The Power Of An Interview

As it gets closer to graduation, the pressure is on to get that "big girl job". Really I'm just thinking I need a good paying job to pay back those ridicules student loans that have built up over the past few year! As it gets closer to graduation, I have applied to a few places but haven't had that job offering that jumps out at me and says "this is the job for you!" I want to work in marketing, not sales. A lot of jobs that are listed in the area under marketing are really just a sales job under a fancy title. Sales is just not for me! I currently work for my boyfriend Kenny's company where I am kinda the jack of all trades. I love working for him, but its time for me to spread my wings and do something diffrent.

As I prep for graduation, I have been helping him kinda restructure the way he runs things. (I'm a business major, so I should be of sum assistance…) We are hiring for a service writer that will kinda take over what I do and be more involved in each vehicles work progress as well as hiring another mechanic.

I set up some ads on craigslist and have gotten quite a few applicants. Now I find myself on the other end of the job search spectrum. I am now on the hiring side of things instead of the one trying to land the job. As I look over cover letters and resume, I find myself being kinda harsh on what people are sending me. I believe I have learned a lot here at MSU on how to write a good resume, cover letter and how to be prepared to go into an interview.

I'm kinda excited to be on the other side of the table and start this interview process. You can bet that when the interview is almost over and I ask "Do you have any questions for me?" and the replay I get is "No". That application will be going to the bottom of the stack!
