Make up work for 연웅



Below are several videos by Brian Krueger about interviewing. An interview is form of "presenting." Notice the way Brian moves his hands and the way he pauses, stretches and emphasizes words.

Provide a brief summary of all 10 of them, emphasizing any new words that you might not have known before. An example is given below. Email me your 10 summaries before 4PM on Friday at english@sejong.ac.kr

1. Tell me about yourself
2. Eye Contact
3. First Steps
4. IQ and EQ
5. Power of the Pause
6. Passion
7. Interviewing Clue
8. Clothing at an Interview
9. Sound Bites
10. Overcoming Nervousness

Example:
A Non-Verbal (Smile)



A Non-Verbal: The most important "non-verbal" (non-spoken)indication of who you are is your smile. Most people are unaware of this at all. Brian suggests that we take a good long look at your face in the mirror, especially your smile. You should try to develop a warm and genuine smile. You don’t need to keep that smile "plastered" (painted) on your face. Just "come back to it" (do it again) from time to time during the interview.

Don't merely repeat what he says. Summarize.

"Tell me about yourself" -- Interview question: Final presentation

Here is a video I want you to watch for your final presentation. This is a very difficult interview question. When an interviewer asks you this, they do not want some boring stuff about your family or hometown. They are looking to hear what 'attributes' you have, and concrete examples. Go to this page and look at the list of "positive qualities" (attributes). There are more than that, actually. Here are more (Some, like 'racy' and 'political' might not be so positive). Find 3 that apply to you. Be honest with yourself. You also want to give an example of each attribute. For example I would say that I am a "creative" teacher in my writing classes. And I would then give actual examples with concrete details. No beam projector, no Power Point. LOL! Your presentation should be 2- 2:30 mins. No more!
