Another idea I was very skeptical about are interview seminars- however, as a part of this internship blog I was required to attend the events held by career services. Im skeptical of seminars on interviewing- because I feel like the ability to interview well is something that you just naturally have, its all about your charisma and of course what you have to offer the company. I felt that the seminar didn't really add anything to the information I already had in regards to interviewing well.
Some of the topics they touched on were communicating effectively, for instance don't over prepare to the point where you are just spewing out facts and not communicating how you really add to what the company already has done and what you could do.
The one concept I definitely did not consider was scheduling. They mentioned when scheduling make sure to be either first or last in the list of interviewers. Being first or last makes you a lot more memorable then those that were in between.
All in all the seminar could be useful to people who are new to interviewing, but I feel like if you have had a few experiences in interviewing these are all things you learn very quickly.
