Ed Lawrence, the founder and principal of Getstart-ed, will discuss why companies use assessments; what they really want to learn; and how you can best prepare for them.
**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**
Companies in 2026 employ a vast array of tools to find the perfect hire. Job seekers must be prepared to deal with AI, neuroscience, and a host of possible behavioral assessments. Do these tools actually work? Is it possible to beat them? How can we best prepare, so we present our best self? Ed will discuss why companies use assessments; what they really want to learn; and how you can best prepare for them. And you’ll take some assessments during the presentation! After you participate, you’ll know more about yourself and how you come across to others. You’ll feel more comfortable promoting yourself and persuading hiring authorities that you are aligned with what they want.
