In this session, we will discuss:
- The different types of interviews (live phone/virtual, asynchronous, case, technical, etc) and quick tips to prepare for each. Overall, however, this workshop will focus on behavioral-based interviewing tips.
- What to know about an employer and the position before stepping foot into the interview or joining that Zoom call.
- How to think through and articulate your “power stories” - the stories you anticipate will come up in an interview and how to share that story in a way an outsider (i.e. the interviewer) will understand and appreciate.
- Additional ways to prepare for upcoming interviews.
