I chose my brother because he graduated from SDSU as a civil engineer, working in the city. I asked him because he got an interview for his job, and he made everything from scratch, his resume, how to dress, what to do and not to do. He said to dress properly and not overly dress. Make eye contact, and shake their hand when you walk in. Make sure not to stutter. Make sure not to say etc in your answers. Ask equations about the place you are applying to, and make them think you did your research. Make them want you for the job.

Interview #2 (Mrs. Davies)

The thing that I should do is, to make it 10 min before the interview. Do research on the place where you want to get a job. You want to ask questions about the reason why they wanted the job they are in. Ask questions that will make them think that he did do his research. Make sure to shake their hands and make eye contact.

The thing to not do is make it late for the interview. Don't ask questions about when I start my job. do not leave without shaking their hand again. Don't dress poorly, and don't dress overly. Don't ever know the answer to a question. Make sure to say yes I do have questions when they say that to you at the end.

The reason why I chose him is because he works in ECV, he has good talent in dressing, speaking, and in general being a good teacher with students. He has humor like we do, he's on our level which is why he is a good teacher.

Interview #1 (Brother): I asked my brother because he works at a food service place right now and I remember he had interviews he went to for other places as well. He told me that the most important thing is to be confident in your answers and speak your mind. Be respectful and answer with hand gestures using as little time as possible so they know that you know and are sure of your goals, morals, etc. For the dress part, he mentioned a respectable outfit.

Interview #2: (Mr. Trammel): This is my government teacher and I asked him because he obviously had to get interviewed to get the job he has. He told me to not wear an outfit that looks like you didn't care. He said don't dress too low or go way overboard. Dress in the middle of casual and fancy. Dress like you cared about your appearance and like you are meeting your parents-in-law for the first time.

Cousin (#2) My cousin has been to many interviews and he also finished college but in mexico, I asked him what things you should do in an interview he said be prepared, be confident and look professional. He said something you shouldn't do is be LATE ! they don't want to hire someone that will be late and first impression can mean alot, he also mentioned how maintaining eye contact is good and not more around alot or do movement with your fingers, don't show that your are nervous and be confident.
