Session 11: Interview Practice - Tuesday April 12th: 10 am – 12 pm
Congratulations, you were invited to an interview and have been preparing by investigating the company, its competitors, and the people you will likely meet.
You’ve also been preparing your STAR/PAR stories. But, how do you know you are ready?
You practice.
Why you need to do this: Actors understand how practice isn’t enough. That’s why they have dress rehearsals. Even the live TV show Saturday Night Live (SNL) has a dress rehearsal!
Practicing your interviewing skills has been proven to enhance your chance of landing the job.
If you are already in the program, use the same link you used for any previous Tuesday session you attended this year.
New to the program? Registration is Required: https://50plusjobseekers.org/
