Interview Skills and Confidence Building

LisaMeagan

Virtual and Zoom Interview Preparation

Preparation builds confidence. Come away with earned confidence and a competitive edge.

When you finally get a video or personal interview, the job is yours to lose.  I share expertise gathered from more than 20-years of recruiting and hiring hundreds of individuals for Fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola, Florida Progress, and Verizon.

I offer insights from the perspective of the person who has made hundreds of hiring and firing decisions. Currently, as an executive coach at BetterUp.co,  I work with decision-makers throughout the country. This exposure gives me continued insight and knowledge about selection and retention processes.
