PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

As Interview Skills specialists, we are best positioned to give your child a helping hand to master the art of tackling interviews, and to handle such high stress moments confidently.  

Set them up for success by giving them the right preparation and to build their confidence in tackling not just the DSA interview, but for any interview they will face in the future.

This is a highly practical, hands on workshop that will allow the trainer to coach each participant in a  comprehensive manner. It is designed to provide each student the opportunity to not only learn interview skills, but to actually put the skills to use and to have an experiential mock interview.

This workshop will be run by Discovering Potential's founder, Hwang Siew Ling, who has extensive experience training students for their DSA interviews. Siew Ling is an Interview and Career Coach, and she is a Certified Advanced Behavioural & Career Consultant, as well as a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
