Internship Class Returns

It has been so long since I've been in internship class

I cannot remember what I was doing last ha ha

I will do my best today!

Tutor Rachel is checking our hours

She has told me I don't need any more hours! That I must work on my major project, as I am behind on it

OK!!

We are now talking about the presentation we must give about what we have learned within our internship

I will aim to give this internship when I have about 80 hours

Many will go over 30 minutes (I know I will) but No Way can it be 1 hour!

I am to make a poster for my tutor, a week before the presentation

I am to talk about the clients (I have 2). I Must Remember Their Names (I know it is Anna Van Real but I can't spell)

It is a work place, not like SIT

Treat it differently and with respect

We will now talk about interviews

We will practice interviews in small groups, also then a mock interview

When I want a job, I Must Do Research!

• Re-read the job description
• Find out as much as I can about the company
• What are their latest projects
• What is the latest news or events they have featured in
• What are the company values
• Who are the leadership of the company
• What are the networking opportunities
• What are the employee benefits
• Be strategic about when you reveal the information you collected in the interview

Share my goal I want to achieve within the company

Maybe I want to start out making coffee for others, but then grow into the animation supervisor role

Practice Questions and Answers

1| Research the common questions asked during an interview, make sure you know the answers

2| Make sure your answers are succinct but clear, think of an elevator pitch

3| Prepare smart questions for your interviewers in advance

Be aware of the rights of employees and how to keep myself safe

Prepare situational anecdotes based on your experience

Use the Star Method to give a defined response

Situational - What is the context of your story?

Task - What was your role in this situation?

Action - What did you do?

Result - What was the result?

What to bring with you

Copy of my CV

Contacts of my References

Examples of my work

Never forget it! NEVER

I want to make it as easy as possible for them to hire me

There are two types of questions

General questions

Behavioral questions

They start with general questions

Then move to behavioral

Behavioral questions are looking at more how you would respond to a situation

I am to find/make four general and four behavioral questions that could be asked in an interview
