So last thurday i went to the pre-job convention workshop. Basically, i only went because i needed one more workshop and this centered around what job representatives will be available in the convention. It was WAY too long… full 2 hours with no food. It started off interesting because we were told how to act during an interview, and how to do an elevator speech, but after you go to 5 workshops, most of this information is recycled and useless.
The worst part was when they opened up the Q/A, people kept raising thier hands to just hear themselves talk, asking questions like ” What should we wear to an interview.” — Valid question, but when they give you a 20 page packet with step by step guidelines of what to do and what not to do, you are just wasting everyone’s time.
All in all, i wouldnt recommend this workshop to anyone not going to the job convention the next day.
