The interview is one of the key elements of the job search process. As with any skill, we can get better at it with preparation and practice. In this workshop, participants will explore how to prepare for an interview and become familiar with the types of questions to expect, as well as the questions they should think about asking. They will learn how to prepare for second interviews, testing, and shadowing, as well as how to follow up on their interview sessions.
Mastering the Interview training materials are designed for trainers who work directly with job seekers, providing them with advanced skills and techniques. The job market can be fierce at times, and having any edge over the competition helps job seekers secure that highly desirable position, the one for which they have worked, studied, and prepared.
In this one-day advanced training course, trainers will create the opportunity for participants to:
- Understand the interview process
- Effectively answer questions
- Follow up on the interview
- Manage common problems and solutions
Lead the way and help job seekers through the interview process in this dynamic course.
