Today, October 3, I attended a Starr workshop about interview preparation. Workers at target came to represent this workshop, stressing how important an interview is, as it can decide whether or not you are accepted to the job of your choice. The representatives of target gave us many tips as to how to act in an interview. They spoke about the importance of many things such as, posture, maturity, confidence, and background of the company or industry of your choice. Target tried to give us an idea as to what employers look for in an interview, by telling us what they look for when giving an interview. I learned a lot from this workshop, as I am sure everyone else did as well. We all need to know how to act and what to expect from an interview, as we all will have to be interviewed one day. The most amazing part about understanding the importance of an interview is how it comes full circle. You start by being nervous while being interviewed by a prominent employer, and then years later, in some instances, you are that prominent employer giving an interview to a nervous student. Once you are an employer you will be able to explain the importance of an interview to many people, and the cycle just continues. I am a very nervous person when it comes to being interviewed. When I was interviewed for my internship this past spring, I thought there was no way that I would be accepted to the job of my choice. I was practicing my speaking and confidence skills weeks in advance but nothing seemed to be working. Until, my father, an employer, told me that the best thing to do in an interview is not to hold back from saying anything that you feel.
