			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of our ongoing “job search ministry”, The Church of St. Francis of Assisi will sponsor its third Interview Workshop:</p>
<p><strong>March 16, 2012<br />
</strong><strong>1 p.m. to 5 p.m.<br />
</strong><strong>St. Francis House<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This Workshop is designed to help you improve your skills and ultimately your performance during the interview.  Nobody likes to interview but the better prepared you are, the better your chances of success.  Do it now!</p>
<p>The Workshop will address the interview protocol, preparation for the interview questions and practice interviews which will prepare those who participate (volunteers) as well as observers.  The program will offer the forum to exchange ideas and concerns about interviewing, the ‘do’s and don’ts as well as the tough questions like, “How much money do you want?” and “What have you been doing since your last job?”</p>
<p>Those concerns and inhibitions you may have about the interview process will also be addressed.  Invest your time to develop a new confidence and self-assurance to achieve success the next time it is your turn.  Preparation is essential!</p>
<p><strong>This Workshop requires a reservation as space is limited.  Please call Frances McPartland for an appointment at 212 736 8500, Ext 357 and leave your name and phone number. </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>There is no cost to the participant other than placing your name ‘in the hat’ for a practice interview.  These will be used only if we do not have the volunteers.</p>
<p>The workshop leader will be Paul A. Frank who is a member of RENEW here at ST. Francis.  Paul is a retired executive with an extensive background in management and business development.  Now a consultant in the financial services industry, Paul is director of New Horizons, a ministry in support of people searching for new careers.</p>
