Workshop 5, How to: Ace your job interview:

The pressure to make a great first impression has never been so high, with many hiring managers stating they knew they had found the right candidate in the first few minutes of an interview.

Learn how to:

  • Prepare for your interview – know what to do before, during and after
  • Answer common interview questions and respond to behavioural questions using the STAR technique
  • Manage your nerves and make a lasting impression

This workshop is recognised by Jobs off Campus and UOWx.
