Great face-to-face job interviews, phone screens and Zoom calls require sound preparation and an understanding of what's important to the person conducting the interview. It also requires your ability to convey confidence, subject matter expertise and the art of storytelling. There are a lot of things that job seekers can do to make them a preferred candidate and this webinar will cover several of them. Here are a few questions that a lot of candidates continually ask about job interviews:
