workUP | Interview Tips: Build Confidence, Practice with Purpose, and Prepare for Modern Interviews

Your Skills Are Valued. Let’s Make Them Shine.

If you are eager to return to work or pivot toward your potential, interviewing can feel like one of the most intimidating steps. Explaining career gaps, articulating your value, and navigating today’s hybrid interview formats are real challenges for many returning professionals.

The workUP | Interview Tips workshop was created specifically for women in your shoes. This hands-on, supportive session helps you build confidence, practice real interview scenarios, and receive constructive feedback in a safe, encouraging environment.

This workshop focuses on you, your experience, and your readiness for today’s modern interviews.

Part of the workUP Series

Interview Tips is the final workshop in our workUP Series, a collection of bite-sized, skills-based sessions designed to prepare returners and pivoters for success.

Each workUP workshop focuses on one essential readiness skill:

• Elevator Pitch

• Resume and UP Profile

• Interview Readiness

Together, these sessions help you capitalize on your professional potential when the time is right. Whether you attend one workshop or the entire series, each session delivers concrete tools you can apply immediately.

Why Interview Preparation Matters

Interviews today look very different than they did even a few years ago. Video interviews, panel conversations, behavioral questions, and AI screening tools have become standard across industries.

For returners, these changes can feel overwhelming. The workUP | Interview Tips workshop removes uncertainty by helping you understand what to expect and how to respond with confidence.

This session combines education with practice so you are not just learning tips, but actually using them.

What We Will Cover

This is a practical, hands-on workshop designed to strengthen your interview readiness.

Modern Interview Formats

You will learn about the most common interview formats used today, including virtual interviews, hybrid processes, panel interviews, and behavioral questioning. We discuss what employers are really listening for and how to respond clearly and effectively.

Custom Interview Responses

You will work in a small group to develop and refine your responses to key interview questions. These include questions about experience, strengths, gaps, and career direction. The goal is to help you speak about your background with confidence and clarity.

Before, During, and After the Interview

We cover how to prepare before the interview, how to stay grounded and confident during the conversation, and how to follow up afterward in a professional and strategic way.

Who This Workshop Is For

This session is ideal if you:

• Are preparing to return to paid work

• Are pivoting into a new role or industry

• Feel nervous about interviews after time away

• Want real practice, not just advice

• Want feedback in a supportive environment

You do not need to be actively interviewing to attend. This workshop helps you prepare ahead of time so you are ready when opportunities arise.

Support Beyond the Workshop

Once you sign up, you will receive a downloadable resource with tips to help you prepare and succeed in modern interviews. This resource complements what you learn live and gives you something to reference as you move forward.
