Today we started with these two questions:
1. What are some tricks/techniques that you have learned at school or on the job to make your life easier or your work more effective? (Talk briefly and specifically about skills you learned that make you an effective worker. EX: I learned early that long-term projects need to be divided into small parts and addressed daily).
2. Give an example of a specific time when you complied with a policy you didn't agree with. Why? (Explain the policy briefly and why you disagreed with it. Be sure to show why you complied with it.)
We talked about the strategy for managing the "Tell me about yourself" question. Start by:
a. Identify yourself. (I'm John Jones)
b. Give your current status. (I'm a senior accounting major at Washington State University in Pullman. I'll be graduating this spring.)
c. Give a bit about your background. (I've been in this country for about 5 years. I'm originally from China.)
d. Give a bit about your future. (I'm looking forward to finding a position in tax accounting).
e. Give your particular professional interests. (I enjoy tax accounting, esp. across cultures).
f. Give your "also" information. (Meeting people from other cultures is something I enjoy doing. I enjoy working with people from many different backgrounds. I speak Chinese, so that makes it easy.)
g. Ask if the interviewer would like some more information. (What other information can I give you about myself?)
We formed the teams for the third paper. Persons who weren't there today will be randomly assigned a team on Wednesday. I DO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT I AM TAKING ATTENDANCE AND SOME OF YOU HAVE SOME REAL ATTENDANCE ISSUES.
By Monday of next week, you group should have met once and decided on a focus for the website you will develop.
