Class Experience

Welcome to this insightful and exciting class about the fundamentals for interview preparation. In life, we are bound to go have an interview for some quest. Whether it is for admission to an art school, university, internship e.t.c., we are all likely to face the challenge of going through an interview process and communicating our competencies. Therefore, the class will include, but not be limited to the following- 

Common competency based interview questions.
Situational based case studies.
Soft & Hard Skills.
Brainstorming and matching required skills to core competencies.
Types of interview formats i.e.face to face, video interviews, panel-based interviews e.t.c.
Verbal and non-verbal aspects to consider for bespoke interview formats. 
Using the STAR interview method to effectively answer questions.
Asking appropriate and meaningful questions of the interviewee.

The class will be very fluid and interactive. I will teach the technical concepts and theories based on the things above. Then we will jointly look to explore different situational case studies, do some role playing/dialogue. I will be offering constructive feedback at the end of the role play. This will be a very fun, engaging and enlightening experience and will offer the student great confidence and equip them with competencies. 

No prior knowledge is required.

Due to discussions about the importance of non-verbal communication and verbal interactions in the conversational classes, it is imperative to have your camera on. Please subscribe only if you are able and comfortable to interact with your camera on. Outschool policy doesn't require cameras to be on past the verification stage. However, as per this particular conversational class format, it is required to have your camera on for the full duration of class.

Moreover, as this is an ongoing class, I will aim to keep it rolling each week. However, please keep in mind that due to family obligations, the Covid-19 crisis etc, unfortunately, this may not always be possible and I may need to cancel sections. If a section is to be cancelled I will aim to do it in advance, preferably before the beginning of the respective week the class is scheduled to take place.

Please note:

•As there is significant preparation made before each session, there will be no refunds for unattended classes. Special consideration will be made in some circumstances if communicated before the session begins.
•Feel free to utilise the classroom recording, if you miss a session. If there is a single student booked in for the class, unfortunately, there will be no content to review.

Thanks and looking forward to meeting you
Learning Goals
Students will get a sense of confidence and technical competence. Through the engaging role playing and dialogue they will become accustomed with the 'STAR' technique and how to effectively execute it for powerful delivery. They will get an understanding of how to reference soft and hard skills while answering different questions. Moreover, as body language is a powerful form of communicating, they will get an understanding of some key properties of body language.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Science from University of Derby
Bachelor's Degree from Davenport University
I am extremely pleased to have qualified with a high honour Bachelor's degree in Business, before completing my Master's degree in Sport and Exercise science. During the programs I was able to successfully complete relevant modules, such as, 'Presentation Techniques', 'Practitioner Development', 'Diversity in Society' and 'Field experience in Business' etc. These modules gave me comprehensive oversight in presentation etiquette, debating techniques and powerful public speaking experience. I have also received a certificate for my performance in 'The Project' competition, hosted by the West Michigan Chapter of Project Management Institute for representing my university(Davenport University). The competition allowed my to present in front of a panellist of professional judges and opposition universities within Michigan. I have done a variety of speeches around the world, interacted with various institutional leaders, presented to senior directors in multinational companies, such as Wincanton and I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences. I also possess a TEFL certificate which has helped me attain the opportunity to work on a number of online platforms focused around building english conversational skills, interview preparation e.t.c. I am very appreciative and empathetic when it comes to interacting with different levels of students and adopt a bespoke communication style for the different personalities, in order to enhance their learning experience.
