Skill Development Seminar Response

We recently hosted a seminar about job interviewing, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. One attendee shared the following. As a reminder, you can tune into any of our previous seminars by accessing Ergon's YouTube channel (links below)
“The 'Back to Basics - Interview for Jobs' seminar was positive, informative, constructive and featured classic approaches to help with pre-interview, during, and after interview, job search and writing skills. A strategy that keeps you on your toes and motivated every step of the process! I was very inspired by the training consultant and can tell Ms. Rooney really cared about sharing good content to support proactive and confident outcomes. She even offered social etiquette advice on certain accepted behaviors in all social situations and when initially meeting new acquaintances. If you are new to a certain industry or attempting to land a high-level corporate appointment, highly recommend this refreshing seminar. I really appreciate the help. Thank you and best wishes to everyone!” - Carol B.
