Job Interview preparation

Pre-class assignment/topic to write

• Prepare/update your resume and cover letter. Share with mentors. Find a job or an internship position that you would like to apply.

• Read thoroughly job requirements and qualifications. Do you think you are suitable for this job? Why or why not?

• Practice your answers to the questions:

  • Tell me about yourself

  • Why do you think you’re a good fit for this job?

  • Tell about a time when you face challenges at work. What did you do and what was the outcome?

  • What is your biggest weakness? You should talk about your weaknesses honestly but also address how you take steps to improve or overcome them.

Articles (optional)

• 100 potential interview questions and how to answer them

• Things That Interviewers Really Want To Hear From You In The Interview

Conversation starters

• Go over interview questions with the students. Advise on how they can phrase better or organize their thoughts better. Fix their pronunciation if needed.
