Philadelphia - December 6, 2007 - Right Management, the global outplacement
leader, has launched iView, a new. leading-edge career development solution
that enables job candidates to dramatically improve their interviewing
effectiveness.
iView is a web-based interviewing practice technology which, when combined
with personalized coaching, enables job candidates to land the best career
opportunities as quickly as possible.
"The ability to deliver an articulate and persuasive message when conducting
an interview makes a big difference in being successful in a competitive job
market," said Douglas J. Matthews, President and Chief Operating Officer of
Right Management (www.right.com <http://www.right.com/> ). "As experts in
the industry, Right Management recognizes that communication skills
consistently rank at the top of those that employers consider most
important," Matthews added.
iView has been added to RightChoiceT - Right Management's innovative, global
outplacement service that supports individuals all the way through to
transition success. "Enhancing RightChoiceT with iView demonstrates our
continued commitment to developing innovative tools and resources to support
the evolving needs of today's outplacement candidates," Matthews said.
iViewT provides candidates with a richer, more progressive experience,
enabling professionals to hone critical communication and presentation
skills, creating an increased level of preparedness and confidence that
enhances an individual's effectiveness and success during interviews. iView
offers more choices in how and when services are delivered, bridging
superior technology, personalized coaching with a professional career
consultant, and results-based accountability by providing a career
development tool that optimizes and accelerates the job search process.
"Preparation is critical to success," Matthews said. "Knowing how to
skillfully and concisely communicate your message - during a job interview,
when making a presentation, negotiating a job offer, or conducting a
networking meeting - provides a unique competitive advantage."
The percentage of job candidates who were well-prepared for interviews
increased to 85 percent at the conclusion of their outplacement programs, up
from just 33 percent before beginning outplacement, according to Right
Management's research.
The communication skills that differentiate high performers from low
performers, according to Right Management's research, are:
-- Conciseness of answers
-- Structure of answers
-- Logical flow of information
-- Eye-contact
-- Clarity of speech
Using a webcam in a Right Management office, individuals record a simulated
interview or presentation, then immediately play back the recording to see
and hear their practice sessions. Next, candidates work one-on-one with
Right Management career consultants to assess their communication skills,
body language and tone, and receive individualized feedback and coaching to
strengthen and refine their verbal and non-verbal skills.
"iViewT gives candidates the opportunity to prepare and practice their
messages," Matthews said. "A good resume might get you in the door, but a
great interview can get you an offer."
