Do you struggle with job interviews? You are not alone. Every day, talented, experienced, and educated professionals are missing out on their dream jobs because they fail to present themselves well during the interview. Fortunately, you can learn how to ace interviews without going crazy.

Modern interviews have changed drastically in the last 10 years. As companies try to be more diligent about hiring the right people, they ask questions that demand rigorous answers. Behavioral interviews stretch job seekers to think of complex answers that relate to past experiences while still hitting all the components of the questions. Even typical questions like “Tell me about yourself” or “What is your greatest weakness” require honest and insightful answers.

While interviewing is serious business, I promise this class is not the stale or boring lecture that you might expect from a typical business class. We are going to have some fun to help drive home these points, keeping you engaged and entertained while learning crucial interviewing skills.

With over 40 videos, multiple exercises, and additional downloadable content, you will be able to sink your teeth into the material right away and apply it to your life. I will help you get to the truth about what makes you an awesome candidate and how to express that during the interview process.
