Where can I get information on interview techniques and motivational skills?
From £40 the TES offers careers counselling and guidance on CV and application writing.
How can I use networking to enhance my career opportunities?
Networking involves positioning yourself so that you can meet a range of people both in person and online. You can enhance your career by expanding your network. As your network grows, the number of related career opportunities that are opened up to you might also grow.
Joining an online social network can bring you in touch with other teachers, trainers and sector leaders, as well as keeping you up-to-date with the latest news in further education and skills.
Events run by IfL and other organisations in the sector will provide opportunities for face-to-face networking with a range of likeminded people. Find a range of events here.
What is my ‘unique selling point’ and how do I develop this?
Your unique selling point (USP) - also known as your unique selling proposition - is what sets you as an individual apart from your competition. It can be an actual fact or a perceived difference or specialty.
Your USP may be expressed as a summary of what you do and how you do it better or differently than others. Read this article to read about using your USP in a job interview
