Some of what you'll learn...

  • The value of preparation

    • Research the company, including who you're meeting with. Practice mock interviews (if you can) and prepare answers to common questions in advance.

  • Relaxation techniques work

    • Deep breathing, positive visualization, and muscle relaxation can help calm nerves before and during interviews. You don't need to be an expert and it only takes a few minutes to learn how.

  • Body language tells a story

    • Power posing and maintaining good posture can reduce stress and increase feelings of confidence, influencing how the interviewer thinks about you.
