Masterclass on how to ace your next online interview
We may have become used to having meetings with our colleagues over Zoom or Teams, but attending an interview online can be daunting for some – what to wear, what backdrop to have, how to manage distractions and technical difficulties, how to build rapport, and how to present yourself with clarity, confidence and conviction. We want to help you build your skills to perform your very best during these crucial conversations.
