Job Interview time!

For this assigment I had to watch a video about the always dreaded job interview:

There are a few things I learned from it:

You need to have in mind that every job interview is completely different, you never know what kind of interview you're gonna get so you have to be prepared for any situation. It could be an informal interview in a coffee shop or an extremely sophisticated one in the office of a tall business building, so be prepared!

It is important to give an excellent first impression, so make shure that you have a firm hand shake, make eye contact and have a great smile on your face. Also you have to know what to wear, always keep it professional and sophisticated, this will help you to get a great outfit together. Never over do make-up and jewerly, you don't want to come off as flashy or trashy! The key is to dress for the position you want in long term.

If you by any chance don't get called back after de interview, call them yourself, you want to keep your name and resume in the employer's mind without coming off as inssistent or annoying. After all they are making a decission and you'll have competition, you have to make decissions all the time in your career, don't be shy!

For the second part of this assignment I had to create a hypothetical questionnaire based on the job I looked up, my resume and cover letter.
