Career Exploration- Basic Interviewing Skills

                On October 29, I attended the Basic Interviewing Skills. In this workshop, they spoke about how you should prepare for an interview. During this workshop, we had the opportunity to have a mock interview. We split into groups of 2 or 3 and take turns pretending to be the employer and the interviewee. We learned what to expect during an interview and how to prepare for it. First, we learned what males and females are supposed to wear to an interview. The instructor demonstrated how to shake the employer’s hand. She also gave us a list about questions we should expect to be asked during an interview and a list of questions we should ask the interview to show we are interested. We received a packet with a lot of examples of practice questions and sample cover letters.  I did not expect too much from this workshop because it’s about the basic interviewing skills. I already knew most of these techniques from high school.
