Proper Etiquette for Interviews

An example of how to dress for an interview

Today our class had a speaker come in to explain more about the process of interviewing for jobs. Although I have had multiple interviews throughout my short career the speaker today gave incredibly helpful tips on how to succeed in a job interview that I found incredibly informative. The lecture today was especially relevant since I will be interviewing for internships soon. I will also graduate in December and will have to begin a job hunt if I decide not to go to graduate school.

The speaker today also gave a couple of websites that would be useful for searching for internships, something I will undoubtedly use since I am looking for an internship for the summer.
The speaker today asked some of us mock questions, that I have been asked in interviews before, and critiqued our responses to the question in order to isolate potential weaknesses for an interview. I found this part of the lecture to be especially useful on my part since I was told that I tend to sell myself short a bit and need to work on that for interviews. The speaker also gave advice on proper dress etiquette for an interview. Thanks to the advice given to me today I will be better prepared for when I have my next interview.
