The Center for Calling and Career Exploration hosted their second dorm night in Williams Hall on March 15. The session focused on interviewing techniques.
Amanda Ruble, the Institute for Servant Leadership assistant, gave a short
explanation of the interviewing process which was followed by mock interviewing
done by the CCCE’s guest speaker, Nathan Jenkins of the Mutual Financial
Network.
“Often times, even though a person is highly qualified and ideal for a job, a
bad interview can separate them from this opportunity,” Ruble said. “It is
important to know what kind of questions will be a part (of the interview) and
the appropriate way to answer them.”
Ten to 15 students were expected to attend, but only four undergraduate students
attended. They discussed both general and specific tips for interviewing in the
real world and performed mock interviews.
“I asked each student personally if this and other services that we offer are
valuable learning opportunities and they replied ‘yes’,” said Ruble.
The CCCE will hold another dorm night on April 5, entitled “College Graduate
101.”
According to Ruble the night “will allow seniors to get an idea of what they
might encounter as they enter for the first time into the real world.”
