Presentation:
In placing over 1,200 business professionals over the last 28 years, Jim Ashworth has conducted and documented over 5,000 interview follow-ups.  Very simply, he has learned that there are four areas of an interview that will determine which of typically 3-5 candidates will get hired.

In Part 1 of this two-part program, Jim will be covering the first two areas:  “Reasons for leaving previous positions” and “Tell me about yourself/why don’t you go over your resume.”  He will explain why traditional answers don’t work and how to more effectively handle these questions.  Jim plans to conduct multiple role plays on both these areas attendees can experience the differences and more positive outcomes.

Learning Objectives:
- How to best answer “Reasons for laving previous positions”
- How to answer “Tell me about yourself/why don't you go over your resume?”
- Jim will role play with participants to equip them on best practices.
