"Ending Sweaty Palms & Awkward Answers -- a Better Way of Preparing for Job Interviews!"

Speaker: Melanie Szlucha

TOPIC

Many times candidates feel like they don't have anything to say in a job interview, or are overwhelmed by looking at a shopping list of questions they might be asked. It can be difficult to understand how experiences that seem insignificant to them can really be crucial to an employer's hiring decision, and then how to concisely structure answers to those questions.

Job interviews are simply about an employer getting to know a candidate beyond what they have read on a resume. I developed the TODAY acronym as a way for candidates to focus their preparation, and remember those experiences that will help them be seen as the ideal candidate for the job. When they walk into an interview armed with topics to discuss, they are naturally more confident and relaxed, which makes the employer in turn get a
better overall impression.

This course also covers the finer points of an interview such as establishing rapport, avoiding the Walk of Silence from the receptionist desk to the interview, negotiating the offer,
and preparing for the 5 questions they will ALWAYS be asked.

SPEAKER

MELANIE SZLUCHA: In her business, Red Inc , Melanie has coached numerous job seekers to become more confident and prepared during the interview process as well as written resumes that clearly convey a candidate's benefits to the company.

Melanie has over 15 years of experience as a hiring manager, and 5+ years as a job search coach. She has grown her business primarily through networking and word of mouth, and teaches clients to use those same skills to ramp up their search.

She has an undergraduate degree in Business and an MBA from St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY.
