As my college career is coming to a close, I need to be prepared to start looking for jobs. When job searching, it is important that my resume is up-to-date with my skills and qualities. Chapter seven taught me all about compiling a resume, interviewing, and a follow up after the interview.
In the next year or so I hope to be interviewing for graduate programs at various schools. This chapter taught me a lot about how to have a successful interview. Some tips include doing your homework, being prepared and on time, be sensitive to body language, and so forth. One tip I really need to focus on is speaking confidently and clearly. I get fairly nervous speaking in front of people of authority and it shows. My voice gets shaky and I stutter over my words. It is important to be able to show confidence through my speech. This bullet point taught me that to become a better speaker I need to listen carefully to be able to answer questions completely. It is also important to maintain a good voice energy. All of these tips listed will hopefully help me to have confidence in interviews with potential schools as well as future jobs.
