Summary
How to encourage job seeker compliance, without resorting to demerits ?
The best outcomes for job seekers result from a strong connection with their employment consultant: from mutual respect, honesty and trust. But such relationships can be difficult to establish, unless the consultant knows how to use language to be assertive, rather than aggressive, and supportive rather than passive.
Assertiveness is a skill that comes naturally to only a few people: most of us have to learn it.
Join Dr. Colin Harrison as he explores the high ground between passivity and aggression, and how to get there through attention to crucial communication skills.
