Are You Stressed Out About a Big Interview Coming Up? Or are you thinking of starting your job search soon, and want to get a refresher?
Interviewing for a job can be stressful, especially since most of us do it infrequently, and few people ever become very good at it. If you look online, there’s a lot of conflicting advice out there.

Japan Society Young Professional’s Group is hosting a panel of experts to give real and relevant advice on how to handle difficult situations in an interview. We are bringing together seasoned recruiters and hiring managers to talk about interviews. There will also be time at the end for audience questions.
We are grateful to announce that this event is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Applift.
Please join us at 7 pm on September 20, 2017, at Applift’s Office in San Francisco. The venue is a secure building, and so you will have to call up via the intercom for admission. Please dial “400” on the call box to be let in. Snacks and beer will be served.
