Unit 9: Preparing for Job Interviews

This week in class, we talked about how to talk about your talents and skills in a job interview.

You can state a quality about yourself, then give an example of how that quality fits you, based on your experience. You practiced these while you were being interviewed for some unusual jobs.

CLICK HERE to see more information about how to use PRESENT PERFECT verb tenses (for describing your experience).

Now, find a job you think you would like to do. The job-hunting website Monster.com lets you find real job postings in your area of interest. CLICK HERE to try out their "career-mapping" tool. It's fun!



When you find a job posting you like, try to think about how you would describe your qualities and skills for the position. Then, post the JOB TITLE with your description of YOUR QUALITIES and EXAMPLES FROM EXPERIENCE below. Please make your post at least 50 words.

This blog entry is a little difficult, but it could be very useful in your real life! Good luck.
