Thank you for coming in today and I'm happy to help you with your preparing for your interview.

Why don't we start by having you tell me a little bit about yourself.

So I'm a senior communications major here at Curry.

Graduating, anticipated graduation is May of 2015.

I have very strong points in working with people.

I am very involved here at Curry, So I'm a part of the student activities office.

I'm a student worker there.

I was an orientation leader as well.

I have a background in theater.

I've spent almost half of my life doing theater.

I have Vocal talents.

I've taken voice lessons for nine years.

I don't know what else to say.

I don't know what else to talk about.

I'm from Franklin, Mass.

Overall, really good.

I think you did a really nice job of showing both

parts of your background

but also some interests it really helps to paint a picture

of who you are as a person I think what you need to be careful of

and what is a common mistake is to not just reiterate everything

that they're looking at on your resume so once you start to get into

that I'm at this type of major and that I did this job

and then before that I did

that job all you're doing is reading your resume to them

and they've already read your resume that's why they brought you in as a candidate

so you kind of to think about what your pitches

and what your story is and what is it

that I want them to know within the first few minutes of meeting me.

And that's really hard.

This isn't something that's an easy thing to do.

But you want to just try to stay away.

And you actually did a good job.

I would say you weren't.

I've had, you know, I, well, I'm from Franklin, Mass.

And I went to such and such high school.

And then I went to Curry College.

And then I did this job.

And you didn't do that, which was good.

But you want to try to stay away from what I

kind of would describe as like the chronology of your background

and more as a summary of who you are as a candidate, what you're looking for, where your passion lies, as it relates to the position.

What is a weakness that you have?

My weakness is when things aren't going my way, I tend to stress myself out to the max, and I just don't know where to go from there,

but then when it all comes down to it, I can pick myself back up.

And so it's a weakness that builds into a strength kind of thing.

I have a little bit of a formula

that I like students to follow when it comes to answering this question because this is a tough one.

And it's a three-part formula.

One, pick something that's honest and authentic.

So you did that.

I didn't get the, oh, I'm just, I work too hard.

That's not very authentic.

So you did.

You picked an authentic weakness.

Step two is to not pick a weakness that's going to throw yourself under the bus.

So you don't want to say, for instance, you're going into PR.

I really don't like working with people.

Like that's a weakness that's going to be a deal breaker for that kind of industry.

Three, you then take it and you talk about how you mitigate that weakness.

So that's where the step, the third step I'd want you to take.

So I think you hit one and two.

But three would be to then say, so typically what I do when I feel myself getting really overwhelmed is I stop, I take a breather, or I begin to write lists,

or I figure out a way to organize my day.

so that if you were to ask my co-workers at Outback, they probably have no idea that I'm like this, but internally this is something that I go through,

and so these are the things that I do to make sure that it doesn't affect my work.

Can you give me an example of an accomplishment you've had and what that tells us about you?

So I think one of my greatest accomplishments is the general focus of me going to college,

because initially graduating high school I didn't I wasn't planning on

going to college I was a C student in high school wasn't involved in anything basically just went to school

and left and didn't really do much and then coming to college I had

that mindset of I'm just gonna like do whatever

and then I got involved on campus I ended up getting Dean's List both semesters of my freshman year

and then both semester sophomore year and then it continued up up until my senior year, I've made Dean's List almost every semester, a couple of semesters I haven't, but close enough.

I'm extremely involved on campus.

I was an orientation leader.

I have been involved in Curry Theater and I'm participating in all of these specific things that go on at Curry,

which initially I had no idea or anticipation of me doing anything that I've done at Curry so far.

So I think that right there is a great aspect of my life that I initially had never expected to happen.

Great.

I think, again, very good sort of common way to answer an interview question.

I think taking it up a notch is to complete the question, which I kind of fed you, which was, what does that tell us about you as a worker?

And that's usually not how that question is going to be asked.

They'll say, can you give me a sense of an accomplishment that you've had?

But what you want in your brain to do is to translate that for them.

So your example of making dean's lists.

So I didn't think I was going to go to college, and then I went to school, and I made dean's lists immediately.

And what that can tell you about me is that once I get myself going, I'm really committed, that I've got great time management skills.

It took me a little while to really put a commitment to education, but once I did, I was committed,

and that's where I am now and start to think about what is it that made you get that accomplishment.

So what skills, because those are transferable skills, those skills that helped you to get Dean's List are the same type of skills that an employer wants,

that time management, the attention to detail, the getting things done, getting things done on time.

Those are the things that help you to get Dean's List are also the things that help you be a productive employee.

So anytime you have an opportunity to talk about an accomplishment, you want to tie it immediately back to what attributes about you

helps you get that accomplishment

because that's going to paint a picture for them of what kind of worker you're going to be.

What do you think sets you apart from other candidates?

This sort of ties into like my strengths.

I'm incredibly well at communicating with people and just being with people in general.

100

I tend to have people gravitate towards me when I go places.

101

I'm respectful.

102

I am able to to put forth any effort to help others, including myself, but others as well.

103

And I'm just very creative as well.

104

And I'm always able to bring like a creative aspect into a situation.

105

So again, I would encourage you to think about what sets you apart, what makes you truly different, and oftentimes look at your combination of experiences.

106

Because most people won't have the exact same background as you.

107

So if you piece together the different areas that make you different, so it might be the combination of event planning plus the theater

108

or something that is a real interesting cross-section

109

that then brings a certain caliber to the workplace and kind of figure out what that is.

110

And I think the other part of it is anytime you have an opportunity to talk about a story or an example,

111

that that could have been another opportunity to to provide an example to support what you're saying when you answer that question.

112

Do you have any questions for us?

113

I don't have any questions.

114

Thank you.

115

We always want to have questions prepared prior to coming into an interview

116

and oftentimes what happens is just through the back and forth of the interview those questions get naturally answered.

117

That said you do want to have some additional questions

118

or have questions that are most likely not going to get answered unless you ask them

119

and so the best way to do that is through company research.

120

Research that organization, research how they've been covered in the news.

121

If you ask a question related to a PR agency

122

or interview with a PR agency and you saw in the news that they just had a new client come on, that's a great opportunity to show that you've been really keeping track of them as an organization.

123

So I noticed that you are now a PR agency for XYZ company.

124

Can you tell me a little bit about how that might impact the work of this area that I'm interviewing for?

125

So that's a way to show that you've been engaged

126

and you've been following them and that you're really interested in them as an organization

127

and it also gives you a chance to ask a really good question.

128

I would say overall very good.

129

I think you are your interviewing level is at above average of a typical college student.

130

I think this feedback is intended to take you to the next level

131

and to be more on the professional seasoned professional level of interviewing.

132

So it's not an organism.

133

I think a lot of times students think it's just answering the questions

134

and there's a right way to answer a wrong way to answer and it's an ABC.

135

It's not that it's really a back and forth conversation

136

and you should be driving the interview as much as them

137

so it's your opportunity to learn about the position the organization

138

you're anytime you're on an interview you're trying to figure out

139

whether this organization is a good match for you as much

140

as they're trying to figure out whether you're a good match for them

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
