How to Prepare for an Interview Workshop, November 15!

Interviewing takes practice -- and interviews do not need to be perfect. You will say "um” at certain points. You will get caught off-guard by an unexpected interview question and will need some time to think through how to best answer it. You may need to ask the interviewer to repeat a question because you want to make sure you understood it correctly. These scenarios are okay! We are human. The key is to be prepared and be yourself throughout the interview process.
