Course Description
In this interactive webinar, we will address what you need to do before, during, and after an interview to land the job you’re pursuing. Learners will have the chance to practice answering common questions that are presented in interviews, as well as plan out their own mini-stories so they are fully prepared for any and all interview questions. We will also discuss what questions you can ask that demonstrate why you would be the perfect fit for a specific opportunity. Finally, learners will be able to recognize “challenge stimuli” that interviewers inject into the interview equation and gain insight into how to handle these pressure-packed “what if” scenarios.
This course is as part of SWE's Job Seeking for Engineers web series.
