Teen Interview Prep Workshop
Preparing your teen for interviews is a pivotal step in their journey toward success. As parents, we can vividly recall our own initial interviews and the uncertainties we may have encountered. It’s not just about landing a job or internship—it’s about instilling confidence, effective communication skills, and the ability to make a lasting impression. Our Teen Interview Prep Workshop is tailored to provide participants with the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to excel in any interview scenario.
The Teen Interview Prep workshop is offered as a group lesson or as a private offering. Please visit our Contact page for a private session or view our Events Calendar for the group schedule.
Mastering the art of effective self-presentation and confident interview skills is a vital step towards securing a bright future, whether it be for college admission or a valuable summer internship. While interviews can be nerve-wracking, it’s important to remember that strong interviewing abilities are honed over time. The goal of this workshop is to help students prepare for an interview by teaching best practices as they navigate through the interview process before, during, and after the interview. We’ll emphasize the critical role of making a positive first impression and allocating ample time for pre-interview groundwork. Through this comprehensive preparation process, students will not only gain the confidence to face interviews head-on, but also the ability to anticipate what to expect, significantly enhancing their chances of success.
