by Berleena

“The material covered was extremly relevant and helpful. The training was very helpful and insightful as was the teacher. I really enjoyed the entire 3 days”

“I very much enjoyed the class. Given my role is not principally sales focussed, some of the material is not directly related, but generally all good stuff”

“While the subject matter was broad enough to encompass a veriety of industries, I still found it easy to apply key parts to my job and I look forward to applying it them. I liked the open discussions and workshop enviroment thyat was created”

“Great change to discuss ideas and concepts in an open forum. Content was extremely helpful and it gave us a good understanding of how we could apply it in the workplace. It was a fantastic 3 days, great content and enviroment to discuss our thoughts and ideas felt comfortable to discuss our ideas”

“Relevance was good, and applicable to my role. Very thorough and well guided. Excellent program, a good way to relate to people in similar situtations”

“Found all the material interesting and relevant to my role. Kingsley is a great trainer – very an informative and interesting person”

“Even though i have been in the role longer than I should have for this course, it has given me great insight for improvement”

Interview Feedback

by Berleena

Part of my role as a Graduate Development Manager is to arrange candidate interviews with our client partners. I love my job and it’s just so satisfying when I get to place a candidate into the role of their dreams!

One thing to keep in mind when you are going out to interviews with ProGrad (or any recruitment company), is that you should always call your Account Manager as soon as you walk out of an interview! It’s really important to provide them with honest feedback straight away while it is still fresh in your mind. If you love the company and the role, then you must tell us. If we are aware that you really want the job then we will do everything we can on the client side, to get you locked in for a second interview, or even better, get you an offer on the table!  In saying that, if the interview went horribly and you didn’t like the opportunity at all, then you need to tell us so we know more about what you are looking for, and know not to put you out to similar opportunities like that in the future.

The key is to call us as soon as you get out of the interview and to remember that honesty is the best policy!

Please feel free to contact me in the ProGrad offices if you wish to discuss this further.
