Tina Kinirons - Interview Coach

I took some time off in August and enjoyed breaks in Cork, Newcastle (Co. Down) and Denmark.

This week has been a full return to work with interview preparation coaching and application reviews (especially forms for the new Open HEO competition).

My colleague Bernie has availability from mid September and I have availability later in the month. Everything else is already booked.

I’ll be back to regular posting here next week. I’ll be continuing the capability based interview tips and I have a backlog of recent interview successes to share from both my clients and Bernie’s.

If there is an interview angle you would like covered in future tips, please let me know.

This week’s job success comes from a client who interviewed with a public sector organisation for a management role (at Assistant Principal level) and was offered the job!
