At Advance TRS, we are committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. As part of our ongoing dedication to social value, two of our team members recently visited Surrey Care Trust in Woking to support individuals looking to work on their employability skills.
On Thursday, 27th February, our team volunteered their time to sit down with candidates who need that little bit of extra help in preparing for job interviews. For a few hours, our recruitment professionals hosted one-on-one mock interviews, providing valuable insights and guidance to help build confidence and improve interview techniques.
Supporting Candidates with Practical Interview Training
During the session, participants had the opportunity to choose a job scenario relevant to their career aspirations. Taking on the role of hiring managers, our team conducted realistic interview simulations, offering constructive feedback on their performance to both the ‘candidate’ and their Surrey Care Trust mentors. We covered key interview techniques, including:
- The STAR Technique – Teaching candidates how to structure their answers effectively using the Situation, Task, Action, and Result framework.
- Common Interview Questions – Helping individuals prepare for frequently asked interview questions and helping them tailor their responses to highlight their skills and strengths.
- Confidence and Communication – Providing tips on body language, tone, and articulation to ensure candidates present themselves professionally.
The Impact of Social Value
Engaging with the community in this way allows us to share our industry expertise and make a real difference in people’s lives. By offering professional interview coaching, we aim to bridge the gap between job seekers and employment opportunities, ensuring everyone has the support they need to succeed.
Our Commitment to Social Value at Advance TRS
We are incredibly proud of our team members for taking the time to support this initiative, and we look forward to future collaborations with Surrey Care Trust to continue empowering individuals on their career journeys.
