COMM 1111 Introduction to Interviewing

This workshop course will provide students with an opportunity to strengthen their interviewing skills so they will have a strong chance of obtaining a job that fits their education, interests, and strengths. Students will learn how to analyze job listings and prospective employers so that they can adapt their cover letters, resumes, interview answers, and nonverbal communication to each unique opportunity. Students will work in small critique groups to evaluate each other's work and provide feedback. Further, they will foster an understanding of the overt and hidden consequences of unethical interviewing practices and demonstrate what to do when others involved in the interviewing process are unethical.
