Interview Questions and Answers for a Career Guidance Officer Interview

Interview Questions and Answers for a Career Advisor

The career guidance job market is crowded.

This competitive sector has applicants applying for advertised roles who come from a number of backgrounds; career counselling, post-grad CEIAG advisors, school career advisors, higher educational career guidance officers and professionals making a side-career move from, as an example, a probation officer, school teacher or public sector worker role.

Vacancies is the career sector are starting to increase; with schools now having to meet government GATSBY benchmarks more high schools, colleges and higher educational institutes are recruiting career guidance officers. Job centers are also seeing the need for a skilled practitioner to support job seekers to make informed career decisions, and many growth sectors employ specialist career advisors to  promote the roles available in each job sector.

Career Guidance Officer Job Role

To prepare for a career guidance job interview it is important that the applicant understands the job role they are applying for, as each role varies depending on the employer, the customers or service users age group and job sector.

As an example, one career advisor maybe employed to deliver 1-to-1 face-to-face career guidance sessions, while another delivers online career information or delivers group sessions.

A career advisor attached to a job center is more likely to focus  employability advice compared to a college career advisor who will be giving higher educational advice. Some roles require specialist advice; understanding the barriers of widening participation or the various roles of a particular job sector.

Therefore, this article aims to provide the job interview questions and answers for the most common career guidance Q&As, that are likely to be asked in all career advisor job interviews.

8 of the Most Commonly Asked Career Guidance Job Interview Questions and Answers

Each Interview question will be broken down and explored. Answers can be based on the information provided but must be tailored to an applicants own work experience, skills and qualities.

CEIAG Interview Question 1: Can you breakdown your relevant career officer experience and state how it is useful in this role?

When answering the ‘experience’ interview question, it is important to state experiences related to the job role – the information, advice and guidance knowledge for the target group (children or adults, job seekers or university students)  that the company supports.

It is also good to highlight an understanding of career theories and models, as this shows sector knowledge.

As the job role is about supporting people, often vulnerable clients, and requires a level of work ethic, at this stage of the job interview, applicants can increase likeability by showing ‘passion’ for the job role.

Interview answer formula

  • Give duration in the industry
  • State level of qualification
  • Give example of working with a similar target group
  • End by refencing your passion for ‘helping’ people

CEIAG Interview Question 2: Explain the difference between IAG (information, advice and guidance)?

There will be several technical question during the career guidance interview, with the most common one asking for the explanation between the different aspects of the role.

First, if unknown, applicants need to read up on the meaning of Information, Advice and Guidance.

In short;

  • Information is passing on knowledge or facts often collected from a credible source.
  • Advice is a professional judgement, encouraging the customer to take action – this is the practitioners opinion based on research and studies.
  • Guidance is the practitioner supporting the customer to make their own decisions through self-reflective and challenging questions (not by being given advice)

The interview answer should end, once an explanation of the terminology  has been given, by stating, with examples, the best situation to use each of the three elements of IAG.

As a side note the ‘CE’ of CEIAG means ‘careers education’.

Job Interview Book

CEIAG Interview Question 3: Give an example of when you have worked with a client who had a fixed career idea, and explain what you did?

To help clients to make informed career opinions, the practitioners job is to challenge the clients perceived career ideas.

It is not the career advisors role to decide which career best suits the client, as unconscious bias can be at play here, rather the role of a career advisor is to help the customer to make an informed opinion.

There are many theories around career guidance that a career practitioner needs to understand but as an overarching rule; just because a client stats they want to move into X career doesn’t necessarily mean the career goal is their best option, as their decision may have been influenced or their awareness of options maybe limited.

As an example, a client may want to enter the world of work because this is what their family and peers did.

To answer the situational interview question:

  • Describe the situation; the client and their job goal.
  • Explain how you question what the client liked about this career goal.
  • And how you asked what they felt they wouldn’t enjoy.
  • Next give evidence of how you challenged this career goal – this could be in the form of comparing two similar job roles, asking the miracle question or having a conversation around the pro’s and con’s of the different routes into higher education or a career.
  • Finally, explain the outcome to the conversation, clearly stating the clients mindset.

