The
Pryce Alexander Behavioural Profiler
Whilst
all the Pryce Alexander team are experienced in getting to understand
our candidates needs, wants and desires, we will never be able
to secure your new job for you. On the day, this will be down
to you.
Many
of the leading employers that you will want to work for are using
a variety of tests, psychometric profiles and other cognitive
tools to help them find the ‘right’ employee.
Now
with Pryce Alexander, you not only have the opportunity to complete
your own profile and give yourself a distinct advantage, but we
can use it as a tool to get to know you better. If we know you
better, we will significantly increase the chances of helping
you secure the job you want.
Why
is it important?
The
behavioural profile we believe is an invaluable tool in your quest
to find new employment. If you complete it honestly, you will
probably find it extraordinarily accurate. It will not only reveal
how you behave and how others perceive you in the working environment
but it will provide you and your consultant at Pryce Alexander
with invaluable information about your temperament, behaviour
patterns and personality.
It
will help us to identify potential skills that you may not have
realised that you have and the detailed, written report it produces
will be a document for you to keep and refer to time and time
again.
CV Origination and Presentation
To
get to an interview you need a CV that grabs the attention of
the reader. It needs to be clear and simple, enabling the reader
to find the information they need quickly. You probably only have
about 20 seconds to attract the reader's attention. Above all,
it has to be relevant to the job function for which you have applied.
It is essential that the words used in your CV really make the reader
want to meet you and to invite you to that all-important interview.
You should treat your CV as a sales document. After all, you are
selling yourself to a potential employer.
Pryce Alexander can work with you to create this important
document. We can advise you how to create the right professional
impression and give you the advantage.
We will consult with you on every aspect of your CV from origination
right through to presentation and we will do this for job roles
and opportunities that we have found for you and even those we
haven’t! If you’ve seen that dream job in the paper
or on the internet, let us know and we’ll help you to get
it.
Interview
Training
Your
investment in the correct, relevant preparation prior to any interview
is not only the best way to maximise your chances of securing
an offer of employment, it is essential. If you are able to understand
and interpret what your interviewer is trying to do you’ll
be able to feel more confident and practiced which will enable
you to deliver the right responses.
We at Pryce Alexander offer courses that consider the interview process
from both sides of the table.
To help give you a better understanding of the interview process
and improve your performance our training embraces:
- How to thoroughly prepare for the interview
- Understanding competency based interviewing
- Questioning styles and techniques
- Effective responses
- Non-verbal communication
All our courses utilise a range of techniques, strategies and knowledge
gained from our collective practical and theoretical experience
gained in the recruitment, I.T., Finance, Leasing and Asset Management
markets as both employees and as employers ourselves.
Our interview
training programmes are held regularly and include elements involving
practical exercises, video and role-play.
Career Counselling Service
Careers
Counselling is a chance to look in depth at where you are now
and develop ideas for your future career direction. It is a combination
of exercises, questionnaires and discussion. The Myers Briggs
Type Indicator® (MBTI®) personality questionnaire is a
very well-established tool to help you identify your natural personality
traits, values and strengths and how these might be applied to
your choice of working environment.

Personal Mentoring
In working with individuals, we find that initially many see the process of furthering their career a daunting and often isolated and lonely process.
Even when they have found the 'right' role, we are able to provide ongoing support, guidance and direction. We contract with individuals to provide them with what can be best described as 'personal mentoring'.
"Support, assistance, advocacy or guidance given by one person to another in order to achieve an objective or several objectives over a period of time"
"Off-line help by one person to another in making significant transitions in knowledge, work or thinking."
"The support of one individual by another within a personal relationship developed through regular contact over a period of time"
For the individual, mentoring can improve self-confidence and self esteem, increase motivation, broaden horizons and experience and raise achievements and aspirations.
All our mentoring programmes have an evaluation process built into them. Your personal needs are considered right at the start of the programme when objectives are set. We have found that evaluation provides information that can be used to make mentoring programmes more effective to you as we move forward and to new people that want this very personal service.
