Hi guys! It's been awhile! If you
realize, I've been collaborating with Libresse for years and still
counting, and I'm here to talk a lil bit about my recent project with
Libresse!
I'm now 22 and I bet most of you who
reads my blog since the day I started are have no graduated from
college. I remember blogging about school and things like that and
now slowly, I'm an adult. It's like you know you are out of the whole
teenager phase when you step into your first job interview.
I'm not sure about you but I remember I
failed my first job interview and another few after that lolll. I
didn't take it seriously. I didn't know there is so much to prep for
job interviews and all I knew was to dress presentable loll.
Apparently there's more to do and check before going to an interview.
It's really important how you make the first impression to the
company, either they buy it or they hate it.
Of course, you have to act differently
when you interview for different types of job but having the cheerful
and positive mindset is a big plus to most companies. I think no one
wants to hire a sad person. Confidence is the point!
Anyway, if you have no idea why you
failed your interviews, you can check out “Hello,
Confidence” by Libresse. It's a site where
you can learn how to prep for your job interviews. First things
first, learn how to dress for your interview. You can also learn
about hair and make-up tutorial by Cheeserland, and other helpful
videos on this page.
You can also upload your outfit and get
rated to see which is a go-go and which is a no-go.
Next, after you get your perfect
outfit, there's some great tips for you before facing your first job
interview.
So much to learn!!!
First you can check out their checklist
to see what you need to prepare for your job interview. I think one
of the most important things to have is a list of questions that you
could ask about my job or the company. This leaves a good impression
on yourself as you’ll look prepared and highly interested in the
particular job. Also, you’ll get to understand the company more and
consider further if it’s the right job for you.
You can also take a look at interview
Do’s and Don’ts and try to avoid as many Don’ts as possible!
Sometimes even the smallest thing can leave a very bad impression on
yourself. For example, it’s always a must to be at the interview at
least 10 minutes earlier. Being on time is fine, but being late even
for 5 minutes is a no-no lolll you don’t want to give the
interviewer the impression that you’re not a punctual person.
Do check out the FAQs for answers to
common questions asked during interviews. For example, don’t most
of us want to know if we should follow up on the interview cos that
would make us look desperate? You can find out the answer here
loll and remember to read the other FAQs too.
You can also learn how to rock your
interview by keeping the conversation going. I think it's important
to own the conversation and keep things hyped. It's really bad when
your interview is boring and awkward. Which happened to me on my
first interview when my anxiety kicked in and all I wanted was to do
end the interview quickly :/
The part where I hated the most was
when the interviewer asked “Tell me about yourself.. ”. My mind
literally went blank cuz I have 0 confidence about myself. I have no
idea what's good about me. I gave an awkward smile and it's a very
bad closure for my interview. So if you're wondering how to react, go
on to the site to see how people rocked their pitch about themselves.
I basically think the key point is to sound confident but not full of
yourself. Keep it real.
