How to Ace an Interview

A couple of days ago, I got the chance to interview one of my dad’s friends, Nate, about his experiences with interviews. Currently a Nurse Practitioner, he has had over ten different jobs in his lifetime, ranging from a managerial position at KFC to an emergency room nurse. Just like his past jobs, the types of interviews that he has been in have been wildly different. He has even conducted a few interviews himself. Soon I will be participating in important, career-defining, interviews and it is important that I understand the ropes of an interview. I asked him only a couple of questions, but I got detailed answers and invaluable insights from the mind of both a successful interviewee and

Interviewing someone you know may be a more easier with than someone you do not know. In this case, I interviewed my friend Matthew Guerrero. He is a sophomore here at Washburn. Matthew's background is different than mine because he is Hispanic and grew up with his married parents and his one brother. That differs from my background because I grew up with divorced parents going back and forth between the two every weekend. I also grew up a bit different because there is a total of eight kids in my family. I chose to interview Matthew because even though we both have two very different life's we are very similar. I think it is interesting how we had complete opposite lives growing up but we both are almost boy-girl version of each other and

When you are interviewing for a job people want to know what you want to offer to their company, and if I am part of this amazing Tulane Freeman School of Business. I know I can get the job of my dreams. One of the key parts of a business program is working with people that you may not get along with. Being in the school of business for four years my commutation and listening will be great.

This will make me a great coach in the long run learning all the valuable life skills the business school has to offer. Overall, I would be forever grateful to get this scholarship to help me be a great communicator and coach in the long

I’ve been in many different job interviews. Including the Georgina Leisure Pool. Where I applied for a Lifeguard, and Swim instructor position. I’ve also had an interview with Swiss Chalet where I applied for a waitressing position. Going into the interviews I was a bit nervous I’ve never been good at interviews, and pool interview was my first job ever. When I came to the interview at Swiss Chalet I was more hesitant then the pool interview because it was a new experience from me working in the food and beverage industry. I wasn’t sure of the questions that were going to be asked, and how I would respond to them.

In beginning of class when I learned that we would be doing interviews I was dreading it. I have done interviews before and it felt the same as giving a presentation in front of the entire class. I had no real knowledge of what the proper way to hold an interview was let alone as a social worker. I know I wasn’t going to be given real interviews and I would be doing the interviews along with my group made up of fellow classmates but they felt as real as they could get. But gradually over the sessions it became easier and I felt more confident about how to conduct the interview. Having the practice even mock interviews became a great way for me to learn how to have an interview and make sure I know what I am doing. Which is a

It didn't go bad. I mean, the person interviewing me was really nice, apologized for calling a little late ("Oh no, it's totally okay!" said past Eva as her clammy hands shook violently) and explained everything I would be responsible if I were to be chosen for the council. The only problem was that every time she tried to talk, I would talk. And then we'd both say wait for the other to speak, in which then, a painfully awkward silence would ensue. There were a few questions that I was NOT prepared for, so I made up some answers right on the spot. Surprisingly, those answers were pretty decent; I gave myself a mental high five when I hung

The way one dresses for an interview, whether the interview be for a job, internship, or scholarship, can determine whether or not he gets the position or whatever for which he has applied.

I also want to make sure I study the company I am interviewing for. If I can cater the answers to the company’s mission statement or values, I am likely to score some points there. I want to feel confident in what I am talking about. I also what the interviewer to know that I know their company and I will uphold the same values they believe in. Again, this makes me prepared.
