Brown Bag Lunch Seminar (YYC): Effective Job Interviewing

Make your lunch hour truly powerful! Bring your lunch and attend an hour-long “brown bag” seminar, presented by CPA Alberta Career Services. Each month we cover a different career development topic. Join us February 23, 2017 for Effective Job Interviewing. The event is free, and open to designated CPA members.

Overview:

If your resume is strong and you're networking aggressively, you may be getting interviews, but the effort is wasted if you fall short in your face-to-face meetings. For many, interviews are stressful as you're selling yourself and your skillset, trying to read the interviewers' intent, dealing with unexpected questions, and probing with your own queries about the company and job, all on the fly while every nuance of your words and body language is judged, often by more than one person. No pressure there!

This seminar aims to reduce some of this pressure with strategies, tools and best practices for before, during and after the interview. In the session, you'll learn about:

• Preparing effectively for interviews,
  
• Answering behavioural interview questions,
  
• Finding out if the role is right for you, and
  
• Following up after a meeting.

In this competitive job market, you need to shine in all areas. The interview is your chance to set yourself apart as the best candidate for the job. This seminar will help you do that.
