HOW TO ANSWER THE MOST COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTION
"TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF"
If you’re like most folks, “tell me about yourself” may bring up fears of not knowing what to say, saying too much, or not even wanting to talk about yourself. Join us as we teach you the tips and strategies to feel comfortable talking about yourself and starting off an interview the right way. Presented by Cori Conner, Job Prep Services Specialist, Leeward Community College. This event will not be recorded and thus no replays will be available afterward.

Whether you are starting off or switching careers, learn how to make informed career decisions using LMI. View job projection numbers including the number of job openings and salary information for your career of interest. Most importantly, see who’s hiring now and what skills they’re looking for through job posting analytics. Presented by Giovanni Villa, Research Statistician, State of Hawaiʻi Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR). This event will not be recorded and thus no replays will be available afterward.

Featured industries include: Environmental, Healthcare, Finance, Non-Profit, Public Service, Tech, and more. Check out the schedule or learn more about each organization. Info sessions will not be recorded and thus no replays will be available afterward.
