You are invited to an interview. The potential employer likes you (based on your resume). The potential employer wants to get to know more about you, your skills and experiences. Telling your stories by highlighting your experiences, lessons learned and how you have grown and developed from these experiences can be a compelling and effective strategy to convey your knowledge, competencies and skills to the potential employer. Dino will share how to tell your stories for greater impact in interviews.
