Hub Workshop: Application and Interview Prep

Did you know that recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds to scan a résumé? Did you also know that the most popular interview technique used by HR Professionals, according to LinkedIn, is structured interviews (74%), followed by behavioral interviews (73%), phone screening (57%), and panel interviews (48%)?

Join a Hub coach for an hour-long interactive exploration of these topics. Learn what steps you can take to get recruiters to review your application for longer and also learn how to prepare for interviews so that you can anticipate questions and ultimately, leave a lasting impression on potential employers.
