MKTG 347 - Week 4 - WCIYP/Social Media Marketing Chapter 3

Job-hunting can be stressful and nerve-wracking because there is so much pressure on you to impress the employer in order for them to potentially hire you. Job-hunting can be a whole job itself. Many hours of preparation are required in order to land the specific job each person is looking for. Whether it is practicing what you're going to say in front of the mirror, researching specific information on the company you are interviewing for, gathering information on the owner or CEO of the company, all of those options take time and rehearsal in order to feel mentally prepared for the interview.

What I really enjoyed reading about was the fact that we as the person being interviewed do not need to feel powerless when interacting with the employer interviewing us. The employer has more power than us during the interview process, but that does not mean you as the interviewee do not need to feel powerless. When the company wants to hire you, the final decision from there comes down to the interviewee, not the interviewer. Both books made great points that I did not really think about at first. I am currently going through the interview process myself and this made me feel a lot better about the upcoming interviews I have.
