Acing an Interview

101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview QuestionsNeed a great resource to nail those upcoming interviews? Graduate Mr. Charles McDaniel recently purchased Mr. Ron Fry’s publication, “101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions.” Following his recent interview he returned to read the book and was amazed by how many of the questions he was asked were almost identical to one’s mentioned in this book! Here at Starkey we encourage our graduates to “prepare, prepare, prepare!” Please let us know if you have any resources your recommend that may help other graduates in the placement process. Thanks Mr. McDaniel!
