The Basics of Interviewing

We often prepare for interviews based on our past experiences and our understanding of doing the basics well. We will be taking a hard look at 16 areas of basic interviewing preparation.

The questions can get harder and it unravels fast if the fundamentals are not done well. Are you ready for “So, Tell Me About Yourself? The importance of knowing your interviewers and new techniques only recently discovered. Learn why rapid fire and list mode are not good tactics. Learn the two (2) people who best always show up at your interview. Learn “the best question to ask”. Why closing alone could be the reason you get the job and so much more.
Please come with all your interview preparation questions.

Please join Ed Samuel, Executive Career Coach with SamNova (www.samnovainc.com) as he presents interview preparation best practices. Ed has coached hundreds and hundreds of clients as a career coach and recruiting professional to interview success leading to job offers over the last 15 years.
