Interview Skills

One of the topics from Chapter 8 that I felt was interesting was the section about interviewing skills. I had actually had a short lesson on this last semester in my business class, but I liked reading and going over some of these things again. I really liked the fact that there was a whole part about questions. It gave the questions that some employers may ask you and the importance of asking the employer some questions. It wouldn’t be right if you got yourself into a job you had no idea what a regular day could be like.

“Interviews are like exclusive parties: you can’t crash the gate; you have to be invited. That means sending out resumes and cover letters that catch the eye of potential employers and make them want to meet with you.” (page 213) It is very important to update your resume and make sure it is spruced up and can catch the attention of the employer you are applying for. You want them to see why, on paper, you are the best candidate.
