Session Three: Beyond the Resume - Closing the Deal on Your Next Career
October 20th – 9 am – noon, Schiff Conference Center (Cintas Center)
So, you have submitted your resume and successfully landed an interview. Now what? Job seekers often spend an insane amount of time in preparing their resume, cover letter and submitting applications - only to move into the interview less prepared than they should be! Resumes pique the interest of a recruiter, but interviews close the deal. This interactive session is designed to offer an overview of the types of interviews you may encounter - phone interviews, traditional, behavior based, case study and more. Beyond the basics, learn tangible tips to master the interview process so that you make the best impression possible - while also gathering valuable insight on the organization to decide if it is the company and opportunity for you! Beyond the interview, this session will also discuss what to do when you get the job offer. Learn tools necessary to evaluate each offer with confidence. While salary is a factor, there are many other considerations when evaluating if an opportunity is for you - learn how to prioritize these for yourself. Discussion will also take place on the basics of negotiating, how to professionally accept/decline an offer and how to handle and compare multiple offers.
