Monthly Meeting
The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: How to Stop Sabotaging Your Interviews by John Hadley
Saturday July 11th, at 9:30 AM
Please share this with other groups you may be in. Join us on Meetup.com at: http://www.meetup.com/The-Breakfast-Club-NJ/ to RSVP for the meeting.
Presentation:
Many talented professionals sabotage their interviews without realizing it. Sometimes it’s obvious — weak preparation, rambling answers, or failing to connect with the interviewer. More often, it’s subtle: playing defense instead of offense, talking about responsibilities instead of impact, missing opportunities to build rapport, or failing to uncover the deeper business challenges behind the role.
In this engaging and occasionally tongue-in-cheek workshop, Job Search Strategist John Hadley will reveal the hidden habits that quietly undermine otherwise strong candidates — and show you how to replace them with behaviors that build confidence, credibility, and connection. You’ll learn how to turn interviews from stressful Q&A sessions into meaningful business conversations that position you as the candidate they don’t want to lose.
