Freshman Seminar Fall 17 FRB

STARR

Today, I attended a STARR Workshop at Baruch that discussed Interview Prep. Representatives from Target were there to present the workshop and get a better understanding of what retailers have to say about interviews. When I saw that Target was there, I knew that the workshop would be helpful because Target is a very successful retail store. There would be no better presenter then them. They began by telling us what they look for in a new employee when it comes to an interview. Some of the major tips they gave us were to do mock interviews and research successful interviews so that when we go in for a real interview we are well prepared. They mentioned some important things during an interview, like posture, confidence and word choice. When target sees that a possible employee presents themselves nicely, confidently, and properly, they see them as fit employees. These ideas are going to resonate within me as I move along my career path. I realized the importance an interview; in many instances, it is the deal breaker of whether or not you will be accepted to your dream job. My goal is to start researching famous interviews and taking notes on them so that I can begin practicing from now. I hope to master mock interviews and have the confidence to go on and master my real job interview one day. I Hope to attend more STARR workshops at Baruch so that I can better prepare myself for my career and my future. It is amazing to see what Baruch has to offer. With their workshops, tips, and practice, I will soon be on the right path towards my career. I hope to be so prepared that when I finally get there, all my hard work will pay off.
