On March 13, some of the sophomores and juniors taking marketing class participate in mock interviews at the Poteet Hall. Many people came from various businesses in Pawnee City to talk to the students about the company and the job. The interviewers gave the students excellent tips and tricks for their future interviews.
When asked about the mock interviews, Anna Meints stated, “I learned that in an interview, you shouldn't be afraid of your weaknesses as long as they aren't brought up continuously. You should also learn what the job looks for, so if you're shy and applying for a consumer service job, don't talk about being shy a lot. Turn your bad traits into good traits. ("I'm introverted so I like to mind my own business.") I liked the way that each interviewer would talk about the pros and cons of working at the job. In the future, I don't see myself working for any of my interviewers, but I did learn a lot about both their jobs and how interviews work.”
