making ability when selecting the most suitable candidate.
