What Students Are Saying:
While I have been in mid to senior level leadership for several years, this was a good review for me, especially as an interviewee who will likely be looking for a new role soon. This is a GREAT online course for anyone who has had little experience interviewing, as there is little to no "how to interview" courses in college.
-Rhonda B.
Answered a lot of questions I didn't know how to answer or prepare for. Brought up topics or things I didn't even think about.
