Thorny Interview Questions? - Ask the Coach for Answers!

We’ve all experienced them…interview questions that surprise you, stump you, and puzzle you.  How can you anticipate them, prepare for them, and answer them in a way that helps you ace the interview?

“Ask the Coach” and learn how!

Join us for an invigorating, interactive evening where we will address the specific questions that have hampered your effectiveness in interviews.  Learn how to handle any interview question with poise and polish as together we explore what’s behind the questions, what recruiters are looking to hear, and how you can adapt your interview style and responses to impressively handle any interview question you are asked. 

Submit the tough interview questions you have encountered along with the questions you dread.  Together we will develop a strategy for effectively answering them all. 

Attention: Please submit questions in advance via the Eventbrite registration. Random drawings will be performed to determine which questions are addressed.

Don't miss an evening where you can expand your network, make new friends, share knowledge with your peers, and hear highly relevant and beneficial insights and perspectives from experts in the marketplace.
