Preparing for Behavioral Interviews: Be the Last Candidate Standing

Speaker: Miguel Aguayo

The career counselling profession, as an industry, churns out tons and tons of books, websites, and articles related to how to plan and launch a job search. The number of voices speaking on this topic makes it easy for job seekers to be confused because much of the existing materials seem contradictory. Worse yet, the party that sets the rules that job hunters must follow, the employer, is usually from discourse on job search preparation. This presentation, by Miguel Aguayo, Senior Human Resources Consultant, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), will provide insight, from the source, on what jobs seekers must do in order to get an interview and prepare for it when they sit across the interview table.
