Breaking Down the Fit Question

By Karen Kelsky | February 14, 2020

Today is another breakdown of a point of continued confusion among our Interview clients: the dreaded FIT question. Once again, I will walk you through a post that we assign for Interview Intervention clients, that clients struggle to put into practice. In this case: The Dreaded Fit Question Comes First, by Kel Weinhold.

Just like last week, when I broke down how to describe a course in an interview, I will dig into the places we see our clients fall into misunderstandings, and offer you ways to correct them.

    The link to the video seems to be broken (at least I cannot open it). Could you please double-check to see if it works?
