Interview Lesson with Michael Chow

One day, a representative from the Wood Tobe-Coburn School, Micheal Chow came to speak with the two CTE classes at the CCEC of our school. One of which is the Web Designg that I'm in. He taught us many interviewing lessons. But the first and most important thing is to be open minded. He first told us how we should dress. Wearing a blue navy suit, white shirt and a red tie for guys, just like our president-elect, Donald Trump. Guys also have to take care of their hair to look sharper. Girls should wear heels to their confidence. They should also tie their hair up to shoe their face and neck to show that they do not have tattoos. He said that employers might not like it and it might leave a bad impression on them.

He also taught us how to talk and how to use good body languages. He say we should not move around while we talk, and also don't say ''um'' all the time. He even randomly picked students to practice their self introduction and hand shake during the beginning of an interview. I'm surprised that most students don't even know how to shake hands properly. He said that er have to get ready while the employer is coming towards you, let them introduce themselves first so you know who they are. Give a nice and firm handshake and remain good eye contact, not look else where. And say your own name nice and slowly. Is was the part I messed up on while I was chosen. I don't know why but I feel awkward saying my own name while I was shaking his hand. I always feel weird saying my own name. And I was not looking at his eyes. But everything else is fine. I just need to improve on whatever I need to improve on.
