No Meetings for a Few Weeks

We are suspending meetings for a few weeks. Let’s participate fully in social distancing so we can defeat the coronavirus. Check back for update

Preparing for an Interview

InterviewHave you ever been called in the morning for a face-to-face interview in the same afternoon? Our topic tomorrow is “Preparing for an Interview.” The purpose of the session is to review and discuss some very important things you can do to get ready for an interview.

We’ve had terrific success lately at my office preparing clients for interviews. Two gentlemen and one lady have final interviews this week. One lady we trained last week received a job offer this week. Another gentleman has an interview next Monday. My all-time favorite story was with a gentleman who hired us to do a full-scale, three-hour role play with him. He landed a job as president of the U.S. division of a Dutch company.

Come this week for a taste of this successful strategy.

To be better prepared for the meeting, bring your preparation notes for an upcoming job interview. If you don’t have an interview scheduled, bring notes from an interview you’ve already been to, or, bring a job lead for a position at a target company.

Developing and Delivering Your Exit Statement

Exit-Strategy-300x225 (2)

Hey fish, why did you leave?

“Why did you leave your last job?”

This issue has prevented many of you from landing a job. To make matters worse, you don’t even know you are not receiving offers because of this one question. To be better prepared for the meeting, bring your answer to this question: Why did you leave your most recent position? The one before? And the one before that?

Our topic for this Friday (8/23/2019) is “Developing and Delivering Your Exit Statement.”

We will also cover four more difficult questions that may be causing you to crash and burn in the interview room.
