Title of Workshop: Basic Interviewing
Category of Workshop: Career Exploration
Date/Time: 10/29/09 12:50-2:30
The goal of the workshop was to show the techniques of giving a good first impression on a job interview. The speaker discussed issues from how to dress to the questions that interviewers often ask. I selected this workshop because I thought it would be a good idea to learn how to communicate and impress employers. Getting the job is really hard, especiallly during this time of economic struggle, so it’s important to show future employers what I am capable of by standing apart from other employees. This workshop took me out of my comfort zone because I am actually very nervous when it comes to introducing myself so it made me think about what I have to offer and how I can best present and represent myself. It met my expectations by addressing things that I really never thought about. It made me ask myself questions that emplyers would ask such: what are my weaknesses. I’m still trying to figure out the answers but it allowed me to give thought to it before an interview. I would recommmend this workshop because it would be very helpful to someone on a long-term basis as it pertains to real life situations. I learned how to better present myself from not only what’s on my resume but also in spoken as well as body language.
