Career Centers Learn About Interviewing Skills
On Friday, December 16th, representatives from the Amerigroup Insurance Company held educational presentations for our participants. The presentations were designed to educate individuals on job interview skills, which included tips about the importance of eye contact, body language, and being on time. Some participants came to the activity "dressed for success". They wore formal attire that would be appropriate for a real job interview. The day went very well and the presentations were very interactive, inclusive, and informative. Thank you to Amerigroup for this opportunity.
