In this workshop the speaker will discuss how to sharpen your interviewing skills to stand out amongst the competition. Understand that interviewers can find others just as competent as you, but will hire those that are self images. Learn how to make a positive impression during the course of the interview process while minimizing wrong perceptions that may lead to snap judgments. Learn how to sell yourself properly and increase likeability factors with the interviewers. Learn how to be prepared to answer the most common interview questions which will come up within the first five minutes of an interview and will lead them making the decision of hiring you.
Speaker - Asma Hashmi
The right way to Network: How to effectively utilize your Networking skills
Focus of this workshop is on networking as this is the single most effective way to job hunt and to increase business opportunities. Without a circle of high quality professional acquaintances, you will be severely disadvantaged throughout your career. However, building this circle requires planning and you have to continually work at it. This discussion will make you not only better at networking but it will attract more people to you as well. As they say, it is a two way street.
Speaker - Marcie Zinke Raja
