WHVRP Job Club on 02.06.2013

We plan to do a round table mock interview exercise.  Each veteran will need to bring:
  • Some form of a resume. It does not need to be fancy or complete. If you want to schedule time to work on your resume between now and then ... PLEASE email me.
  • Bring three questions you believe would make good interview questions to ASK a candidate.
  • Bring one question you hate to have to answer. For whatever reason, this question has come up in interviews and it always makes you uncomfortable. This gives you some time to practice the impossible to answer question.
Think about how you would answer these questions:
  • Why should an employer take a chance on you?
  • Tell me about your network.
  • I see you have worked for XYZ Company. Tell me about an accomplishment you made there that you are proud of.
  • Tell us about your problem solving methods.
  • Where do you hope to be working in 3 years?
