Weak or Strong? courtesy photobucket.com |
At my daughter Judie’s suggestion, I joined a class of, “Seniors,”
who were looking for work.
My previous work experience for many years had been working
for my husband. It had been awhile since
I needed to write a resume, or appear for a job interview.
Our teacher taught us to find descriptive words about our
work ethic that we could claim as true, such as “dependable, trustworthy, team
player, follow instructions,” and such.
She suggested we include some of these strong words in our
resume. She had us watch a movie on an
interview to give us an idea what we were in for.
Another thing she did for us was to give us a clue as to
“hard questions,” we might be asked on an interview. Here are a few that we might expect - - -
What do you plan to be doing in five years?
Why should we hire you and not someone else?
What are your strengths?
What are your weaknesses?
While we were enjoying the class our teacher brought in a
guest speaker from the local hospital.
She explained there are over 200 jobs in a hospital besides being a
Doctor or a Nurse. She listed several of
the available jobs, and it caught my attention big time.
I applied for the offered “Health Class,” that required me
to show up for an interview just like applying for a job.
Yes, they asked many of the “hard questions, and”My answers
were,
In five years I plan to be working in the Health Field in
this county.
You should accept me because I am dependable and follow
directions.
My strengths are that I am a fast learner and I am a team
player.
Next came the question I had been fearing, “And what is your
weakness?
I looked the interviewer in the eye and spoke up boldly.
“My weakness is chocolate.”
She laughed, and said, “Mine is chocolate too.”
That clinched the interview and I was accepted.
