The Newbury Town Library is pleased to welcome career consultant, Gary Gekow, for two online programs: Interview Preparation (March 16th) and Interview Workshop (March 23). It is not necessary to participate in part 1 in order to participate in part 2.

Often the most common question that begins an interview is, “Tell me about yourself.” Job applicants should welcome this question with open arms as it gives them a beautiful chance to talk about themselves in the most positive light. The concern for most people is that it is too big a canvas. The question is very general and most people don’t know where to start, what to include, and when to end their answer. This is a critical part of the interview because it is often the very first question that is asked and sets the stage for the remainder of the interview. In this workshop, we will discuss best practices as it relates to what to say, what examples to highlight, where to begin, and when/where to end to make it a compelling story. This highly interactive workshop will leave you with a new-found confidence about how to talk about yourself.

Register HERE. 

Registration for Interview Workshop closes at 10am the morning of class, after which you will receive a Zoom link to attend.
