Title of Workshop Attended –Career Planning: Basic Interviewing
Category of Workshop – Career Exploration
Date/Time of Workshop – Oct. 30 12:50 -2:20
This workshop was all about job interviews. What to expect, how to prepare, ect, ect. There was a lot of information being fed to us during this workshop. The goal was to give us tips on what to do for a job interview.
I chose to attend this workshop because I needed one more workshop to meet the Nov. 2nd deadline. To be honest, I didn’t really want to go to this one. In high school, we actually learned about this and even did a mock interview. So a lot of this information for me wasn’t new. This workshop didn’t take me out of my comfort zone because most of it was just sitting and listening. There was an exercise to practice your “personal pitch” to the person sitting next to you. But because I was sitting next to Roxanne, we didn’t take it very seriously.
If you have never been on an interview or don’t know anything about it, I would definitely recommend it. The presentation had some really good information. If you already have experience with interviews, you can skip this one. It’s nothing you don’t already know.
We learned that it was most important to prepare for your interview. It’s good to pay attention to your dress, grooming, and handshake. Also, have a good resume write a thank you letter. I also think it’s really important to just relax and be personal on an interview.
