ARIA REVIEW:
“Shortly after using ARIA, I had an in-person interview and the questions that were being asked were essentially the same as the ones in ARIA. I would recommend this to a friend or colleague, especially if interviewing is not a strong skill . The practice and feedback you get after using ARIA can really help you take the next step in better preparing for an interview.”
