Do you want to know your professional potential and your career development? Do you want to understand how to build your future on the strengths and the weaknesses to work on? What will your professional profile be and what markets will it have? We will do it together through a 360-degrees evaluation with Marco Crescenzi, President of the School (and Psychotherapist), or another professional of the sector and member of the School’s staff. At the end of the interview you will have articulated and complete feedback with a clear evaluation of your professional potential, and some targeted advice for your next steps.
I believe these interviews are one of the best things about my professional experience. Since 1997, I have interviewed thousands of people, and hundreds of fantastic human beings have been launched professionally. Now, they are professionals and sector managers. The interview is very thorough because it serves to protect the candidate from imprudent choices, but also to guarantee the School and the Organizations on the highest quality of the admitted students
