WBL Workshop #3

The interview skills workshop in my opinion has been the most important and useful one we've had through the course of these years. Specially because we did this during our last semester of high school which just gives us a better reason to prepare for the future which is no far but now a few weeks away from us entering the real world so we want to make sure that we are as prepare as we could be. The workshop was conducted by Ms. Lopez who brought in a special guest Mr. Michael Chao. Mr. Chao is a master of business administration graduate and he came in to basically give us tips for certain interview skills. Some of the things Mr. Chao taught us was how to properly handshake a person to either greet or introduce yourself to a person. This is important because at the beginning I only felt like there was a single way to shake hands with someone and well thought it was nothing but to grab the other persons hand and simply shake it. Chao thought us that it was way more than that. That there is a certain posture one needs to keep, that there is a certain amount of force that one should use, that there are certain key words that one should use to sound professional and simply so many more things that will highly benefit us. I feel like mostly it was the fact that we got the experience more than anything and that now we can say that we are ready for this.
