Interview Skills

After watching both videos I think I have a clear idea of what kind of Job applicant I want to be.  I want to be a Job applicant who is well prepared and always willing to learn from others. Also, I will have questions prepared to ask my interviewer to show interest in the position. I want to show enthusiasm about the position so the interview can feel a connection with the person being interviewed as opposed to having a dull conversation. I will also show good eye contact with my interviewer, this is part of having good active listening skills. The first video showed a person dressed unprofessional, spoke improper and had no idea what the job position was to begin with. This is the opposite of what i wanted to act like and present myself as in an interview.

How can you prepared for a job interview?

     There are many things that can be done to prepare for a job interview. First of all, take time to research the position and the company that you will be working for. With this you will be able to answer any questions the interviewer may have regarding how much you know about the position. Another thing is to build a good resume, you do this in order to market your assets into a piece of paper that identifies your skills and traits you can bring to the work place. With resumes, it is good to bring about 5-6 copies of your resume, in case your interview can not provide one and/or you will be interviewed by more than one professional. Dress very professional, if you can layout your clothes the night before that will be helpful. Make sure to have great eye contact for the interview.
