three hours of instruction total
This workshop prepares students with the knowledge, experience (during role play), and confidence to interview effectively in both group and one-on-one interviews to overcome nervousness and anxiety. Students are guided through the process, compile their own interview prep deck and then particiapte in interview role play. We do not prepare children with canned responses, instead we help them identify and then verbalize strengths and interests.
Topics include:
- Preparation-how to effectively get ready for an interview-knowledge is empowering
- How to manage nervousness and anxiety during and in advance of the interview
- Identifying how we each want to come across during an interview and being sure we come across that way
- First impressions-body language, eye contact, facial gestures, shaking hands properly
- Introductions and small talk
- Grooming- appropriate attire and more
- Sharing- responding to questions effectively with the right amount of information
- Talking points- identifying interests/ passions to talk about that showcase the candidate
- Coming across as genuine and interested/active listening skills
- Responding to difficult questions
- Group interviews versus one-on-one
