Interview Tuesday

(Reflective Thought)
The internship process reminded me of my successes and failures in interviewing. I wanted to well prepare my advisees for the interview. My efforts were not made in vain. I was very proud to see my advisory dressed in professional attire and conduct themselves accordingly. Maria and Carlisa told me that they were asked to say something about themselves. I remember getting stuck on that question in my early years of interviewing for a job. I am glad that we developed the 30-second pitch and answered the 42 most popular interview questions. Another of my students, Andrew, was offered a position on the spot. I am very proud of my advisory. We have come a long way since our first year together.

Connection with my mission: My mission is to guide youth toward materializing their dreams. My students gave me positive feedback based on their experience at the internship job fair. Some of them had not so good experiences, but they were well prepared to handle the situation.
