  1. I loved the guest speaker's advice! I found it really helpful when she told us what things they aren't allowed to ask us in an interview. Such as have we ever been arrested or do we plan on having children.

  7. I most definitely enjoyed Ms. Harrison presentation because it gave me a better understanding about interview and what they mostly look for. Specially, "tell me about yourself question" was always difficult for me to answer. She really prepare me for the next interview I attend.

  12. The guest speaker taught us how to combat interview questions that can give employers a negative impression of you. Instead of giving in to what they are trying to find out divert the attention back to your accomplishments and positive traits. -Angelica Thornton

  36. During this lecture I learned a lot of the things that I thought were okay to do during an interview actually weren't. I also learned that its good to practice interviewing before the actual interview. Its a big help to do research on the company you are interviewing for which I didn't know.
