Acing your Interview: Answering with Confidence
Join us for an insightful online event where Lauren Celano, CEO of Propel Careers, will share valuable tips on how to ace your interview and answer with confidence. This presentation will focus on the life sciences sector, but the information shared can apply to other sectors.
This talk provides advice for how to succeed during an interview and will cover different interview formats including phone/video, in person one-on-one and panel settings. This talk provides insight on what hiring managers, team members and HR look for when conducting interviews and how to develop responses using the STAR technique. Lauren will discuss how to prepare for skills based questions (i.e. tell me more about X Technical Experience) as well as “soft skills” questions (i.e. tell me how you work in a team, or how you show initiative). Lauren will provide insight on why companies use behavioral interviewing during the interview process. Lauren will cover research that a candidate can do to make sure they have relevant background information on the organization and interviewers and advice on what questions to ask during an interview.
