The Interview Prep Bootcamp is an interview prep workshop that gives women returning to the workforce an opportunity to practice their interviewing skills. They will be given exposure to the most common interview questions asked in interviews and behavioral questions. Participants will also receive guidance on how to answer these questions. What exactly is a good answer? Why are they asking me this question? What do they want to know? How should I answer this when I have a career gap? Many times, candidates leave an interview with more questions than they are actually asked. Here’s your opportunity to ask, learn more about and receive guidance on interviewing. 

The 90-minute workshop will meet weekly on Fridays at 7 PM (PST) for 4 weeks (Feb 19 - March 12, 2021). There will be an office hour (optional) on Mar 19. Join the Interview Prep Bootcamp and conquer your fear of interviewing.
