We often prepare for interviews based on our past experiences and coaching we get on the fundamentals. It’s all good. But what happens if the questions come out of left field? What happens if you are asked only one open-ended question and are told, “You have 30 minutes, go”. What happens if a deeper diversity question comes at you? Are you prepared for questions that might even be not entirely legal to be asked? Please join Ed Samuel, Executive Career Coach with SamNova (www.samnovainc.com) as he pushes the envelope on interview preparation to a higher order. Ed has coached hundreds and hundreds of clients to interview success and much it is based on preparing for the basics and then the far tougher questions.
