Job Seekers Roundtable Fri., April 3 from 1-2:30 p.m. – How To Sell Your Brand in Silence

job seekers roundtableBe sure to tell your students about the Job Seekers Roundtable series, that’s all about giving students an edge in interviews.

This Friday’s Rountable is all about what you don’t say in the interview. The content of what you say in response to questions (and the content of questions you ask) is obviously exceedingly important in a job interview. What is less well known is the importance of the part of the interview that isn’t spoken – the way you present yourself and behave non-verbally.

Shoreline’s own Professor of Psychology Diana Knauf, will present tips on “selling your brand in silence.” As always top notch coffee and treats will be on hand, courtesy of Central Market.

This FREE event takes place Fri., April 3 in FOSS (5000 bldg.), room 5116 from 1-2:30 p.m. Job Seekers Rountables are sponsored by Shoreline’s Plus 50 program, but all are welcome to attend. We hope to see you there!
