Entry 1: 2/24/08
Jobs, jobs, jobs! That's the only thing that seems to be on my mind lately. With my senior year of college coming to an end, I have been worried about getting an internship, and after that finding a job particularly with my projected career choice. The process of interviewing is another topic that I have been worrying about lately. I will be interviewing for internship positions in May and I don't really know how to prepare. I have had interviews before, but they haven't been anything too difficult. Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time when you experienced a challenging situation and how you handled it, and some other situational questions are mainly what I have experienced so far. I recently interviewed for the Child Life practicum position at the Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines. There were several questions and one of them was "what is your communication style?" I tried not to let it show on my face, but inside I was like..uh what does that mean? I answered the question, but I don't really remember what I said! It must have went okay, because I got a call the next week and was offered the position:) From my experiences so far, I feel that I am a good interviewer. However, I am nervous about interviewing for more highly skilled jobs and positions. I'm guessing the questions are more difficult!?!

I am also worried about that. It seems like a lot of people in my classes are much more prepared than I am. I don't really know how to get prepared? All of the jobs I have had were part time and not as important as my real career will be.
I wish that I was an expert when it comes to jobs and getting a job that deals with interns, but i'm not any where close to that. I really haven't had much experience with it as I am going to farm when I get done with school. Wish ya the best of luck.
Sounds like you got the job interview part down. I wish I could say the same thing because I tend to get nervous for interviews. Good luck to you with that job.
Interviewing is a scary thing. If I was relaxed I could just carry on a formal conversation...but that is easier said than done
