Review: Interview Skills Workshop

Interview Skills WorkshopWednesday, March 12, 2008 – After the Job Fair Success workshop, and the Job Fair, it was a perfect conclusion to this track of courses to have an interview skills workshop, brought together again by the SJSU Career Center.

Central to the Interview Skills Workshop included several handouts, as well as information about what to expect in a modern interview, and how to properly prepare for those tough interview questions. Probably the best handout of the event featured a range of tough and commonly-heard interview questions, and then we took a few minutes to practice our interview skills with one another.

Overall, this was another great workshop to help us understand the ins-and-outs of interviewing, and most people in the room seemed eager and ready for their upcoming career opportunities. Thanks again to the Career Center for providing the time and resources for this workshop.

Updated Facebook Group

Well, in getting in the spirit of being socially-networked, we’ve gone ahead and updated our Facebook group. If you’re a member of SAM, click here to visit the SAM SJSU Facebook Group page and click the “Join this Group” link in the top-right corner. This is a great way to keep connected with SAM members outside of the classroom and our meetings, and hopefully can spark some friendships that go beyond the group.

Also, if you’re interested in joining our LinkedIn group, just email LinkedIn@SAMSJSU.org to receive an invitation to the group. LinkedIn is one of the best ways to keep your business relationships in one place, and can provide you with valuable connections and introductions as you’re making your way through your future career(s)! Click here to visit LinkedIn and start a profile if you haven’t already.

Also, another reminder, come see Enterprise Rent-A-Car tomorrow (Wednesday, March 19th) at 4:30pm in the BBC 003 room, and don’t forget to schedule the 4th Street Pizza social on Thursday afternoon as well.
