This workshop describes the core skills that employers and graduate admissions screen for when evaluating colleges students. Students will learn about their competencies during this workshop. Additionally, students will get the opportunity to set goals on how to strengthen certain skills and capitalize on the competencies they are strongest in.
Master the stressful interview process by learning how to answer tough questions with a relevant story. Students can use the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method to answer questions like “how do you deal with conflict,” “what’s your favorite course,” "tell about a time you led a team" and more. In this workshop students practice sharing readiness competencies, technical degree knowledge and even job experiences using this STAR formula. Students will have a chance to communicate their skills in this interview style workshop.
If you are looking for another type of presentation, Career Success also offers tailored presentations for topics including, but not limited to Mock Interview Sessions, Resume and Cover Letter Clinics, Tools and Strategies for Getting Started with Career Development, and LinkedIn Profile Reviews.
