Right company wrong job and how to land it – November 16th 2015 #crc1029fm

Liam Horan, Managing Director, Sli Nua Careers Ltd, talks to on Community Radio Castlebar, in Career Corner –  a series of career tips interviews that will be broadcast each Monday on CRC-fm at 5.30pm GMT.

Q: I am going for a job in a progressive company but, to be honest, it’s not really the job I want. It is a step down the ladder from where I would like to be in the same company and I can’t deny that I will be watching to move up as soon as possible. How do I handle this in interview? I don’t want to make a false move that would cost me dearly at this critical juncture. I know I can be an immediate success in the advertised job (DR, email).
