Orland Twp. to Host Interviewing Workshop

Orland Township, 14807 S. Ravinia Ave., is hosting an interviewing workshop on Tuesday, April 12, from 4-6 p.m. Advanced registration is required.
 
The two-hour session will cover the following topics: the anatomy of an interview, five common types of interviews, tips for the behavioral interview, body image and language, answering difficult questions and assessing skills and traits using power adjectives.
 
The interviewing workshop is Supervisor Paul O’Grady and the Board of Trustee’s latest development in programming and it is intended to assist residents in the midst of a more competitive job market. The workshop has been preceded by two job fairs, a resume building session and one-on-one meetings, all of which have been heavily attended by local job seekers.
 
“With each job-related event that Orland Township has hosted, residents in need have been receptive and have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to them,” O’Grady said. “This is why we continue to expand our services. If residents find value in a certain program, we do our best to improve and add to the offerings.”
 
The workshop will be led by Purdue University Calumet professor Dr. Casey Barczyk who has taught classes such as Human Resource Management and Human Resource Planning, Selection and Placement, adding to his knowledge of what hiring agents look for and want to see during the hiring process. He has also written articles in various business journals and has participated in conferences pertaining to Human Resources, hiring procedures and related subjects.
