During the monthly meeting for April, the Ambassadors received beneficial, worthwhile information with respect to interviewing skills. In a workshop presented by Career Services at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, we determined how to effectively answer interview questions by identifying our competencies and strengths. We learned to prepare appropriate questions to ask employers at the conclusion of the interview as well. We also considered the importance of dressing professionally and demonstrating proper nonverbal communication qualities, such as making eye contact and facial expressions, maintaining good posture, and giving a firm handshake. Lastly, we evaluated the significance of thank you notes in order to remind the interviewer of one’s interest and qualifications for the position and express gratitude for his or her time and attention. With this newfound knowledge, the Ambassadors will be able to ace their interviews in the future and leave a lasting impression with the interviewer!
