Tip 1: Make sure to dress professionally
When going to a job interview the main objective is to make a good enough impression to be hired. Part of that impression which some people tend to forget is dressing the part. Even if the job you are applying for does not have a strict dress code , the best policy is to wear business attire that goes more to the conservative side. Presenting a clean and put together outer appearance helps people believe that you are that put together in a work environment as well. I personally have experience with this through my own job interviews that I have been on and gotten hired from, when I was in high school I put this tip in use and dressed smartly for a job interview, and was hired over other people my age who dressed in jeans and t-shirts to go on a job interview.
Tip 2: Having a positive attitude
In almost every job you will ever have, like it or not, you will have to deal with people on a daily basis, be it just your boss and coworkers, or clients, people skills are an important part of any job. Having a positive, upbeat attitude in a job interview shows interviewers that you would be easy to work with and are capable of being a team player.
Tip 3: Make sure your resume is up to date and easy to understand
With so many Americans losing their jobs lately getting to the interview process has gotten even harder because of the sheer amount of resumes that are coming in. The key when applying for a job is to make sure your resume stands out in the pile. Having a good cover letter and an easy to understand resume that clearly states your work experience and education background. My fellow blog group members have posted resume tips to go further into detail about it.
Tip 4: Turn negatives into positives
In every job interview you will get asked something about your faults, the key is to turn your fault into a positive, like being obsessive about being organized, never say an actual fault that could endanger your chances of being hired. We all know that every one has faults but job interviewing is all about good marketing, only focus on the positives.
Tip 5: Be prepared for anything you might be asked
When at a job interview the same basic question are always asked: why do you think you will be a good fit with this company, are you a good team player, where do you see your self in the future, etc. Making sure you know how you will answer this question will enable you to make quick solid answers, which will show how confident you are and hopefully how right for the job you are.
The first paragraph of your blog post is very confusing. The sentences are not grammatically correct, and they don’t really make sense... In the rest of the blog you have some more unclear sentences, for example: “Part of that impression which some people tend to forget is dressing the part.” You should proofread your work before posting. Good job on including tondoo, but in my opinion it is really hard to read. I was not able to read what the characters of the tondoo are saying…I don’t know about others, but I cannot see the voki. I just see a white rectangle in the place where voki should be. I like the tips that you listed. They are very informative and useful.
ReplyDeleteThe information is good. However, there are many grammatical errors throughout. One example is in the first paragraph: "A thing that many people including my self is, how does one exactly master a job interview?" It might help if you have a friend read over before submitting. Overall the information given would be helpful to someone.
ReplyDeleteI liked that you used a casual tone in your blog. It gave the post more personality than others. I like that you also asked a question in the introduction to kind of steer your topic of discussion. I agree that there were a few grammatically incorrect sentences. I would suggest posting your blog early in the forum so that others from our team can revise it and make it better for you. After all, most times you won't even notice your own mistakes. That applies to everybody!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the Toondoo! Next time I would recommend chosing the "large" setting when uploading it. The uploader should give you the choice to either have your picture show up small, medium or large. Large will most like be easier to view it and understand it from a readers perspective.
I was also not able to view the voki.
Also, be careful when formatting your blog. Some of the paragraphs ran together and it was hard to distinguish where the next started.
Other than those minor flaws, I think that you provided a sufficient amount of information, and Brennan and I will be able to use this blog post as help when putting together our "Job Interview PhotoStory!"
