Re: Things about Interview
We had our first business meeting on February 3, 2015 in the small section class. There were mainly three topics about interview we discussed in the class. Our group’s topic is interview preparation. I got one journal to share named How to “Prepare for a Job Interview” on the website of The Wall Street Journal. In addition, we also learned from other two groups about the interview skills and interview clothing.
In the meeting, I mainly talked about how to prepare for an interview. Interview preparation is the first step throughout a whole interview. Thus, for the interview preparation, people need to know some key points:
Visualizing how the interview will go.
Mental preparation well in advance.
Gain confidence: write down write down several of your greatest accomplishments and then list the skills you used to achieve them.
Besides these three key things in my article, my group members also added that people should
Choosing which company they want to interview.
Searching the information of the company.
Imagine what kinds of questions the interviewee will ask.
One group discussed about the interview clothing and there are some tips for men and women:
Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey)
Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit)(men)
Dark socks, conservative leather shoes (men)
The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably
Conservative shoes (women)
Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets)(women)
Light make-up, perfume Neatly & manicured clean nails (women)
Another group students gave us some key interview skills:
Practice Good Nonverbal Communication
Don't Talk Too Much
Don't Be Too Familiar
Use Appropriate Language
Don't Be Cocky
Take Care to Answer the Questions
Ask Questions
Don't Appear Desperate
All in all, I learned a lot after having this business meeting about the interview preparation, clothing and skills. I
