Last night was the BMA event at Manpower Inc. in Milwaukee. Personally, I felt that the evening was a success. Getting tips on how to better your professional self is always helpful. Especially when you're a college student trying to look for internships or jobs and trying to figure out what will make you stand out in the crowd. It also helped that we were able to get our resumes reviewed by more than one professional and interview with more than one professional. Personally, each professional that I spoke to had different tips and suggestions for me to walk away with. The part of the event that I liked the best/was most nervous for was the interviewing process. At first I was very nervous for the questions that I would be asked and I wasn't sure if I would be able to think on my feet. I feel like this part of the night was the most successful because I was able relax knowing that it wasn't an actual job interview. I liked that each professional had comment cards and were able to rate you on each aspect of the interview and still had time to personally give you tips on how to better your interviewing skills. Five minutes may not have seemed like a lot of time, but I learned a lot about myself in each five minute section. Overall, I had a great time and was thankful that I was able to meet as many professionals as I did.

I agree that the interview process was nerve racking. I got asked a few questions that I had no clue how I was going to respond to, but it all went okay. It was a great learning experience though, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteCourtney,
ReplyDeleteI was also very nervous about the interview part of the night but definitely agree that it was a good experience. Knowing that they were there to help us in bettering our skills made me feel a lot better. The feedback was a great thing to get as well and I think we will all be a lot more prepared the next time we have an interview or have to submit a resume!
