Successful Interviewing (Live Training)

Date: Every Thursday

Every step in the job search process is aimed at obtaining interviews.

It is at that point, that a potential hiring manager decides if you are right for the job, and, just as important, it is your time to evaluate whether the job is right for you.

Most interviews follow a predictable format, somewhat like the script of a play. An interview has logical steps that both the interviewer and applicant follow to decide if both will benefit from working together. These stages are called pre-contact preparation, greeting and rapport, questions/answers, and meeting closure. All four stages are equally important and deserve your consideration.
