Now that we've talked about how to create a positive first impression, it's time to think about what you'll be asked during the interview and how you'll want to answer.  Today we'll go over a few ideas in class and you will interview each other.  To prepare, please have a look at this article for reference:

how to ace job interview questions: part 1

Last week we talked about how to prevent yourself in an interview.  Here is a brief recap:

• Be early
• Dress professionally 
• Bring a portfolio (or at least a pad of paper and a pen to take notes-- it shows you care)
• Make direct eye contact
• Shake hands firmly (but no death grip :)
• Non-verbal communication
• Body language
• Distance from other person
• Stance/posture
• Hand gestures
• Facial expressions

• Para-verbal communication ("it's not what you said, it's how you said it")
• Volume
• Speed/pace
• Tone
• Pauses

• Verbal communication
• The words you use only account for 5% of the other person's overall impression of you!

Your Presentations...

Hey! I wanted to take a minute to explain the three parts of this assignment. All three of these parts have their own point values.

-Part One: Presenting and PowerPoint creation. You have completed this. Well done!

-Part Two: Posting the actual presentation on your blog. Please complete this before Friday 2/5/16.

-Part Three: Writing and posting your reflection. This also needs to be completed before Friday                               2/5/16.

That being said, the last thing I want you all to do is to comment on each other's work. Please view and respond to two of your classmates' posts. This should be done before class Tuesday 2/9/16.
Keep up the good work!
