Tip of the Week: Before Your Interview

Yes, the interview process is necessary.  No, your resume by itself is not sufficient to “sell” an employer on your qualifications.  And no, networking alone will typically not eliminate the need for at least an informal interview or discussion.

So with that being said, preparing yourself to excel during an interview is critical to you getting the job.  There is no need to be nervous or fear, answers are here!  It’s just like preparing for an exam—the more you properly prepare, the better outcome you will receive.

PMP Certification Training, Lombard, 2008

I was laid off for many months and not really getting many callbacks for my resume and no job offers. After I put the letters PMP on it, not only did I see an increase in quantity, but also quality of interviews. I had been spinning my wheels for 5 months, and after the PMP went on, I had 2 job offers in 6 weeks. It really was the "golden ticket"

Microtrain presents the course material in an interesting and concise manner. Microtrain gives the student all the resources necessary to pass the certification exams. Both the Chicago and Lombard facilities were excellent, and the staff goes to any length to accommodate any student changes.

Student Employment Success - Project/Process Manager

My Career Services Manager was very friendly and helpful and had excellent follow-up. She seemed to really care how things were going and kept me moving in the right direction. The resources available in job search were great and the visibility that there were jobs out there looking for my skillset was promising. Additionally, the training, as well as having an updated resume stating the Microtrain course work I had taken made me feel more confident and marketable as I looked for employment. It showed that I was dedicated and took project management and process management seriously.
