Fairfield, Conn. - Many times candidates feel like they don't have anything to say in a job interview, or are overwhelmed by looking at a shopping list of questions they might be asked. It can be difficult to understand how experiences that seem insignificant to you can be crucial to an employer's hiring decision. Career coach Melanie Szlucha developed the TODAY acronym to help candidates focus their preparation on specific examples from their career and volunteer work that align with the needs of the employer. Find out about TODAY as well as the finer points of an interview such as establishing rapport, avoiding the Walk of Silence from the reception desk to the interview, negotiating the offer, and preparing for the five questions that will always be asked. Head to Fairfield's Main Library on Thursday, May 10 at 7:00pm, to the Memorial Room, 1080 Old Post Road. Registration is requested.
