Steps 2 Success is a free 10-week job readiness boot camp, empowering female job seekers with the tools and knowledge to help land their next job opportunity. It is a workforce career development program delivered by Dress for Success Northern New Jersey, and their mission is to "work to get women working." Steps 2 Success just completed their 22nd cohort, economically empowering women in the Northern NJ community.
Steps 2 Success powered by ADP offers in-class interview prep, mock interviews with corporate industry partners, and "speed dating" mock interviews amongst program participants. As with most job seekers, many women in the program have not interviewed in quite some time, and are looking for more interview prep.
"Many of the women in the job readiness boot camp are unaware of how new technology such as AI is transforming the hiring process. Talk Hiring is a valued additional tool to the STEPS curriculum, improving their interviewing skills while getting more comfortable with the next generation of interviewing technology." ~ Willa Edgerton-Chisler, Program Coordinator
Willa Edgerton-Chisler, the Program Coordinator/Facilitator for Steps 2 Success powered by ADP, noticed our table at NJ Assemblyman Joe Danielsen's job fair back in April 2019 and came over to learn more. She is a self-proclaimed tech junkie, and loves trying new tech products.
*How are we measuring improvement in interviewing skills? Measuring interviewing competency objectively is tough. What we do is, we take the first time a user answered a specific question and the last time that user answered that question. We compare the 2 answers across a variety of dimensions (number of relevant details, conciseness, delivery fluency, length of speaking time) to evaluate if answers improved.
