The best way to get information about a career is to go interview a professional! They can tell you anything you want to know as well as the questions to ask at an interview. Some questions you may want to ask them are:
- How did you become involved in this profession?
- What course work and training prepared you for your job?
- What should I do to prepare for this career?
- What do you like least/most about this job?
- What do you do in a typical day?
- What is the short- and long-term career outlook for this profession?
- Can you recommend any books, magazines, or websites about this profession?
- What type of personality traits seem to work best in this career?
After learning these questions by interviewing the professionals, you can truly understand what a specific career is about and if you fit in with crowd. You can use these tools to find out more about the world around you and use the answers to aim your career to making the world a better place.
Dear John,
ReplyDeleteI never thought about saying yes on an interview when asked if I had any more questions. Now that you stated why it's important I'm more aware on how to conduct my self at an interview. Thank you for the tips.
I will hopefully be attending several interviews after I graduate in May! Don't forget the value of role play. Have a friend interview you for the position you want, and practice everything from not fidgeting, to really knowing yourself, what you want, and why you are the best for the job and answer with confidence!
ReplyDeleteIts Jordan and thanks lol
ReplyDeletenice job....just a tad of voice needed. Good but again more voice. Use "I" and tell your story as it relates to your topic. And don't forget a catchy title to get the attention of your reader.
ReplyDeleteI love the toondoo!!
