Acing in Interview Skills Workshop
Acing in Interview Skills Workshop
Objective
In an interview, it's not just what you say but how you say it. Hiring decisions are also made within the first 5 minutes. So how can you make sure you leave a memorable impression and get the job offer?
Using interactive techniques (e.g. role-playing, games and videos), the workshop will provide tips and frameworks to help candidates in behavioural interview situations. In addition, we will discuss how to start strong with a comprehensive "tell me about yourself", and how to ask good questions at the end to leave a lasting impression.
