"Interview Role Play - Practice Makes Perfect!"

Moderators: Laura Goddard, John Hadley,

TOPIC

Do you have your "story" in place? Can you effectively answer behavioral interview questions? Do you have your answers in place for those tough questions you may be asked? Everything in your career search comes together in one critical meeting -- the interview. This is the make or break point.

You can excel at presenting yourself, engaging people in networking, securing referrals, and navigating around gatekeepers, but if you can't turn interviews into offers, all will come to naught.

Each quarter, we share simple techniques and let you practice interview skills in a safe environment. Don't let the interviews that matter be your "practice" interviews!
