Saturday, March 17th, from 8:30 - 11:00 am: The Career Support Group at St. Gregory the Great will host: John Hadley, a Career Search Counselor, who will give a presentation titled: The Interview as a Needs Assessment. If you engage your interviewers, and have good answers to their questions, will you get the offer? Maybe. To really seal the deal, you need to treat the interview as your chance to conduct a thorough needs assessment. This does not mean just asking about their needs and then selling yourself appropriately. You cannot simply accept surface descriptions of what they are seeking and why. And selling too soon sends the wrong signals, often in taking the conversation in an unproductive direction. An effective needs assessment dramatically increases your chances of not just getting the offer, but getting the best offer. And when you get into the interviewer’s head and find out what the true drivers are, you are positioned to show them just how much it is costing NOT to hire you. A side benefit is that in uncovering the deep underlying issues they face, you will find out if they are even ones you WANT to get involved with. Please feel free to forward this note to anyone that you think would benefit from joining us. Or, better yet, just bring them with you. The group meets the 3rd Saturday of the month.
