Job applicants strike interview gold in tough employment market

by Personnel Today 12 Nov 2008

Statistics from the Office for National Statistics show the UK is currently experiencing the toughest employment market in a decade.However, a new online interview skills system, Interviewgold.com, is letting jobseekers into a powerful secret.

Interviewgold.com is an interactive online system that can pinpoint with 80 per cent accuracy the types of questions that will be asked by potential employers.

Developed by a team of HR professionals from every possible job sector, Interviewgold.com covers 15 different industries, including medicine, teaching, banking and accountancy.

Nigel Durkan went to countless interviews before finally landing his dream job and he puts his success down to this new skills training system which is revolutionising the way candidates prepare for interviews.

“I was amazed. 11 out of the 13 questions they asked were in the first mock interview that it gave me,” says Durkan. “I was asked back for a second interview and got the job.”

“I hadn’t realised that I was doing and saying all the wrong things until I subscribed to Interviewgold.com,” says Durkan.

Interviewgold.com takes a unique approach to interview preparation combining a fast track interview skills course with video practice interviews and interactive mock interviews.
