BEFORE THE INTERVIEW

Since we are Communication students and that is what we pay more attention to, interviews are one of the most important communication process when you want a job. Interviews are the main part of the whole "looking for a job" process where you have the chance to "sell" yourself to the employer. As we earlier said that the cover letter gets you the interview, now the interview gets you the job. But it is not as easy as it may sound: interview! Actually it is a job interview, where you have to measure every word you say and carefully arrange them in every question. If you try to convince yourself that you don't have to prepare in advance and you will just answer about your past experiences and your future goals, then you are wrong. Listening to our professor's experiences with interviews was an advantage for us to perceive how an interview goes and what to expect during that process. In this week's classes we could learn about interview stages, types and job interview questions. Besides that we could discuss about the way we should look and act in an interview and also watched some videos about that. We could listen to other colleagues' experiences with interviews which was very useful especially when you take it from somebody else's experience. We really had to pay attention as we will have to do the same with the colleagues once in the role of the interviewer and then in the role of the interviewee. Here is a link with useful tips when preparing for an interview:
