I went to the interview event on Thursday to learn about more tips from GRF Seema. First, we talked about how to effectively prep for an interview. On top of reading the job description, job/internship seekers should go to the company’s website, social media pages, and LinkedIn. We should know what the employer is looking for in candidates and we as candidates should know how our skills and experiences could be valuable for the job. Seema also talked about how eye contact and dressing professionally is very important and contributes to how you present yourself. Candidates should remain calm even if they are thrown off by a question. She stressed how important practice is and how mock interviews or even just recording yourself can show potential struggles and places to improve on. During a panel interview, there may be a person that looks at how you’re dressed, another that looks at body language and sees any signs of nervousness, and others who are interested in the answers to the questions. I will be sure to think about these things the next time I have an interview!