CEIAG Interview Question 4: What research do you undertake to help give informed advice?

Working in a industry that advises on other job sectors, advice can easily become dated. Career practitioners, therefore, need to stay abreast of new local market information. This can include growth sector by area, new qualifications such as T-Levels, student loan information and emerging career trends…the list becomes endless.

For some career guidance roles, the practitioner may also be responsible for giving ‘supportive’ advice on housing,  offender management and finances.

It is important then to understand the job role, the clientele and the area of IAG   to be given, and use this insight to answer the interview question.

For this example we will use LMI – local market information.

When discussing the undertaken research don’t make the mistake of simply explaining how you attended X webinar or Y training course. This is a low scoring answer.

To score high, explain the reason why you chosen to research, as an example, local market information. How does knowing about LMI help a career practitioner?

Next, explain what you gained from the research and finally, give an example of how the research help you to help a client during an IAG session.

You can also round the answer of by explaining how you are a life long learner and you continue to update your knowledge and expertise by periodically conducting research.

But the golden interview answer will go to those career practitioners who have built upon other peoples research to find news ways of working with a niche group of clients or within a specialized area.

CEIAG Interview Question 5: Give an example of working with an angry service user?

There are numerous ways this question will be asked:

  • How would you motivate an unmotivated client?
  • How do you handle a client with unrealistic career goals?
  • Explain what you would do if a client wouldn’t answer your questions?
  • Give an example of building rapport with a difficult service user?
  • Have you ever had a client get violent?

The interview question will be phrased depending on the IAG sub-niche the advertised job role is in. But in 9 out 10 career advisor interviews, a situational question around a client’s behavior will be asked.

Most interviewees will be able to answer this question with a real-life example as none-experienced career advisors will have undertaken a placement as part of their CEIAG course, and experienced career practitioners will have several examples.

The following steps can be used to create a strong stcruture for the interview answer

  1. Confirm experience confidently “I have had to deal with this situation on many occasions….”
  2. State overview “…an example of this was when (explain the situation)…”
  3. Give specifics “…the client was X (quite/angry/annoyed) because of Y(been turned down for benefits/forced to attend the session/in a bad mood)…”
  4. Action “…to support the client I (add detailed explanation of what you did to turn the situation around)..”
  5. Outcome “…this resulted in…”

CEIAG Interview Questions 6: What do you understand by the ‘contracting’ part of an IAG session?

The contracting stage of an intervention is very important and is used in many therapeutic settings. The contract is an agreement between the practitioner and client is transparent ensuring each party fully understands the processes of the sessions.

In career guidance sessions the contract will cover

  • Duration of session/number of sessions
  • An explanation of data protection and GDPR
  • Confidentiality and record keeping
  • The session aims
  • Explanation of safe guarding
  • Impartiality

Interviewees need to explain their understanding of ‘contracting’ and give an example of using contracting in an intervention.

  • Explain how you started  a session discussing contracting and how you talked about, as an example, safeguarding.
  • Go on to state how the client disclosed a concern.
  • Next, explain how you reacted to the information, informing the client, as you stated in the contracting stage of the session, what steps you needed to take.
  • Finally, give the outcome to the intervention.

Interview Test

CEIAG Interview Question 7: When would you make a referral?

As career advisors support clients with various issues, most career practitioners wont be an expert in all things. Therefore career advisors will often make referrals to different agencies from a job center referral for a benefit application to social services for safeguarding concerns.

To answer questions on referrals it is important to explain how you only refer to approved referral agencies, how you report on referrals (internal recording systems) and how the referral has been followed up to check progression.

CEIAG Interview Question 8: Is there anything you would like to ask us?

At the end of the career guidance officer interview the employer will end the interview by allowing the candidate to ask them questions about the job role, organisation and day to day duties.

It is important for an applicant to think about their ideal job role – how they work best, and ask questions to the employer based around their ideal. Once offered a job role(s) the answers to these questions help the applicant decide if they should take the offer position or not.

  • What’s a typical day as career advisor like here?
  • Is the job role office based or outreach?
  • Which agencies do you collaborate with?
  • What CPD do you put staff through?
  • What is staff retention like?
  • What projects are you currently working on?
  • What is the next tender you are applying for?
  • Where do you get your funding from?

