Reminder – Fall Public Practice Recruit interview workshop on Monday, August 30th, 4:45 pm and coaching appointments available into September

As a reminder, we will be holding an interviews workshop for Fall Public Practice Recruit (PPR) on Monday, August 30th, 4:45 pm PT.

As firms respond to your applications and invite you to interview with them, you will need to be ready for any and every eventuality. Whether the interview is by phone, video recording, live video, individual, panel, conversational, structured or second level you can learn strategies to perform well. Also, learn how to plan to meet recruiting staff, managers and partners which are all possible during the process of interviewing during the PPR process. Learn how to prepare for and make the best of each opportunity by understanding what firms are expecting and how to prepare your responses in an impacting way. Then, discover how to leave a lasting impression with your own prepared questions and a closing that will raise their attraction to you for another level of interviewing or compel them to make you an offer.

Registration for this workshop is now open on COOL.

Career coaching appointments with DAP career coach, Russell Garrett, are available on various dates over the next few weeks into September. Registration for these appointments is now open on COOL (select the Coaching Appointment link from the left to get started).
