The High Performance Interview
Although a good application will often get your in the door you may see the prospect of an up and coming job interview as a formidable hurdle. If this is true for you think about your job interview as an opportunity for you to become a valued employee and a chance for the interviewer to get to know you as a potential member of staff.

We can help perform well at you interview whether your concern is how to deal with those tricky "what if?" questions or simply how to relax.

As you are guided through your Morrisby Profile report by one of our professionally qualified careers advisers you'll discover a wealth of information that will motivate and encourage you.

If you want to discover skills and abilities you never thought you had, experience again capabilities you once though to be lost or simply want confirmation of what you believe to be true about your particular gifting then the Morrisby Profile is the ideal choice for you.

Personality Type Indicators
You are a unique individual and nobody can say other wise. However, you will tend to have a preference in how you relate to the world around you and other people. Have you ever wondered why talking to strangers taxes your reserves but energises others, why your desk is neat and tidy when somebody else's appears chaotic and messy, why a sudden change of plan exasperates you but excites your colleague, why some us like the detail and others paint the world with broad brush strokes? It is because we all have our own personality preferences.

Try signing your name with your preferred writing hand and then describing the experience. You will probably use phrases such as 'feels natural', 'didn't have to think about it' or 'it was effortless and easy'. You'll also notice how neat and eligible your handwriting appears. However, if you now do the same but this time with your non-preferred writing hand you'll experience contrasting feelings. Signing your name now no doubt feels unnatural and you have had to concentrate when doing it. Your letters may look awkward, clumsy and appear childlike. The words you use to describe the preference for one hand over the other will also apply to your personality.

In everyday life you will behave in a manner that reflects your personality preference and allows you to be at your best. Gaining an understanding of yourself brings its own rewards in recognising your strengths, determining career choice, communicating better with others, appreciating how and why others are different, improving your performance in the work place, reducing your stress levels and in motivating yourself to get more out of life.
