It's terrifying to many people,
but it is something every job seeker
must eventually do.
To sit down before a complete
stranger and answer his questions
is something many college seniors
and graduates dread because they
know the answers may affect the
rest of their life. A job interview
may land a successful job in the
first step of a life-long career, but
at the time the stress is almost
unbearable.
"Students .will experience var
ious aspects of anxiety," said Dr.
John Reinhold, a clinical social
worker with the Student Mental
Health Service, "not only from the
interview, but from recently leav
ing college, friends, and so forth."
Pat Carpenter, of the Master of
Business Administration program,
said probably the most important
part of preparing for an interview
is to develop self-confidence when
going for a job interview..
"I think that most of us are
brought up learning to be modest,"
she said.
"There are different ways of
doing this though; you have to find
a plesant way to show the accomp
lishments of your life."
Carpenter gave several tips on
how to relieve some of the tensions
experienced during an interview.
"First of all, know a great deal
about yourself, your interests, and
what you're looking for in a job,"
Carpenter said. "Know all of the
job aspects, and know how your
skills can help in those aspects."
Reinhold said an interview
should not be completely one
sided, but instead the questioning
should go both ways.
"Instead of feeling like the
interviewer is just checking you,"
he said, "you should try to check
him as well; you must have some
questions too." , .
Carpenter said the best tech
nique is to be assertive in the
interview and sell yourself.
"You have to ask yourself what
are you going to be able to do for
this company, and then you have
to show that to the interviewer,"
Carpenter said.
