So I totally forgot about this assignment until Tuesday, luckily I found out there was a career day prep workshop at 5 pm. I was starving after my pre calc class and I only had 20 minutes until the workshop so I grabbed something quickly to eat and stuffed my face. I ran in a few minutes late with food in my hands and I felt a bit awkward. Anyways… the workshop was actually very helpful. There was a presentation and about 3-4 speakers. Each one of them made very good points about how to ace an internship interview. There were small details like having a good handshake or sending a thank you follow up email to your interviewer that I would have never known had I not attended this workshop. Also they gave us some good resources to find information about companies and specific internship positions for us to use to help improve our interview because projecting confidence and knowledge about the company is very important. I also learned that its actually important for me to ask the interviewer some questions as well. For example some things I can ask is “what qualities are you looking for in your new employee” or “what sort of training will I receive.” Another important point was not to sell yourself short. Employers are impressed by all sorts of interests, backgrounds, majors, and hobbies. Organization was another important point, keeping business cards and company literature organized and taking notes about your conversations and impressions will be helpful when preparing for interviews or making employment decisions. Lastly and most importantly is to know your resume perfectly so you can help walk your interviewer through it with clarity and confidence. At the end of the workshop all of our questions were answered. Overall the workshop was very beneficial and I would like to attend one again in the future.
