- Are you helping people get jobs and coaching them in handling job interview questions?
- Are you always seeking to offer a higher level of service?
- Do you want to eliminate some of the initial problems with live role playing?

If your answers are yes, then you will want to consider this new and easy to use progamme.

What is it?

"Tell me...." is a job interview role play designed to be run from a laptop, or PC, ideally, with a data projector.

It is aimed to increase the learning speed of people wanting to improve their interview skills and to therefore increase their chances of employment.

We also believe it will offer a more competitive edge to the more forward looking consultancies and organisation who use it.

It is therefore suitable for helping anyone who is looking for:
- Their first job. e.g. graduates, school leavers
- Another job - currently employed or redundant

Typical users, who want to increase the level of job seeker assistance, will be outplacment consultancies, career advice organisations, universities, colleges and schools.

Note: we have also developed a separate version of this just for School Leavers (128 questions)

It allows the tutor to instantly select from a range of questions, having asked a group member to respond immediately the question ends. Coaching can then be given and the question repeated to build up their skill level. Because therer is a third part present (the video interviewer), there are no issues with the Tutor having to role play the questions, or him or her, having to set up role plays with other group members. This therefore brings a level of relaism into this aspect of job seeking.

It also aims to eliminate all the pitfalls of live role plays, which need very experienced trainers and role players to work effectively. Live role plays are also time consuming to set up.

It should be stressed that while a good CV will get an interview, it will not normally get anyone a job. Hence the importance of sound preparation for this vital interview in a realistic way.

We produced our first dual screen video role play in 1995 and therefore have unique experience in developing this approach to training.

How does it work?

The full script runs on the laptop screen for quick question selection and the video appears on the projector screen. A small preview screen is available to view the questions on a single screen before using the programme with a group.

In addition, for older laptops, it is possible to use a "cleaned up" single screen video which uses a simple number based selection bar.

Above - Dual screen showing main features. A small preview screen is also available for familiarisation,
if a projector is not connected.

Below - Video screen on data projector can also show a participant's name, or group names can be randomly selected from a list.

For 1:1 coaching, or for using with older laptops that can only be used in "mirror" mode, a single screen option is also available, as shown below.

Features:
1. Screen exit button
2. Volume controls
3. Scrolling list of question numbers - can be referenced from printed list.
Instant repeat is also available using key presses.
