Topic: The WOW! Interview

Speaker: Jay Litton

Jay Litton is the Director of Southeast Sales for MapR Technologies (www.mapr.com). MapR helps companies earn millions in new revenues by monetizing their data (customer or internal) through a Big Data technology called Apache Hadoop.

Jay has been providing career advice at RUMC Job Networking in Roswell, GA for over 17 years (www.RUMCjobnetworking.com). Jay leads a team of over 300+ volunteer professionals who donate their time to help those in career transition with an eight hour agenda twice each month. This is considered the largest job networking ministry in the United States.

Jay is also known as the creator of the WoW! Interview™ having personally trained over 10,000 professional job seekers on how to get the job offer they want during a hiring manager interview (www.WoWinterview.com). Jay believes that if the hiring manager says “we’ll get back to you” at the end of your interview then you should have wow’ed them instead. Jay will cover exactly how to WoW! a hiring manager in his presentation which has resulted in a 46% success rate compared to the national average of 8-12%.

Jay resides in Roswell, Georgia with his wife Donna having been married for 32 years. They have three children, one daughter-in-law and their first grandson. Unfortunately, Jay also has the burden of being a Chicago Cubs fan but he is optimistic this year as always.
