With virtual interviews here to stay, it’s important to prepare differently than you would for a typical in-person interview.
The Covid-19 pandemic forced many companies to adopt virtual interviewing. According to a survey from Indeed, 82% of employers used virtual interviewing technology. And it turns out, both companies and candidates like it. The same survey revealed that 93% of companies plan to continue using virtual interview technology in the future.

Tony Byrne is now officially the senior vice president of business development, marketing, at MarketStar. He was involved in rolling out the new Values that we now live by. We asked him to share some of his experience with it, and here is what he said:

The main goal of any for-profit organization is to make an impact while growing revenue. They make money by creating growth for their employees, their clients, and their community. Women can play a major part in helping organizations achieve this goal. In fact, a recent study shows that on average, companies with at least one woman in the C-suite are 6% more profitable that those without. Those with at least one woman on the board, outperform those without by 16%. These numbers give everyone a reason to care. If women are so vital to an organization’s success and bottom line, why is it so hard to hire, retain, and promote them?

The awe and magnitude of Sequoia’s beauty tranquilized the hundreds of park guests as we respectfully explored the forest.
