This week we had a wonderful guest presenter come and talk to us about interviews and applying for jobs and internships. One counsel that I enjoyed was about the preparation that should be done before an interview, specifically that we should go into any interview with questions that we want to have answered. This makes sense to me for two reasons; first, you will know what kind of company it is that you are interviewing with and you are able to get your mind in the right place that you are thinking about how it would be to work in the company; second, you will be a better listener because it will seem as though you weren't listening if your question was answered during the actual interview.
Preparing for an interview is extremely important because you want to present your best self meaning you have to be sharp. One way that I prepare for an interview is think about what I would be able to do in the company to be able to add value to their team. Once I figure this out I will focus on these things during the interview so that the interviewer can see that I am not some random guy who wants to work in the company.
In order to better myself in interviews I will spend more time thinking about questions that I want to have answered, I will also be sure to research to see if I can find some projects that are being worked on so that I will be sharper and one step ahead of the competition.
