Hiring

1. What I expected to learn about this topic before class were what are some of the things one should and should not say during an actual interview. Also some of the types of questions that one might encounter while in an actual interview. 

2. Some of the things that I actually learned in class was why the interviewer might ask specific questions. What are they looking for in terms of responses from us. The importance of playing the "game" in terms of giving them the answers that they are looking for. I also learned the importance of making strong powerful statements about yourself and your past experiences and making them relevant to the situation. 

3. The biggest thing that I will utilize is the idea of making sure that I am prepared for an interview and that I practice questions and responses before an interview making sure I put the companies goals into those responses. 

4. In all I think it was a very helpful and useful class. Even though I currently have a job I will be looking for many more jobs through out the rest of my life, so I have many more interviews to come. The more one prepares himself for an interview the better off that person is, and I think thats exactly what this lesson did for me.
