I learned something about myself that I hadn’t realized. I also learned that your answers to a lot of questions in an interview can have multiple answers.
What I learned today
In class, we practiced the STAR method. It’s an excellent way to prepare for behavioral interview questions. We also worked on answers to a variety of other types of interview questions.
It was interesting to hear how Carrie and other classmates answered questions.
What I did today 5/15
I started with clocking in at Homebase, where, by the way, I forgot to clock out the day before…. opps. Then we talked about the STAR method. Then, after the break, we worked more on our list of interview questions. Then, after another break, we went around the room, so to speak, and did a few of the questions that were on the interview list we were working on filling out. Then we did a fun little question about talking about what we like to do for fun. Then we started wrapping up for the day, doing our “What I Did Today” post and the CTT Self-assessment, and also clocked out for the day.
What I Did Today
Today in employment services, we discussed using the STAR method to answer interview questions and how to avoid discussing personal issues or life with an interviewer.
What I did today…
I enjoyed learning more about the STAR method to use during a job interview. Thank you, Carrie!
What I Did Today
I enjoyed updating my answers to the Interview Questions and Answers in my job log. I also liked the interview questions that we answered individually in the group. We also discussed questions that are most difficult to answer. It was good feedback and training.
What I did today
Today, we went over using the STAR method during an interview. I worked on the interview questions, and then we practiced some of them.
What I did Today
It is the last day of my internship and is kind of bittersweet. Not going to lie, this was not an easy two months. There were many struggles or thorns along the way but I pushed through and preserved. I have two rose moments. I got my highest typing score which was 45 wpm. My other rose moment is finishing this internship with a sense of acheivement. I am proud of myself for finishing strong. I am truly grateful for this experience and everything I have learned. Thank you to all the CTP staff for being so kind and understanding. I truly appreciate everything and will miss working with you.
