Career Therapy Podcast e.99 - HOW TO ACE THE JOB INTERVIEW, with the Harare Institute Of Technology
On this week's Career Therapy Podcast (e.99), we’re proud to present a talk with the Harare Institute Of Technology (a University in Zimbabwe Southern Africa).
This talk premiered on Twitter Spaces this past week, and was presented to the students of the Harare Institute of Technology in Southern Africa. Rodney Mupanduki moderated the talk, which featured discussions about interview questions, storytelling, and how to tailor your CV/Resumé to fit the job you want. We also answer the taboo topic of lying on your resume.
