This free talk gives participants key tips on interviewing:  what to do, how to prepare, traps to avoid, and how to come across as the best candidate. Whether you're in transition or are hoping to find a better job, learning to interview well is one of the key steps to landing your next opportunity. We'll cover common challenges, preparation tips, how to get yourself out
of a tight corner, why asking questions is critical, the physical side of
interviewing (handshake, posture, gestures, eye contact and voice), and
wrap up with an overview. Please join us for this highly interactive talk that
will help you ace your next interview.

Jean Baur has worked for 20 years as a career coach in the outplacement
industry and has written two books published by major career presses: 
"Eliminated! Now What?" and "The Essential Job Interview Handbook."
This book is now being used as a text book at Mitchell College. She is
the member of the National Speakers Association and has earned the
highest credential as a career counselor.  Copies of Jean's two books
