The InterviewCanvas
The Behavioural or Fit Interview is a common component of the hiring process. Regardless of your skills and competencies, your performance as Interviewer or Candidate can still make a dramatic difference between success and failure.
I developed the InterviewCanvas series of tools based on my experience coaching candidates and hiring managers to improve their interview performance. Download the InterviewCanvas here
While there are many great books and web resources on the subject, I could not find a simple tool to guide either party through the minimum preparation for a professional interview. So I built these tools.
The InterviewCanvas is work-in-progress. Your feedback is the main source of further development, so please send me your comments in the feedback box below.
Please contact me for commercial, training or educational use of the InterviewCanvas tools. Otherwise, the InterviewCanvas is currently free to download for personal use.
Accadence also offers Interview Skills training in a one-to-one setting either face-to-face, or over Zoom. From decoding the job description to post-interview debrief, you will get the training you want tailored for your needs and practice your interview technique until you are satisfied.
Prepare by making the first draft of your InterviewCanvas ready and bring your latest CV/Resumé, and ideally a Job Description for your target role or close to what you are aiming for.
