"Make sure you share what happened in a concise way, only sharing the facts and not your feelings or perceptions," Gottfiedson said. "It is better the company hears the truth from you than from someone else." As students graduate from college and enter the workforce, they often have all the technical skills needed for a job; however, to stand out from everyone else in the interview, applicants need soft skills to stand out.

Be honest about past experiences This seems like an obvious tip; however, Jon Schmidt, an adjunct in business, said this is an important factor when companies determine whether or not to hire someone.

Gottfredson said if your mind blanks during an interview, focus on what's important to distract the hiring manager from your brain fart. Just admit you can't remember the word or name you currently are stuck on, and then direct your idea back to why it's important. "When I was interviewing for my job my boss did a role play thing where she was the student, and I was the tutor," said Cora Hamer, a senior dance major from St. George. "I totally blanked and had no idea what to say. I came out thinking I totally bombed it, but somehow I ended up getting the job." Hamer said her boss who interviewed her understood she might not have the skills to tutor yet, but she knew she would learn these skills when she was trained. Do your homework Research the company you are interviewing for and know who you are talking with. "You should also come in ready to ask questions, but appropriate questions that show you did your homework," Schmidt said. Talking about the company you are interviewing for shows you are truly interested in the job, and it shows you cared enough to put time into researching before your interview. Hamer said one of her interviewers sent her questions before the interview, so she'd be prepared beforehand. "It made me feel better knowing that I knew what I was going into," Hamer said. "Then I knew what to study, and I didn't blank out as much. Having the questions is helpful because then I'm not sitting there in the interview with a blank stare." Don't ask about benefits or pay Immediately asking about what the company can do for you can be seen as unprofessional. Schmidt said if you are interviewing for a professional-leve- l job, you should never ask about the benefits from the company or your potential pay. "One of the things that drove me crazy when interviewing for an accountant, manager, or someone of that nature, is when they would ask about the benefits or how much the job paid," Schmidt said. "My answer to those questions was usually something along the lines of 'our benefits and pay are competitive with companies of our size in this industry." Be the solution If a company is hiring, it is looking for someone to fill a need. Presenting yourself as the missing puzzle piece the company needs to complete itself makes you desirable. "A lot of people think the interview is about getting to khow you, and that's true to a certain degree, but if the individual being interviewed understands the organization has a need and is looking for someone to fill that need, they can become the solution," Schmidt said. After the interview, don't dwell on things you thought went wrong. Learn from your experiences and use them to excel in future endeavors. FLU continued from page 1 this year, and they have already had quite a few people get their shots. According to Josh Bloom's article, "Flu 2017-th- e good and the bad news," this flu season is projected to be worse than last year because people are 2.5 times more likely to be infected by this year's strain of the flu. Sheb Davie, a pharmacist at Rite Aid, said students who live in dorms are more susceptible to getting sick because of their close proximity to other students who may get sick. Because of this, he highly recommends students living in the dorms to get the flu shot. Jessie Pectol, a junior general studies major from St. George, said that she hasn't gotten a flu shot the last few years despite being on her parent's insurance plan. "I have a family that doesn't really talk about the benefits of getting vaccinations for the flu, so I've never really seen the point in them," Pectol said. "I'm a skeptical human being, so I don't know if I'm going to get one any time soon." For those students who can't afford a flu shot this year, or are skeptical about vaccinations, Davie said it is important to watch out for students who are sick; keep up on vitamins, eat healthy foods, and make sure to keep your hands washed and your apartmentdorm disinfected on a daily basis. |
