September 2011 – Employability Workshop

Graduate employability workshops at Bolton University

2engage were approached by Bolton University to deliver a series of workshops to graduates focusing on interview techniques. These 2 hour interactive sessions provided participants with an opportunity to discuss, debate and implement behavioural interviewing techniques. The workshop was a chance to overcome fears, develop confidence and to role play interviews in a safe environment. The sessions were a resounding success with candidates noting that the sessions built up their confidence and helped to motivate them for upcoming interviews and job opportunities.

Attending candidates are lead through a process that draws upon drama techniques. For many undertaking interviews it can be a nerve racking experience and drawing on theatrical techniques enables candidates to build confidence and self esteem and develop new skills like public speaking  in a supportive environment.
