Job Interview Etiquette
How to nail the interview, get the job, and launch your career
Course Details
You got the phone call you've been waiting for. The HR department at your dream job wants to meet you. But now comes the hard part -- the interview. How early should you arrive? How do you dress? Should you show off your chic fashion sense or stick with a suit? Just how do you answer that trick question of "what is your biggest weakness?" If you're dying to make it in publishing, then it's time to learn to walk the walk. This seminar is a beginner's guide to looking and acting the part, even if it's your first job. You'll learn nearly everything you need to guarantee a stellar performance on your interview. We'll focus on job-getting tips such as what to wear, what to say, and how to say it. (And, of course, what not to do, say, or wear.)

She taught the ins and outs of how to get your work into magazines and showed that there is hope in getting your work published. -- Nicole Yanolatos"You do not want to miss a class taught by Sophie. She's an expert in her field, and an absolute delight to listen to and learn from. I picked up so many useful tips and ideas and couldn't stop raving about it." -- Shyema Azam "I came into Sophie's class knowing nothing about it and have since had one piece published and one more on the way. The class was filled with practical tips on exactly what to do. It was worth it!" -- Susie Schnall "Sophie is engaging and insightful in teaching writers how to think of, write, and pitch stories that will get published. We were a diverse bunch in terms of writing experience, but each of us walked away with something ready to submit to an editor. Sophie was able to tailor her teaching to benefit each of us." -- Caroline Brennan "This class helped me understand the business of freelance writing, from coming up with ideas to picking which publications a story belongs in and pitching in a professional way. Sophie is very approachable and shared a lot of important information with our class." -- Kathryn Molinaro "Sophie is bright and energetic. There was never a dull moment in the class. She had every week properly planned out for us so that we not only workshopped our writing, but covered new ground in terms of the art, craft, and business of writing." -- Lila Yomtoob "Sophie is a great instructor and is more than willing to pass along all of her knowledge to her students. I would definitely take a class with her again." -- Crystal Patenaude |
