Gardiner Centre & Embark present: Art of Professional Presence - AM Session:
When communicating with a prospective employer, you convey a distinctive presence that can shape the employer's perception of your professional suitability as a candidate. This is called your professional presence - and it can either showcase your skills or minimize them. This session will provide insights and best practices to help you showcase your best professional presence. Participants will practice essential presentation skills and master delivering a compelling 'pitch' to potential employers.
