Two weeks ago, I attended a career workshop through Starr with my friend Tiffany. In this career workshop, the instructor told shared her personal experiences with interviews and how we could also benefit from following the packet that was given to us. During the workshop, the students were given a packet which was an extensive guideline of what an interviewer should do before, during, and after the interview is over. It included aspects like what to wear during an interview, what questions to prepare for, and what to do after.
One major thing that I learned from the workshop is the importance of knowing how to characterize yourself. The packet included extensive adjectives that a candidate can use to characterize him or herself, like communicative, to showcase why this person would be a good fit for the position. I also learned the importance of sending a thank you email after having an interview because it shows that the candidate really wants the position.
I am grateful that Baruch offers workshops like this to its students and I know that I will be able to utilize the things I learned that day for my future interviews.
