About this Event
Have you ever recorded yourself answering an interview question and watched it back? Most people have not, and it is the fastest way to find out what an interviewer actually experiences.
This session is practice, not theory. You will answer real questions, get feedback in the room, and learn the structure that keeps a good answer from turning into a five-minute ramble.
Join Samantha Cook, Comm Lead alum and former Amazon and Microsoft leader, now a career coach, to work on:
✅ The STAR method, and how to use it without sounding rehearsed
✅ How to answer the hard ones about failure, gaps, and being underqualified
✅ How to stop rambling, underselling, and over explaining
✅ Three questions to ask that put you ahead of the next candidate
Come ready to speak. You will practice out loud in a room that is on your side.
