Details

During an interview, you need to be confident, articulate, and able to quickly think on your feet. Luckily, these are skills that you can practice in advance. This interactive workshop will help you flex the improvisation muscles you need to succeed. Please come ready to turn on your camera and mic as we explore various techniques through fun exercises. Learn how to be an active listener, keep the dialogue going, and impress any interviewer. This workshop is helpful for preparation in both academic and non-academic interview settings.
