Jobs and Interviews

Doing this week's assignment about interviews brought me back to the day I had my interview at PacSun. It is the only time I have ever been to a job interview and I remember I did not really know what to expect. I also remember being really nervous. I know that job interviews are necessary but they are so nerve-wracking! That is why I am glad that we are learning about this now so that by the time I am interviewing for jobs in my career I will be better prepared.

I was talking to my dad today about this class and mentioned to him about the assignment we had to do for the presentation of self and he thought it was a great idea. I agree and I feel like this class is really teaching us a lot of things that we will be able to carry out into the real world. For example, learning about interviews is very helpful and how to be prepared for them. Also, redoing my resume and learning how to write a cover letter for the first time are very helpful things to know how to do in the professional business world.

Another part of the assignment this week was to look up job descriptions and specific companies or organizations that we would want to hire us. I found this to be really interesting as well because it is something I will probably end up doing when it comes time for me to start searching seriously for a career opportunity. (257)
