Interviewing Skills on Tuesday September 6th, kindly hosted by Barclays at its Eagle Lab (28 Chesterton Road, Cambridge CB4 3AZ) begins with the premise that good recruitment is about finding the right person for the job.
Although simple enough, it is often challenging to select the right candidate, especially in a competitive market. There are usually a number of people involved in the recruitment and selection process; this workshop is suitable for anyone who is part of that process and would like to develop their skills in this important area of responsibility.

You will also learn how to:
- establish and plan your own priorities
- plan work around your most productive times
- deal with interruptions so they cause minimal impact
- avoid procrastination and ‘swallow the frog’!
- set goals with time lines and milestones
- decide if a task is urgent , or important, or both

Transition to Management on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 September, also kindly hosted by Barclays at its Eagle Lab (28 Chesterton Road, Cambridge CB4 3AZ) is intended for those new to management; those with about six months' experience as a manager; high potentials who look to be promoted soon; or technical and project leads who would like to ‘up skill’ on their management techniques.
The first line manager role is unique in organisations, as this person is the one level who manages non-managers. This brings its own set of hurdles to overcome, and for people new to managing others there is a lot to learn. Being a new manager can be tough; and a practical toolkit of best practice dos and don’ts will really help new managers avoid mistakes, and feel more equipped to cope in the early days.
