Interviewing for upper level candidates is topic of Nov. 8 Master’s Connection
From Graduate Business Career Services, Opus College of Business
The next Master's Connection networking breakfast will be held from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, in Room 201, Opus Hall, Minneapolis campus. George Dow, vice president of management consulting and an executive coach at Right Management Consultants, will share insight on "The Executive Perspective: Interviewing and Negotiating Strategies for Upper Level Positions."
Learn the eight ways executive job candidates are judged during the interviewing process and how to optimize your effectiveness in each of these areas: preparation, ability, motivation, fit, integrity, sponsorship, attitude and competitiveness. Dow also will break the interviewing process down to its five critical phases and discuss the three biggest factors in the negotiation process. Finally, you'll learn how the senior management interviewing and negotiating process is distinct, and in what ways it is similar to interviews from earlier in one's career.
All current graduate business students and alumni are welcome.
