Think of an interview as a chance to market yourself-it's all about being prepared with the right info and knowing how to close. Anticipating questions and sharing clear, impactful responses will make you more effective. We will work in an interactive workshop to learn the FAB (Features, Accomplishments, Benefits) method that incorporates a behavioral interview technique called STAR (Situation, Task, Action Results), a game-changer for interview prep. The FAB with STAR stories is a powerful way to help you "show, not tell." Solid prep means you'll feel more confident, provide stronger answers, and have better conversations. Don't forget to identify and overcome any objections with key closing questions.

Starting with raw steel, each person will use fire, hammer, and anvil to forge a wrought iron custom piece to take home
"It's gonna be empowering. It's gonna be dirty. It's gonna be totally new. Don’t worry, it's nothing you can't handle."
No experience required, just a bit of strength for pounding and twisting the steel; hand-eye coordination always helps

What to Wear:

Closed-toe shoes/boots (sneakers are prefect): ABSOLUTELY NO SANDALS/HEELS
Jeans or shorts
Any cotton tee-shirt or long-sleeve shirt
Sweatshirt
Avoid synthetics when possible
Safety gear including glasses, gloves, and aprons will be provided
Bring a water bottle.
