Hello guys!
So I actually rsvp for two development workshops and I can’t even attend the second one due to class, but this blog post is about the first one I rsvped for. I attended an interview walkthrough workshop taught by target representatives with some public affair class friends. The target representatives talked about confidence and being prepared. Although, everyone in the room knew most of what was talked about I learned a couple of new things. I learned to actually prepare all-round situations you can talk about in your mind before the interview. Any situation with a problem, solution, and involves you will work because the interviewer will most definitely ask you a question about a past situation and what you did. I will definitely make sure to prepare situations beforehand now. Another great point they made was about group interviews. I have had two group interviews and still have no idea on what to do. But, I was informed today to just be myself, be concise, and be confident. In the end employers, especially target, just need a feel for your personality before giving you the job. I also learned about telling the employer you can not wait to hear back from them. Do not phrase it the way I just did but, remember to thank them for their time because even if they did not like you this keeps your options open. I definitely recommend going to a workshop event if you have not. You may learn things you think you already have mastered and end up surprised like me. I have already RSVP for a future workshop with the STARR center and I hope I remember to take full advantage of such an opportunity provided to me by my college. This has been Darren thanks for reading!
