The Get Hired Series is an excellent way to prepare yourself professionally for the interview process, especially if this is your first time going through it and unsure about the hiring process. Every board and experience can be different, and being able to speak with other going through the process and those who have experienced it already is a great way to get first hand experience and feel you have a support team to back you up! Through live feedback, question and answer, and the practical advice and tips Jen and Dan provide, the Get Hired Series will help you prepare to be your best self in the interview. I highly recommend this series.

The “Get Hired” webinar series for educational assistants is so important for those of us who are new to the industry. I can’t say enough good about it. I found it extremely helpful and it made all the difference in my last interview.
