Tour | Greenwich Village Neighborhood Tour


Greenwich Village is among Manhattan's most desirable and expensive residential neighborhoods. It's history, however, betrays it's monied status.

Workshop | Thinking Through the Job Interview


All jobs interviews address three key questions: Can you do the job? Will you love the job? Do I really want to work with you? How do you address those unspoken questions during the course of an interview? Celia Currin, executive and career coach, covers these questions and gives you a way to think through the interview before you get there, the research and preparation that can help calm your nerves and boost your confidence. The key to success is often how you develop rapport and outshine your competition. People like to hire people they like. The real goal of that first interview is to be invited back for the next one!!
