Interview Task Force

 
The Fort Worth Career Search Network Interviewing Task Force is a volunteer group that assists job seekers to enhance their interviewing skills and gain confidence. See what you can expect from this experience.
 
Initially, the Task Force has established procedures for job seekers who would like to schedule practice interviews. There are also established procedures for the interviewers.
 
 
There are over a dozen Human Resource professionals currently volunteering to conduct interview for job seekers and who will provide feedback after the interview is conducted.  Those seeking assistance should check out the information on the volunteer Interviewers, and email a volunteer requesting to schedule an interview.  The email must contain telephone contact information as the volunteer will try to call the job seeker within 24 hours of receipt of the email
 
 
As an ongoing service, the Task Force provides the Question of The Week each Monday morning and the information may be accessed by clicking  Questions.

 

We also include a survey so you can tell us about your interview experience.
