Preparation for Career Related Interviews (Selling Yourself)

Length: 2 days
Target Audience: All employees, sworn and non-sworn

The Career and Panel Interview Skills Training workshop immerses attendees into both the interviewee and assessor experience. Activities are supported with coaching and are designed to assist employees of all positions by focusing on the attendees’ ability to articulate their individual skills, experiences, and related qualifications, and to represent their position “fit” under actual interview stress. Additionally, attendees will have the opportunity to learn effective interview strategies by evaluating others—an insight often only enjoyed by agency selection panels.
