News
30 second commercial
<p>When your interviewer asks why you are the person for the position or why should I
hire you, you must sell yourself. Your answer must be short and to the point. Your
answer should highlight areas from your background that relate to current needs and
problems. Recap the interviewer's job description, meeting it point by point with your
skills. So in other words, come up with a 30 second commercial to sell yourself to the
interviewer. This simple exercise will help you be prepared. Take the job description
and then match your skills and abilities to it.</p>
<p><b>Example Job Description:</b>
<br><font size="-1">GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES: Tutor will provide academic
assistance for specific subjects and provide information on study skills to individuals
(one-to-one interaction) and some small group settings.<br>
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: High school diploma or equivalent and at least 30
credit hours of college course work. A grade of at least B in course(s) or subject(s)
desired to tutor. Prefer individuals who are capable of tutoring in more than one
subject.<br>
ANTICIPATED HIRING SALARY: $7.00 to $9.00 per hour<br>
CLOSING DATE: Open until filled. Applications will be reviewed beginning
immediately.</font></p>
<b><center>"So, why should we hire you for this tutoring position?"</center></b>
<p>I feel that I am very qualified for this tutoring position here at the college. I tutored
my junior and senior year in high school for ten hours a week. I attended a nine-hour
tutoring seminar on study tactics, stress management, test anxiety, and improving your
scores and grades. I am experienced in working one-on-one and also conducting group
studies. I have completed 35 credit hours here at the college and have maintained over a
B average in all my classes. I am more than willing and able to tutor in more than one
subject. I will tutor in English, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Math or wherever
needed.</p>
<b><font size="-1">Note: Even if you are asked questions that cover all of these topics,
it is good to reinforce that you are more than qualified.</font></b>
