Whether you are the interviewer or the person being interviewed, there are many commonalities to what you do and say. In this course we discuss the more common interview situations found in the workplace and offer suggestions for handling each of these situations.
The process of interacting with other people is both an art and a science. The interview situation is no different, so wherever possible the advice we give will include some of the techniques used by those who are artful. Sometimes the information offered will cover pre-interview strategies, such as networking and resume writing.
We cover the interviewer's role as hiring manager, HR or private recruiter, having to counsel an employee whose work is not up to par, investigating a complaint of inappropriate behavior and responding to a request for an informational interview. For the interviewee we discuss seeking a promotion, job searching, proving your worth, or why the job didn’t get done and responding to an allegation of inappropriate behavior.

Great presentation to understand the importance of HR within the budgeting and planning process of a Company.
This course provided a nice overview of safety and ergonomics in the workplace, including many best practices and tips. Several good takeaways that I can easily implement. Supporting materials were also helpful and aligned with the content presented during the course.
Informative course to make sure leaders are modeling ethical behavior with their teams.
excellent the content was well done. I would fully recommend this for someone that needs to learn more about excel. I feel that I opened a new world of formulas and things I did not know about excel.
The material is dense and detailed. Be prepared to read and reread to fully comprehend.
I always enjoy Neil's classes and how he teaches. His storytelling always makes the class fun and engaging. I love how simple the concepts always seem when he breaks things down. Difficult people are tough to deal with and work with, but, we always have the choice to deal with it and control ourselves, or, we let ourselves get affected by the negative emotion. But, the choice is ours.
Great course with good examples of important aspects of the profession and certification.
Terrible quiz questions....wrong tenses and unprofessional grammar (E.g. "little white lies" and "cut it"). Also, thanks for the interesting but totally irrelevant adrenal system questions.
This was a great course to introduce me to features of excel that I have never used to give me a great understanding of how they might be used in practical everyday applications of Excel.
Excellent course, very well organized and presented, with practical examples provided.
This course provides some great information. The topics covered are very helpful as well.
Excellent! This will lead better comunication. White spaces are realy an important.
Very good test, I am now SUPER good at ethics need more words to hit 50
This course would be informative for someone right out of college or someone that has been in the workforce for a number of years. It reinforces what is acceptable today and not what was acceptable in time past.
This course was great. It talked about the various types of culture, employee behaviors, how to recognize when culture needs a change, and how to implement it. Overall, I would recommend this course!
Good to understand basic concepts, like economics textbook.
This course meets the AICPA ethics requirements for AZ CPAs and is better than some alternative courses I considered.
Good overview of various ratios that help in the financial statement analysis
Your courses have all been so wonderful, so informational, and so thorough--in short, greatly appreciated by me! Thank you for sharing your expertise, your wealth of knowledge, your inclusion of examples! I have greatly enjoyed reading and listening to all of your lectures thus far.
The audio was very low in this course, it was hard to hear. I appreciated the negotiations portion of this course, it was very insightful.
A very good course for providing best practices on how to run a presentation along with the actual research to back them.
Excellent class with important information on knowing your audience. Class includes helpful tips when working with those in higher positions.
the final exam questions are not clearly addressed in the slides.
Generally good advices and I hope the course can add more real life examples to support the theoretical system.
I liked the comparison and contrast between traits and skills and how some qualities may overlap.
Really interesting with lots of real-life examples.
I enjoyed this presentation, it provided a new insight on correcting small (and large) safety issues that are found in most businesses. You also receive guidance on ergonomics, proper lifting, etc., and who can't use that?
Great course in ethics of the CFO. Employees will only be as good as their management and this course emphasizes how the CFO can set the standard.
Would appreciate more examples in the presentation - to cover more specific real life transactions. Or, more working through the math alongside IRS definitions/precidents and real deal terms. A working excel model, such as provided for other classes covering cash flow budgeting, might help as well. For one who is interested in the topic but has not handled a transaction in real life, more examples might help bridge gaps in terminology as well--had to research triple net leases offline for example, so my time to finish the course to well over the estimate. Thank you for the great presentation and valuable knowledge!!
Great course. Stated prerequisite requirements were appropriate and sufficient. Program materials were relevant and contributed to the achievement of the learning objectives.
Very cool course! Many really useful things have been explained.
The material is useful but the instructor is monotone,which makes it difficult to stay engaged.
Comprehensive, informative and well delivered course.
Very insightful. I'll keep an eye out for her other content.
Good course learning material. Balanced financing source perspectives.
Overall great webinar. It would be helpful to reduce the number of abbreviations in the slides though.
I enjoyed this course. The instructor had real-life knowledge and examples that he drew from to teach the steps in the vendor negotiation process. This course went step-by-step through what to consider for your first negotiation.
I felt like the final exam was too easy and the wrong answers were very obvious. Though it was good for me/my CPE credits, I don't think its an effective way to evaluate whether or not I understood the materials.
The speed of the presenter when talking was way too fast. We were learning about presenting to non financial managers and I could not keep up with the flow of information. Way too fast and way too much.
Blair Cook one of the finest presenter.All projects, Present & Future need presentation.This course equips with mid-level mastery in a very cohesive manner.Bonus lesson in end caters for the advance audience in running polls during or end of your presentation.No Pdf included for this Course
This is an excellent starter course to get anyone who is interested in the new revenue recognition standards, ASC 606, familiar with the new requirements. It breaks down the 5 step model and explains what is required for each step.
Comprehensive overview with detailed steps to a good fraud mitigation program. Instructor laid out what was to be covered and then covered it.
Spoke clearly covered good intro to the topic enjoyed the slides
Very concise and to the point information.
Some more error rectification technique may be included in this course.

na
Information was well presented. Length of coursework didn't exceed what was communicated.
Very comprehensive and extremely thorough.
Very good and thorough introduction to the subject matter
A continuous play option for the video is ideal.
pretty good course, a little dry for my taste
The PDF supporting materials are all the same. The 2010 does not show the correct 2010 commands, it is for a prior version of excel.
Good
