We live in a global society, where any company can attract and hire any person anywhere in the world. It’s not enough for you to have skills and competencies for a job, additionally; you have to be able to sell yourself. Selling yourself includes communicating to the interviewer WHY you are the best candidate for the job! Learn how to successfully prepare and answer the “why you” question in your next interview. It is critical you communicate that you are not only the ideal candidate for a job, but that you are a perfect fit for the organization. Jane Boutwell will teach you the following:
Know: WHY you are asked the “why you” question.
Research: Go beyond the job description, know the organization
Communicate: Mesh your skills & competencies with job & organization
Key: Non-verbal awareness

About Jane Boutwell:
I’m a coach.
And what I loved most about coaching, were the visible “ah ha” moments I observed on the faces of the athletes… like watching a player shoot a one handed lay-in for the first time or the crunch time, game winning basket!
As a communication coach, equally thrilling for me is when a self-described introvert successfully gives a presentation in public, AND, can imagine doing it again! Using communication fundamentals, I teach people how to be more effective communicators: by helping people overcome their fear of speaking in public, or providing tools to prepare for an elevator pitch, or simply making daily conversations more clear.
