Job Seekers' Round Table: Dealing with Difficult Discussions

Interviewing for work is a tough business. Some of the pitfalls for not winning over the selection panel or HR reps are real, while others may be our imagination getting the best of us.

We have to ask good questions based on what we know about the workplace, and meet their questions with concise and thoughtful answers.

All the while remembering to curb enthusiasm, anxiety, and to never appear too hungry.

This Friday (4/24) brings us author, Compassionate Communication Trainer, and life coach, Moreah Vestan discussing Dealing with Difficult Discussions. Among the workshop topics we'll learn to apply to interviewing:

• How to connect at interviews or when you fill out an application
• How to deal with disappointment and frustration over job hunting
• How to manage difficult interactions with family, friends, at work, etc.

Moreah brings 11 years’ experience in communication training, and has much wisdom to share about maximizing your impact at the interview. There are also tips on choosing how to react, which benefits not only the interview process, but every area of your job search.

Not to be missed! Also the usual great coffee and other delights, compliments of Central Market.