Common Asked Housing Officer Questions

A housing officer will often be employed for housing associations or the local authority, supporting clients with the assessment of needs in terms of housing applications.

The housing officer may also specialise in working with homeless people and/or service users with additional needs.

How competitive is a Housing Officer job Interview?

Medium in competitiveness

Interview Specifics

Structural job interview last 45 minutes with 8 interview questions being asked

This article will list the commonly asked job interview questions for a housing officer.

By understanding the job interview structure and by knowing the commonly asked housing officer interview questions, applicants can prepare answers that highlight their level of competencies within this industry.

Common Asked Housing  Officer Interview Questions 

Can you tell me about your housing officer experience?

This housing officer interview question is asked for two reasons; 1 it is an open question to get you talking/feeling relax at the job interview start. 2, to gain a general overview of your experience (generic because the follow-up questions will go into more detail)

To answer this job interview question, start by summarising your experience as a housing officer, your relevant qualifications and a key unique skill relevant to the industry – something that makes you stand out, this could be a specialism you have IE working to house homeless service users.

How do you assess the needs of a client?

This interview question is key because this is the crux of the job role.

Split this answer into two sections. Section one is your people skills; explain how you build rapport, how you use effective listening skills, how open and closed questions have a powerful impact, and how you remain calm in stressful situations. Give a short example to highlight your level of expertise and competencies.

Section two should explain the interview structure; the questions you should ask, the information you need to collate, and how you follow GDPR, data protection and confidentiality legislation.

What does customer service mean to you?

You may be asked several customer services-related interview questions.

In the housing association sector often the service users can be stressed or angry. Some service users may have alcohol or drug addiction. In some cases, you will be speaking to clients who are struggling with finances and have been turned down for financial support.

When answering interview questions relating to customer service and communication,  explain how you can handle these situations;

What was the situation – why was the service user angry or upset?

How did you handle the situation – what did you say or do to help calm down the client?

What was the positive outcome – how did the client respond to you?

What do you look for during a housing inspection?

Competency-based job interview questions require you to fall back on your experience.

Give an example of when you have carried out an inspection that had issues (you need to pick an inspection with issues to show that you can deal with this in a professional way)

In the example explain what you look for during a general inspection, the inspection process you follow and quote safeguarding regulations, and how you, when required, challenge a service user.

Follow this up with the example “one time during an inspection I saw…” Give details of what you found, the potential safeguarding issue, and what you did to address this

How would you have a positive effect on your colleagues and team? 

A big part of the housing officers’ job criteria is to have the ability to work as part of a close-knit team. You will be asked one way or another about your ability to work within a team.

Open the teamwork answer by simply explaining how you enjoy working as part of a team and how in all previous housing roles teamwork has been an important aspect of the role. This opening confirmation statement shows how you have this required skill.

Now you have ticked the ‘teamwork’ box, you need to give a real-life example. A good frame for this job interview answer is to give a ‘helper’ perspective.

Describe how a colleague was having a problem with a housing issue and how this problem affected the output of the whole team.

Go on to describe how you took action and explain the action you took. Follow this up with the positive outcome focusing on how the whole team benefited from your quick actions.

You can also talk about the larger team – in this role, you will need to work with a range of agencies and stakeholders, including social services, jobcentre plus, citizens’ advice service.

Which other agencies would you refer a service user to? 

Part of a housing officer’s job role is to work with the tenants to help them to be successful.

To be effective in this job duty you will need to work with, signpost or refer to a large number of partner agencies from social services to the local job center, from doctor surgeries to career advice officers.

In your answer list the relevant agencies you would partner with and give an example of when you would make a referral compared to signposting.

The example has to be specific. First, explain the service users situation and the key block that was holding them back. Explain the limitations of your roles and how the service user required expert advice.

Go on to explain how the service user had attempted to get support but had failed. End the interview answer by stating what you did to ensure the client got the support and advice they required.

Do you have any questions for me?

A guaranteed question is the “do you have any questions for me?” question. And your answer should be YES! Always ask a question.

