Interview Skills Workshop
Do you get stumped during interviews? Do you know how to really prepare great answers without droning on and on and on...?
This week at KKG we'll review how we should answer the most popular interview questions, and how to deal with the unexpected ones. Then, since practice makes perfect, we'll break into groups and interview each other, providing a great opportunity to exercise our interviewing skills in a friendly environment.
- Coming soon: Entrepreneurship Panel II, KKG After Dark and more
Please note that our members are typically not interested in direct selling or network marketing opportunities.
EMPLOYERS: would you like to present to our group about opportunities at your company?
We reserve one meeting per month for those who are interested in connecting with our motivated, well-trained and energetic job-seekers.
