Interviewing: Presenting the BEST version of you for your Interview:

I've tried to include as much up-to-date and relevant information to fit the various circumstances that the majority of my students either ARE in or WILL find themselves in. As I've mentioned briefly, this information is geared largely to the United States corporate employment. There are so many variations and nuances that it would be almost impossible to configure content for every individual situation. However, the basics of interviewing haven't changed dramatically in decades!

This module will cover pre-interview steps-including conducting research, checking your online identity, and how best to dress for your interview. Secondly, there is a specific section covering what to expect regarding the actual day of your interview. Finally, the Module concludes with information about the follow up after the interview, and any negotiations that might ensue.
