Let's have a look then at the interview skills balance sheet. And of course, we start with interview skills, fixed assets, and your interview skills. fixed assets are your long established skills and capabilities. So of course, your professional qualifications, your academic qualifications, and your deeply ingrained capabilities. So fluency in the language for example, or long term experience of living in another country or a particular IT systems or industry experience, even family experience of running a business being in business, and proven outcomes from projects that you've delivered, so whether long established and embedded and you can show the real outcomes of the project. Those are your fixed assets for your interview skills balance sheet, and of course, you should start to list those now and think about those now.

Next, we move on to working capital. And our current assets in our interview skills balance sheet are more recently developed and emerging skills and capabilities. So this is ongoing CPD. This has recently developed skills that's perhaps not as embedded as your long term fixed assets, intermediate level skills that you're still developing ongoing projects where it's too early for results, or that they're still ongoing. And you might gain bonus points with the interviewer here by mentioning skills or experience that you would like to gain with the employer. Then we have our current liabilities in our interview skills balance sheet, and your current liabilities or your skills gaps.

I was asked recently when I was doing this training, whether you should reveal your current liabilities skill gaps, and I guess the answer is no, you shouldn't really reveal them unless you're specifically asked. For example, if you lacks experience in the employers accounting system Then that's not really going to count in your favor forget in this particular job isn't. But of course, you may also use skill gaps to your advantage. For example, one of the things that attracted me to your organization is that I'm really interested in developing my skills and experience in such in such an area. To have a skills gap though in an area that is central to the role description is rather risky and makes your chances of getting that job you know lesser than they might be. Okay, let's look at interview skills long term liabilities, in our interview skills balance sheet, and your long term liabilities are your immovable constraints.

Now, I don't want to say that these are really liabilities in the real world. I don't consider these things to be liabilities in real world, but in the construction of our interview skills balance sheet, these are what you would put in your long term liabilities section. And they are the things that you need to be aware of when going into interview when applying for jobs, in terms of they are going to constrain your ability to get some jobs. For example, I live in Scotland, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But it does mean that jobs in the south of England really out of my range, I'm not going to get anything down there. So for example, your long term liabilities in your interview skills balance sheet might include the fact that you don't wish to relocate to develop your career, that you have family or carrying responsibilities, which may impact at some times on your attendance, or limit your ability to travel for the organization, that you're strongly committed to a work life balance and are not willing to work silly hours, or that you have other personal constraints.

Now unless these are very minor and none of the employees business, you should generally be upfront about your removable restrictions. It's not fair to pretend to an employer who wants somebody who's able to travel between offices in Different countries, that in fact, you've got carrying responsibilities and you're unable to do that travel. So you should generally be up front about these things. And lastly, we come on to the interview skills, shareholders funds, and the shareholders funds in your interview skills balance sheet, or your personal attributes, social capital, and that sort of thing. So for example, communication skills, experience, presentation skills that you could add facilitation experience, training delivered, published works and articles will be really strong for you. presentations at conferences, or seminars or workshops will also count in your favor.

If you have any involvement with professional or industry bodies, you should put that here. And of course, hobbies and interests that are perhaps relevant to the role that you're going up for social community charity involvement. Sporting achievements will also count in your favor, and any other personal challenges that you've overcome. So now you can put Pause the video here if you wish, or wait until the end of this course. But think about preparing your own personal interview skills balance sheet. And here is a brief summary of mine for example, terms of fixed assets.

I have a bachelor's degree a Bachelor of Science degree with honors. I have the fellowship of the charter to Institute of Management Accountants, I've worked on many projects, and I'm possible reasonably possible in French. My current assets include ongoing work on the Agile accounting, and recent Primary Care Health Care experience here in the UK. Current Liabilities for some reason I'm completely incapable of getting on with SAP. I don't know why but that's just the way of me long term liabilities. As I said, I live in Scotland wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but that does restrict the projects that I can go for.

I like to have a strong work life balance. And finally, in terms of shareholders funds, I have many articles published many webinars delivered. I have a dozen courses on accounting CPD dotnet, and other sites. And hopefully you think you might agree that I'm a decent presenter. So straight after this webinar, work on your own interview skills balance sheet
