ASPIRE Up: Telling Your Story – Preparing for Your Interview
Thursday, March 6
1:00-3:00pm
Virtual (Zoom link provided at registration)
ASPIRE once again will be hosting Lauren Celano, CEO and Co-founder of Propel Careers for a virtual webinar!
This interactive webinar is focused on providing advice to help you tell your story so that you can effectively engage with your interviewer and convey your experiences, skills, and relevancies for the opportunity(ies) you are interviewing for. We will cover ways to highlight your hard and soft skills in your responses so that the interviewer can see the various ways you could impact the organization. We will provide examples that can be tailored for various career paths and also for various types of organizations including large and small organizations, entrepreneurial as well as established organizations and service organizations such as consulting firms. These stories can also be used in other scenarios such as networking and informational interviewing, making this workshop beneficial for you as you navigate your career journey.
We will cover interview questions such as these below in the webinar so that people can help to develop their stories (people will be able to pick a few to answer):
- What excites you about this opportunity?
- Tell me about a time when you learned from a mistake?
- How do you deal with conflict?
- If you could go back and start one of your projects from scratch (knowing what you know now), what would you change?
- Tell me a time when you managed a project or process? What worked well and what would you change?
- What has been the hardest problem you solved in your research and how did you overcome this?
- How did you build rapport with someone with a different background than yours?
- Have you ever had to motivate others? Tell me about such an experience.
- How have you contributed positively to the culture of your group/dept/team/org?
