We will also look at preparing for a job search, brush up on resume tips, strategies for writing an attention getting letter of application and preparing for an interview.
Preparing for your Interview:
One practice exercise that can be very helpful is participating in a mock interview. Although we were not able to complete our practice interviews in class last week, I would like each of you to look at the common interview questions listed in our text. Give them some thought and prepare answers to the questions that give you the most difficulty. The book lists some of commonly asked interview questions on page 358 and also toward the end of the chapter. If you have any personal favorites that you would like to include that would also be appropriate, or you may add common interview questions that you have found from other research.
In any case, once you have a list of 4 - 5 of the toughest questions, write out your answers or a strategy for answering such questions and we will discuss it in class this coming Wednesday.
Please bookmark any interesting sources of help on the subject, link them up in a diigo list and post your questions, answers, and the link to your Diigo list on your weblog.
