Hi Class,

I wanted to first state that I thoroughly enjoyed the expert session featuring Annie and Tiffany. I definitely got the vibe that they are experts in their respective fields who are looking to help others by sharing their knowledge, experiences and time. I know they must be busy so I wanted to thank them for the time they took to share those tips. I ended up taking 3 pages of notes!

My biggest takeaway from the live session was the time Tiffany spent on best practices and recommendations for conducting yourself in an interview. Not only were the tips great but she also spent time on the balance you want to strike in an interview. How you want to be well prepared yet leave room for your authentic self to show and not come off as a robot. Be Professional yet approachable. This is an interesting dichotomy that is not touched on as much as I would like in my previous education on this. But it really speaks to how the modern company these days operates. They want to know you can be successful at the job yet also fit into the company culture and team.

Two other tips that I definitely will notate for future possible interviews was that “First 4 bullets of job description are the most important requirements” and prepping myself to think of 3 situations I can fully explain and take my audience through should I be asked situational questions.
