- [00:00:07.850]My name is Andrea Vasquez and I'm a senior News Ed, Broadcasting and Spanish major
- [00:00:12.690]and when I'm getting ready for an interview, first I put together my packet,
- [00:00:16.420]I get my resume, my cover letter and my clips and I also research the company
- [00:00:21.290]or paper or station I'm applying for so that I can show that I'm really interested in
- [00:00:26.450]that internship specifically
- [00:00:28.160]and ask intelligent questions about the internship
- [00:00:32.820]and the company and show that I really invested
- [00:00:37.370]in this to the recruiter or the interviewer and the day
- [00:00:41.129]of I make sure to wear something looks professional
- [00:00:44.530]also sensible I wouldn't wear my huge heels to an interview
- [00:00:48.350]and I think about questions that they might ask me and so
- [00:00:53.659]some that is based on past interviews i've done, a lot of things that
- [00:00:57.559]come up are
- [00:00:58.610]examples of your work and stories the
- [00:01:01.640]things that you've done and experiences you've had
- [00:01:04.959]also what are your strengths and weaknesses those are pretty common
- [00:01:08.820]but also things more specific to what that
- [00:01:13.010]company is about and things that they might ask about
- [00:01:16.680]related to that or related to the packet that I've given them
- [00:01:20.890]and I just had to make sure to be a few minutes early
- [00:01:24.390]and try to be as calm as I can
- [00:01:27.840]and hope that I prepared well that helps with
- [00:01:30.969]my calmness and my confidence if
- [00:01:34.250]I do freeze up that one thing I've heard is to rephrase the question
- [00:01:38.229]and in your answer because it buys you a couple seconds
- [00:01:41.969]and try not to stutter too much
- [00:01:45.420]and some time I'll just sorta start talking
- [00:01:49.060]and as I'm going I'll start off vague and give myself
- [00:01:53.490]time to kinda think through and answer
- [00:01:56.490]and sometimes I'll joke around a little bit and show
- [00:01:59.499]that I have a personality and it also kinda eases
- [00:02:03.060]the tension and then I can kinda come around
- [00:02:06.130]to uh
- [00:02:10.060]a comprehensible answer
