I learned that preparing for an interview isn't just about having a plan for how to answer the question; it's about knowing yourself well enough that you can answer anything they ask.
I think it's really good that the College is requiring an introduction to internships and learning about the application/hiring process. I know people my age always think there is so much time, and we don't need to start, but it goes by quickly, so having knowledge is important.
I learned how to do an interview. If I went to an interview before having taken this class, I would have been blindsided and done very poorly. I found it to be very helpful. I did an interview two days after we spent time in class learning about interviews, and I got the position I was looking for! After getting that position, I then had to interview my peers for another position that opened up, and I could tell that over half of the people we interviewed used tips and techniques we had learned in this class. Overall this is a very good experience for those who choose to make the most of it.
"If anyone would ask me what to do in college, I would tell them to do everything. Get as much experience as you can. Meet people and do things. Take advantage of all college has to offer."
