Title:
Interview-Profi
What for:
Do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Sometimes with a job the way is also simple as that. Encouraging SP participants to talk freely about their strengths and areas for development during an interview simulation is a great way for diminishing stress and preparing for the unknown and unexpected – HR specialists.
