Honors Student Success Workshops: Spring 2024

In this interactive seminary learn tips and tricks on how to give an interview that leaves an impression.

Getting interviews but no offers? Have a big interview coming up? Join Dan and Audri for an interactive mock job interview workshop.

We ask the most common, the most challenging, and the most unusual job interview questions ever! And you can answer in a low-risk, super-duper friendly workshop format led by people who have been on dozens of hiring committees in the last few years. Whether you’ve never interviewed or just want some additional feedback, we are here to help!

You might only have 10 seconds to catch the eye of a future employer - make it count!
Come learn what will help keep your resume and cover letter on the desk instead of in the trash can!

What are executive skills? I’m not a business major, so this isn’t for me. Wrong! We all have executive skills. Organization, task initiation, working memory, flexibility, and more. Take a diagnostic quiz and learn your strengths and weaknesses and discuss ways to improve your executive skills at the start of the semester!

This interactive workshop will help you identify strengths and weaknesses in the following areas:
--> getting started on a task
--> managing time
--> staying organized
--> maintaining flexibility in the face of obstacles
--> following through on goals
--> evaluating your progress and more!

The conversation continues with strategies for leveraging strengths and managing weaknesses. This workshop, led by Dan Gerth and Audri Adams, is open to all Honors College students!
