Partaking in mock interviews help you understand what employers are looking for in their candidates, as well as your ability to articulate what you bring to the table! They also reveal your strengths, and areas you need to continue practicing. This session, with the help of Nepris, will provide you with a mock interview experience!
Practice interviewing, and gain skills and confidence with human resources mock interview panelists!

Branding yourself through resumes, cover letters, and interviews!
|
Interviewing is more than questions and answers. It's your opportunity to show employers what you can offer their organizations, and to also convince them that you will deliver the services they need!
To that end, you need to market yourself as a responsible, trustworthy, and skillful employee and the best way to do that is to create an image or "brand" of yourself that appeals to potential employers. This session will show you how!
