Interviewing can be daunting, especially when you are competing against many other talented job-seekers. Did you know that most hiring decisions are made based on non-technical abilities and skills? And did you know that a few basic strategies can greatly affect the number of 'yes' responses you receive? Jeffrey Eliasen will share strategies and guidelines for improving your odds of receiving from each and every interview you attend.

KTSC & IFTTJYW was interesting and informative. I didn't know about Coursera. It was good to hear a hiring manager's perspective on what he looks for in a prospective employee. I also got to meet some interesting people and hear about what they're doing and where they see technology heading.

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
