Spokane Convention Center: 334 W. Spokane Falls Blvd., Room 402We would like to thank everyone who attended the Winning At The Client Interview event. We sincerely hope that you found it valuable.
As mentioned in the presentation, here is some additional material for you to download and review at your leisure:
Based on more than 110 interviews with members of selection panels at private and public organizations, Scott Johnston from the Johnston Training Group (JTG) has learned and researched the most common interview mistakes and strategies that put a team’s best foot forward when the project is on the line.
Please join us on Thursday, October 12, as MAS welcomes Scott to present on how your firm can improve your team’s impression at interviews.
Scott will answer:
- Who is the most important person in the interview?
- How do selection panels differentiate between firms that are equally qualified?
- How can team members describe their abilities in a memorable way?
- What is the most important part of the interview?
- We are the best firm—why do we keep losing?
JTG has coached nearly 200 shortlisted teams, including winning teams for WSDOT, WSU, UW, Vulcan, Microsoft, Virginia Mason Medical Center, King County, and the City of Seattle projects.
