The Immigrant Professionals Career Support Group is hosted by Solveiga Jaskunas and David Wragg online on Zoom.
Career Support for Immigrants to the US – Interview Preparation and Practice
Are you an immigrant professional looking for your first job or searching for a better one?
The hosts are both HR professionals and career coaches. You’ll receive career advice and support along with other participants new to the US job market.
In this session, we will address a question people often ask us: How do I improve my interview skills?
Your hosts will provide a blend of advice and practice. You’ll have the opportunity to prepare your answers to many common interview questions and then practice giving them. The hosts have many years of experience interviewing and coaching and will guide you through the interview processes used in the US.
This is an online Zoom meeting, and we encourage participants to join on a computer with a camera installed.
This Zoom meeting will also offer networking opportunities, including 15 minutes to ask questions at the end of the agenda. You’ll be on the call with other immigrants and volunteers with the same objective of creating a safe and supportive space to get job search and career support. Come prepared with your questions and ready to learn approaches that meet your needs.
