Mary Hope's talks

Top strategies for big game hunters in the job search jungle

The world of recruitment is a fast moving place and whilst you can still find signs hung outside shops saying ‘staff wanted’, it is more common for job seekers to have to employ a range of strategies and tools to find the sort of role they are looking for. In this fiercely competitive market waiting for a job to come to you can be a very long wait. Mary will take you through the ways jobs are marketed and explain the work you need to do to find your next move.

Confident candidates leave less to chance
(strategies for building confidence in nervous candidates)

When so much rests on a single encounter, interviews can make the most confident person a little nervous, Mary will explore both practical and emotional ways to prepare for your big meeting and help you enter the arena ‘match fit’ and well prepared.

‘In it to win it’.. serving aces in interviews everytime

Interviews , or meetings with a purpose of securing employment, have their own sets of rules and not even interviewers really understand what makes a difference between a good and an average candidate. Mary will explain the rules and share with you the key factors of winning performance in interviews and explain how to avoid common pitfalls….. like ‘think switzerland’

Cracking the code; how to perform well in psychometrics

There is a mystique about assessment centres, not everyone understands what they are there to assess or how to behave. Some people have real phobia about some of the exercises. Mary will explain the what, where and why of assessment centres as well as giving some top tips for improving your performance. This is information teat publishers don’t want you to know and understand.

Mary Hope has recently compiled the most important lessons from her years of experience in a new booklet: "Get paid more, promoted faster and feel more satisfied – 15 top career strategies for life". Mary typically only offers these strategies for rapid career growth to her paying clients, but she has now made them available for free in this booklet, so anyone serious about their career can benefit from them.
