For my last enrichment workshop, I did the career category. My friend, Angelina, and I went to the Starr Career Development Center for a career workshop on how to master a job interview. I’m super happy I went because it was very helpful. The presentation and the packet they gave contained a lot of good and useful information in it. I didn’t know what to expect going in but it was a very welcoming environment because of how friendly and engaging the instructors were when they were giving the presentation. I also liked how they gave a lot of time for people to ask questions because there are a lot of what-ifs when approaching a job interview. I have an internship so I have been on an interview before and I have also worked three part-time jobs in my past so I have had experience with that as well but I still wanted to expand my knowledge on it. Job interviews are unfortunately that type of thing that you have to prepare and practice for almost every time because of how you are put on the spot. Also, you can never really know for sure what the interviewer is going to ask you but that is why informational classes like STARR workshop is great. One really good piece of advice they gave is to follow the acronym STAR when sharing success stories during the interview. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action, Result. This is helpful because during an interview you may be asked how you overcame something and had success and STAR provides an easy way to help you stay on track and not rambling on when telling your success story. Another good piece of advice is when asked “what is your weakness”, we were suggested to not try to turn a strength you have, like being a perfectionist, into one of your weaknesses. This is because it can sound ungenuine and too scripted. I enjoyed this career workshop and plan on going to another one soon!
