Interview Preparation
Assuming that you have been called for an interview for the job that you applied to in part one, prepare for the interview by:
- Researching information about the organization that would help you be successful in the interview. Be sure to make note of the resources that you used.
- Making a list of 5 possible questions the interviewer may ask you and answer them as you would in the interview.
- Making a list of at least 3 questions that you would ask the employer during the interview.
Reflection
Write a reflection about the cover letter and resume and interview preparation that you did addressing the following:
· Which type of resume did you choose and why? Provide evidence by making references to your resume.
· What specific information did you list on your resume that shows that you are a good fit for the position? Why did you decide to list that specific information? What does it demonstrate about you?
· What information did you decide to include in your cover letter and why? How do you think it would entice and interest the employer?
· Looking at the information that you found about the organization how do you think it will be helpful when preparing for your interview?
· What did you further learn about yourself when creating the interview questions and answering them?
