ARE
YOU GIVING YOUR STUDENTS THAT COMPETITIVE
EDGE?
|
Try Answering These Four Questions To Find
Out!
- When your students are told that a
company has a "business casual" dress code, what
do they wear to the interviews?
- When recruiters invite your students to
lunch or dinner interviews, how are they
representing themselves and your
institution?
- What do your students do when they have
left two voice-mail messages for interviewers
and have not received call-backs?
- How do your students keep their
interviewer-relationships when they learn other
candidates have been offered the positions they
wanted?
Assist Your Students in
Outclassing Their Competition
Through These Programs:
|
GAINING THAT
COMPETITIVE EDGE DURING BUSINESS
MEALS
|
|
This entertaining and informative "hands-on"
program emphasizes that business meals are for
establishing rapport with recruiters first -- and
then for eating! It covers napkin etiquette, the
art of eating bread and rolls, the American,
European and "No" dining style differences, how to
handle difficult-to-eat foods and when to begin
talking business during a meal.

KEY WAYS FOR
MAKING A POWERFUL FIRST
IMPRESSION
|
|
This program teaches the four ways for making a
powerful first impression, what to wear to an
interview when a company has a business casual
code, the importance of follow-up and the art of
business correspondence. It also gives "life after
the interview" tips which will assist your students
in staying motivated until they land that job or
internship of their choice!
Ann Marie Sabath, author of BUSINESS
ETIQUETTE IN BRIEF and 101 WAYS TO
CONDUCT BUSINESS WITH CHARM AND SAVVY and
recent guest on 20/20, CNN, and CNBC and The Oprah
Winfrey Show will assist your team in gaining that