Good questions to ask in a housing officer job interview are;

  • What is your approach to supporting service users with their many barriers?
  • What development opportunities do you have to help upskill a housing officer?
  • How many hostels/houses do the organisations look after?
  • What is the best part of your day?

Aristotles Teaches How To Persuasion in a Job Interview

Aristotle’s Persuasion Technique

Persuasion is the goal of the job interview.

In the job interview, you need to influence, persuade and motivate through the answers of your job interview answers. You naturally persuade all the time, through the words you say and how you say these words. The problem is you may persuade people not to recruit rather than persuade them to offer you the desired job position.

Aristotle was a master of the persuasive language. We have taken the leanings of Aristotle’s rhetoric and made it relevant to the job interview.

Ethos, Pathos, Logos

Ethos is your character, how you come across to the interviewer. In a job interview, you need to be seen as credible, an authority. If the job interviewer believes in you, they will listen to you, if they listen to you, they will want to buy you (offer you the position) Aristotle said “We believe good men more fully and more readily than others.”

An example of an ethical appeal: “What I have learned from working in this industry for over 28 years is…” Your duration of experience has a direct path to your Ethos.

Pathos creates an emotional response from the interview panel. In the job interview situation, you need to appeal directly to the interviewer’s emotions. The great interviewee controllers the employer’s emotions throughout the job interview, taking them on an emotional roller coaster.

An example of an emotional interview answer is “have you ever been in a situation when a multi-pound deal was just about to be lost….what I did to turn things around was…” By getting an employer to imagine/remember a negative situation stirs up their negative emotions, before you create a positive emotional pull, by explaining your positive outcome.

 

Logos is a way to use logic; reasoning, data, statistics and even debates and arguments. Imagery creates an emotional pull, logos allows you to give the facts to back up the story. “This technique increased profit by 35%..” “9 out of 10 people benefited from X”

Out Of The Box Interview Tips
	


	
	

		
Think Out Of The Box To Pass a Job Interview


Run of the mill interviewing techniques are becoming talk of the past. 


“Tell me about yourself”?, A question that has been out there for so long that candidates tend to just learn the answer to it by heart with minor tweaks here and there.


If the questions aren’t going to change so will the same patented responses will be given during interviews. There is no advancement in the interviewing procedures and no learning for graduates coming fresh out of the universities.


career






Let’s consider a situation where a candidate (you) gets the call from HR representative of the company you applied to. 


A unique feature about this call would be (we’ll get into that) but how normally a candidate would respond to one such call:


HR: “Hi, is this Mr. X I’m speaking to?”


Mr. X: “Yes, who’s this?”


HR: “This Ms. Y from ABC Co., you applied for the position of XYZ. Have you got a minute, I have to ask a couple of questions?”










Mr. X: “Please go on”


HR: “Ok, so have been you working somewhere?”


Mr. X: “Both yes and no, actually I resigned from my previous employment and am currently serving my notice period”


HR: “Ok, it says here you’ve been with the firm for last 5 years, what makes you want to switch?”


Mr. X: “Although, I have had no issues here during the tenure of my employment, all I feel is a bit stagnant where I’m and want to challenge myself in pursuit of new and better opportunities”


HR: “Alright, let me schedule an interview with you tomorrow say at 11am?”


Mr. X: “Sounds good to me, will be there.”


HR: “The directions to our office will be emailed to you shortly.”


Mr. X: “Sure thanks. Bye.”


That is how a normal telephonic interview appears as. But if we could improvise and candidate can earn the seat in front row? Startling? We pick it up from point no. 10 above and see how it changes.






    


Mr. X: “Can I suggest a date, as I have some things to take care of in the days to follow? Hence I won’t be able to squeeze time for the meet.”


HR (based on the availability): “When it would be possible for you to visit, then?”


Mr. X: “On so and so date (suggest a date for 2-3 days ahead)


The idea is to buy time so you can thoroughly search about the company, its stakeholders, review their profile on LinkedIn and prepare yourself well.


HR: “How does day after tomorrow sound?”


Mr. X: “Great!”


Now if the counter argument is not up to your liking, best lock in the day as it maybe that the organization is interviewing other candidates or the interviewing authority may not be available in those days. 


