Job application skills
You have the experience, but in a job interview your story does not always come across. In this in-company workshop you learn to package your experience, prepare for every moment of the interview and stand out. The workshop consists of 1 half-day for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch, English or French.
Do you recognise this?
You are sitting opposite the recruiter and the first question is the same as always: tell me a bit about yourself. You start with your degree, run through your roles and notice halfway through that you are listing instead of telling. On the other side of the table there is friendly nodding.
On the way home you know what you wanted to say. You have the experience, but it did not come across the way you know it.
Employers today do not just look at technical competencies. They also want to know if you fit the culture and the team. Perhaps you notice that:
- you do not quite know how to make your experience sound like a story;
- you feel insufficiently prepared for the interview;
- you do not stand out among other candidates;
- you keep repeating the same interview mistakes.
With good preparation you enter the interview with more peace of mind and make a strong first impression.
Why does your story not come across?
Those who do not know how to package their experience list what is on their CV. That is correct, but it does not stick. An interviewer is looking for a story in which they can see you working in the team.
Meanwhile you repeat the same mistakes because you have no insight into them. You go into every interview with some nerves and an uncertain feeling about what you could have said better. That gnaws at your self-confidence.
It does not have to stay this way. Applying for a job is a skill, and you can learn and practise it.
How do you make an impression in a job interview?
A good interview starts with preparation, and with a story that fits the role and the culture. You can build that step by step.
Our coaches understand how nerve-racking such a moment is. In the workshop you learn to tackle the entire process, from preparation to following up on the interview, and you practise with the mistakes candidates make most often.
You package your experience into a story and look for what makes you stand out. This brings you to the results below, and next time you will go in with more confidence.
What you can do after the workshop
After the workshop you can:
- prepare for a job interview: before, during and after the interview;
- package your story and experience in a way that makes an impression;
- use strategies to stand out every time;
- recognise and avoid the most common interview mistakes.
This is how we approach it
We work in three steps: we listen to your question, you practise in the workshop and you keep practising afterwards.
Your story and your difference
You package your experience into a story that fits the role and the organisation. Then you look for what distinguishes you from other candidates.
Common mistakes
You practise with the interview mistakes candidates make most often, so that you recognise and overcome them.
Afterwards you keep practising
Every training is extended in the THOC Learning Space. Your material remains available and you get an AI Coach who knows the lesson.
We work in an experience-oriented way: you immediately get to work with the material in exercises that resemble real situations.

Frequently asked questions
For anyone who wants to prepare for a job interview and come out stronger. It is an in-company workshop, so we work with your group and with situations from your practice.
The workshop consists of 1 half-day, half a day. We tailor how we fill it to your group and your question, so that there is enough time to practise.
With six to twelve participants per group. This leaves room to practise, receive feedback and share experiences.
