Interview Must Know!

By Mindy Yang

Once you land an interview with a hiring company, it can both be nerve wrecking and exciting. Here are some do’s and don'ts for your next successful interview!

Be confident in yourself. Whether you believe it or not, how you feel within subconsciously displays itself to person interviewing you. When answering questions, speaking in the right tone and volume will enhance your answers. By being confident in your answers, you will decrease your chances of using fragment words, such as “um” or “like,” which can cause you to seem nervous and unsure of your answers.
While physical appearance does not matter for an interview, the way you present yourself does. You want to show your potential employer that you are professional and are ready for the job at hand. Dressing casually and looking sloppy are all traits that are undesirable from any company. Be sure to have a good nights rest before the interview so that you are rested. Professional wear such as a suit or dress pants should be ironed. Hair and nails should be kept in a neat fashion to prevent the interviewer from becoming distracted.
Practice makes perfect! If you have ever been part of a job interview, there are many common questions that many companies use. Use this to your advantage and develop strong answers that can help you stand out from all the other interviewees. Recite these answers to yourself in the mirror, or with loved ones.
Knowledge is power. Researching the company you are interviewing for is extremely beneficial. It allows you to show the interviewer that you are serious and well informed about the job. By having background information, you can input ideas on how you can be a positive asset to the company. Not many people go through this extra step, so take this opportunity to shine amongst the others.

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow.
