    BEING PREPARED DISCUSSION 1: COMMON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS


    We have all heard the saying… “If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail”. What do you think this means? Hear what
    students have to say.
    What kind of questions do you think we’re gonna get?
    When it comes to interviews, what do you think we should be prepared for? So, what kind of things are there
    surrounding the event, that you think we need to be preparing for? Ask students and have them engage with How would we answer these questions?
    each other. Ask follow up questions too on related matters. Prompt from below. Follow up with, and how would
    you prepare for that?
    Tell me about yourself question: Elevator pitch, if it’s not on your cover letter don’t
    Questions: company and industry related (research the company and the main people), situational questions mention it.
    (using the star technique), experience related questions (review your resume)
    Situational questions need some structure and order to answer them. The STAR
    Unforeseen circumstances: accidents and severe allergies (update emergency contacts), emergencies (know
    who to call for late arrivals or cancellations) technique … situational, task, action, result

    General: out its (smart clothing for the role), travel and journey (note traf ic and time, weather and road closures). Key takeaway: Know yourself! Sometimes we go blank in an interview, which is normal
    Assessment centres: group discussion
    but a good preparation skill we can do is in the form of mind mapping.

    Now that we’ve got the main stuff out the way, let’s go a little deeper into some of these things we’ve
    discussed right now.

    DISCUSSION 2: PRESENTATION DISCUSSION 3: COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
    When I say presentation, what comes to mind? Listen to inputs by students.
    We’ve talked about the main things so now let’s talk about the not so main things. What are some
    How do you think we can present ourselves professionally? Listen to inputs by students. Wait until misconceptions of interviews you think people have? So in other words, what do you think people
    someone says one of the below then elaborate on it, if not, prompt it. misunderstand about an interview, that really… is not that deep? Hear what students have got to say and
    ask them why? If it’s quiet use prompt from below, if one says the point then piggyback off it.
    Prompt : How do you think we should look like? What should we be wearing?
    Prompt: do you think in an interview you’re not allowed to ask any questions?
    Prompt: How should we be communicating with the interviewer?
    1. Asking questions: You’re there to ind out if you would like to be there too. Understand why you’re
    Verbal communication: iller words, taking a breath, enunciate your words asking the questions you’re asking. What do you want to know about that place? This is why you must do
    your research, it’s your future and your team that you’re working with! As a side note, what questions do
    Non verbal communication: body language, eye contact you think are important to ask your interviewer? Development opportunities and promotions.

    Stress management is a big part of professionalism too. Being nervous is normal but you don’t wanna Prompt: Do you think you’ve got the job if you’ve got the highest grades?
    look too super scared. How do you think we can manage this?
    2. High grades = better job or you got the job. Nope! It’s mostly about you. Your personality (on how you
    Let’s do a quick exercise! Breathe in drop shoulders breathe out. How do you feel? deal with people) and experience within a working environment, shapes the quality of your output which
    is your work and is what gets you the job. Use the example of a commercial manager who is general and
    knows about the site and the labourers, as opposed to a manager with no experience.

    CONCLUSION
    We’ve discussed broadly the main parts of an interview and also the small things. Our discussion
    involved the constituents of preparations, such as what to do before an interview, we talked about
    managing our professionalism which includes verbal and non verbal communication and inally
    some misconceptions that we overcame together.

    So to wrap things up… let’s share a golden nugget! Anyone know what a golden nugget is? *look
    around and see for input*. A golden nugget is basically a piece of wisdom, it’s some gold advice that
    will help us on our journey!

    What’s everyone’s golden nugget for interviews? And I’ll start!

    Here’s mine: be yourself. You’ll be exactly where you need to be if you stay true to yourself. If you are
    honest with yourself, you will ind a job in a place which re lects you, be it values or personality and
    that will be your yellow brick road to success.
