Preparing for an American Interview:
You'll learn:
- How to take charge of an interview by phone, SKYPE or in person.
- The importance of body language in the American job interview (firm handshake, smiling, eye contact).
- How to sum yourself up in one sentence.
- The questions you should ask American companies to impress them and to decide if you really want to work there.
How to Get Along in the American Job Office
You’ll learn:
- Not to correct or look smarter than your boss.
- When you can be informal; when you should be formal.
- How and when to ask for a raise.
- When--and when not to--become involved in office politics.
