How to Kill Every Interview

And How Smart Candidates Kill Their Chances Without Realizing It

Thursday, February 5 

Ever walk out of an interview thinking, “That went pretty well…” — only to be met with silence, a polite rejection, or no explanation at all?

You didn’t blow the interview.

You likely killed your chances in ways that felt reasonable, professional — maybe even smart at the time.

In this tongue-in-cheek but highly practical workshop, Job Search Strategist John Hadley (www.JHACareers.com) flips traditional interview advice on its head. By starting with the obvious (and not-so-obvious) ways candidates sabotage interviews, he reveals the deeper traps that trip up capable, experienced professionals — and what to do instead.

If you’re tired of interviews that seem to go well but lead nowhere, this session can help you turn that around.
