Hey guys,
So as most of you know, Monday April 11th here at Hofstra, Ellen Frisina was kind enough to put together a seminar of public relations professionals to come speak to seniors. I am having a CRAZY week with school work (right before spring break yay) and was very close to not going. However, I am so happy that I attended because I got a lot out of it. The event consisted of a panel of 5 hiring managers from PR agencies large and small who let us in on the secrets of landing the job. They spoke about interview ettiquette, the questions you can expect to be asked, and special skills they're looking for in a new hire. The seminar definitely gave me some anxiety because hiring managers and human resources people are not easy to interview with, but I was glad to know that basically, they just want you to be yourself in an interview.
The event was really informative and was a great guide as to the do's and don'ts when it comes to landing an interview and tips and tools to know for during the interview. It all can seem so overwhelming, trying to make sure the interview goes well and you get the job, all while trying to remain calm and be yourself.
ReplyDeleteI also went to the event and found the information extremely useful! The highlight of my evening was definitely hearing Mr. Khan challenge what other hiring panelists said. It just goes to show that the whole process is extremely subjective. The only thing that you can do is prepare yourself well and hopefully leave a lasting impression that will land you the job.
ReplyDeleteI also thought the panel was really informative. They speakers gave a lot of good advice about resumes, cover letters and how to act on interviews. A Eileen said, the hiring process is subjective. We saw how the panelists did not always agree on certain issues.
