Assignment Due May 13

Assignment: Practicing responses to interview questions

Have a friend or family member ask you three common interview questions (from previous assignment) and practice your responses as if you were participating in an interview. Tell me who you practiced with, one thing you think you did well and one way you might improve if you were to participate in a real interview. (See example)

Example: My mom asked me the three interview questions.  She asked: 

Why do you want to work for us?

Why should I hire you?

What experiences have you had that you think might have prepared you for this position?

I did good at making eye contact while answering.  I need to work on making my responses a little longer and more detailed.  

Please contact me with any questions or for assistance with these assignments.
