http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_interview

A job interview is a process in which a potential employee is evaluated by an employer for prospective employment in their company, organization, or firm. During this process, the employer hopes to determine whether or not the applicant is suitable for the job.

Job interviews are always stressful even for job seekers who have gone on countless interviews. The best way to reduce the stress is to be prepared. We should take the time to review the "standard" interview questions so we will most likely be asked. Also review sample answers to these typical interview questions.

The above websites will guide you to be prepared for an interview. They will show you the most important steps to follow and how to succeed in getting the job.

Self-Assesment

Who am I? Everyday people from all around the world ask themselves who they really are. Many people still don’t know who they are and may never know. Self-Assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Many pieces to your question can be found like what are your likes, dislikes, behavior attitude, and habits when you complete this process. By discovering these you can always use this as an advantage by changing your weakness and by accepting your strengths. Self Assessment is an important process in having a successful future.   
Doing this self-assessment on my own communication skills I did not find out that many new things that I already didn’t know myself. I know that I have a little difficult time expressing what I want to say in a room full of new people or new coworkers. I know I tend to not talk about what is on my mind because I am afraid of hurting other people’s feelings I also know that I have the type of attitude that when I become more comfortable in a new place or with new people I will become friendlier, open up, and easier to communicate with.

The following skills are necessary for a successful career. Teamwork, understanding the type of business, interpersonal communication and leadership. Things I plan to work on are prioritizing, and efficiency. I tend to panic when I have multiple jobs to do; so I need to prioritize and work on one thing at a time. Professional development starts with school and career as described above. Some additional items that are important for professional development are a good resume, contact with experts in the field, continuing education ( very important in today’s workforce), certifications, enjoying what you do, and a balance of work, family, and other interest.

Résumé

A résumé  is a document used by individuals to present their background and skillsets. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons but most often to secure new employment. A typical résumé contains a summary of relevant job experience and education. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes job application packet, that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment.

"You Majored in What" Chapter 1 & 2

In “You Majored in What: Mapping Your Path from Chaos to Career” Brooks helps students on the cusp of graduation make sense out of their overwhelming job search. According to Kate Brooks, liberal arts career services director, the answer is: Just about anything you want to do!

Contrary to the traditional myth that liberal arts majors are limited to few career options, Brooks explains how degrees in such fields as English, economics and history can be very marketable to future employers in various sectors. Through practical techniques including visual mapping, storytelling and experimenting, she shows readers how to plot out their career goals and translate their broad field of study in interviews and resumes.

With an emphasis on the mathematical chaos theory, she illustrates how the path to a career can be thrown off course by a key element: the butterfly effect. The concept, built around the premise that little things can have enormous effects, illuminates how seemingly insignificant events can significantly alter a student’s career path. Brooks also uses the chaos theory to show students how to make new connections from the seeming chaos of their lives. One popular aspect of this theory is the butterfly effect: the notion that a small action now can have a dramatic effect in the future.