At least by making a request you have made your presence felt and that you are not typical instead expressive. Just that is the purpose of asking to schedule at a later date. This gives you leverage in negotiations at the time of offer.


You don’t need to insist on scheduling for the day/date you have in mind or you’ll lose the opportunity, altogether. An attempt suffices and generally employer allows for a day or two in scheduling meets for candidates. 


Interview questions and answers










Secondly, the questions needs to be revisited to allow candidates to speak open-endedly and when someone is provided the platform to speak, their frame mind is reflected and the person interviewing can gauge whether or not the person would be a suitable fit for the organization. 


Questions could be:










“How much element of fun is part of your life?”


“Do you cater to sarcasm?”


“What if I were to ring up a close friend of yours, will he/she be able to tell me your weaknesses?”

How to Answer the Interview Question Tell Me About Yourself?
	


	
	

		
Interview Answer for the Interview Question“Tell Me About Yourself” 


An interviewer almost always starts off by asking you to tell him about yourself, like an overview about what kind of a person you are. 


The question is, most of us get this question wrong and it’s actually the question that sets up the tone for the rest of the interview. 


Depending on what you answer, the rest of the interview will carry on from there. What you don’t know is that there are actually a lot of secret and hidden meanings hidden behind every word you say.


This question is designed in such a way as to provoke you into speaking up about yourself. No, the interviewer is not interested in asking about your personality or life story. What she actually wants to know about are your work ethics and how you behave professionally, not to mention what achievements you’ve made and how much experience and dedication you have.


The art to pass any interview is to appear confident and dedicated in your work. You need to show promise and sell yourself. Here are a few ways you can rehearse and answer this question in a well-mannered way.

Focus on your strengths


First things first, what are your core strengths? What is your experience, the level of your skills, your best traits, and your winning points? 


Mention skills you’re proud of and use strong words to make yourself sound different from the tens of candidates competing for the same position.


Conduct a suitable S.W.O.T analysis about yourself because you’re sure to be asked about each category in general; your strengths, weaknesses, the opportunities you’re hoping for, and the flaws which you know you have and need to work and improve upon. 


The interviewer would be on high alert looking for any trait which poses a threat to the organization in your interview, so it’s better if you know about them beforehand and try not to let them show.








Follow a Script


Just in case you don’t forget the important points you came up with, design a script and write all the things you wish to discuss yourself and the pattern in which you should bring them up ideally. 


Don’t swallow your script whole and recite like a robot in your interview. You don’t want to appear memorized in front of your potential employer.


The pattern you come up with should have a systematic pattern about your past experience and your accomplishments. 


You can cover your weaknesses in a smart way by stating the measures you took to overcome them and how they made you a better person. After that, you can tell where you are currently and your responsibilities, your skills, and your qualities which can be beneficial to the organization.










End it by a well–versed speech about what you wish to do in the future and how you’re looking forward to the company to help you achieve your goals. Give importance and the impression to the fact that you’re willing to stay long-term with the company and you’ll also commit to them and stay loyal.

Practice till you’re Confident


It is a well-known fact that a nervous candidate on average spends about forty-five minutes going over an interview. Think about it this way. The job you’re applying for may very well affect your whole life and decide where you go from there. So basically, you’re spending less than an hour practicing for a job which can decide your whole career.


Remember, you’ll only stay confident as long as you have had enough practice about what you wish to emphasize about yourself and how quick of a learner you are. You need to learn to manage how to cover your weaknesses by reiterating the ways which help you become a better professional and how best you manage the things under your responsibility. Stress about your previous successes like how you are extremely deadline-compliant and how you have benefited the areas you have worked on by giving your input to the field.


Think of yourself as a product that needs to be marketed and how you can make it sell. What do you do when you pitch a concept or idea? You highlight all the benefits of your strategy or product, cover up any gaps by talking smoothly about how they can be overcome, and then you make your clients value it by making them understand how much better their lives will be if they incorporate your idea and what they’re missing out on.


Even if your interview didn’t start off with this question, it’s still useful to practice and knows about your self-worth and what you have to offer to the company. It’s not just for this question, but it’ll also help you answer the other questions asked in your interview. The main focus in an interview is you.
