On Thursday, November 12, I went to my career planning workshop called Basic Interviewing Techniques. This workshop helped me to know some basic information about interviewing. The person who presented the speech has many experiences as interviewer. She said she had seen many people have an interview. During the workshop, the presenter went over one by one of the basic interview techniques. This workshop is very helpful because I didn’t know anything about interview before I went to this workshop. I learned the first most important thing is personal pitch. Personal pitch is a 30 seconds o 2 minutes infomercial about you containing the most important and relevant information you want the interviewer to know including name, career objective, and qualification and accomplishments. This is very important because a good personal pitch can impress the interviewer. Also, you should know about the company that you want to work at. You should do research about the company to know the company’s history and age, services and products, and financial status etc. Besides, one important thing could affect the interview is dress. Dress formally to an interview is important because this shows that you really care about the interview. The presenter told us formal dress in detail about suit, ties shoes, and socks. She also told us to be enthusiastic and energetic during the whole interview. After the interview, be prepared to write the Thankyou letter. She said it was always necessary. The workshop ended a little bit earlier, but I already learned many things about interview. I was shocked that there are many steps we should follow in order to do well in the interview. This workshop helps me a lot in preparing later interviewing.
