So on August 26th I attended a webinar within Career Service for Interview Tips and Tricks. This experience was new as I had never attended a webinar. Although we got off to a rocky start with the sound not working, I really enjoyed the topic and the discussion within the webinar. The start of the webinar was a basic review of what to do in an interview and how to prepare. A new bubble of thought I learned about was the impact of social media when applying for positions. Many employers use a tool that allows them to see your social media profiles. It is important for that reason that your social media profile remains clean and professional as much as possible.
The next part of the discussion was on different interviews and how to prepare for them. Before even applying for a company it is important to research them, and determine if they are the right fit for you as well as being prepared to answer questions if there is an application process. After being accepted for an interview, preparing for the type of interview is important. A new tip I was given was that in group interviews it is important to include everyone within the interview in your answer that way the employers know you work well in a group. For phone and web interviews it is important that you act as if it was in person and that you are in a setting that fits those needs. I extremely enjoyed the webinar and look forward to future events. :)
