This document outlines tips for a successful student professional development workshop presented by Jane Prusakova. The workshop discusses goals for interviews such as getting a job, learning about opportunities, and meeting people. It provides advice on making a good impression in an interview through being positive, interesting, and real about yourself, and asking direct questions about the opportunity. The workshop teaches that interviews are two-sided, with both the interviewer and interviewee learning about each other, and that first impressions matter within the first 10 seconds through smiles, eye contact and posture.
