After all, you want to make the best impression you can. But as a new graduate, you have an added challenge: little formal job experience. You need to prove to the employer that your studies and university experiences relate to the job you&#8217;re seeking.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;ll cover some ways to help you connect your college experiences to an employer&#8217;s job requirements. We&#8217;ll look at making introductions and explaining ground rules and interview format. We&#8217;ll also look at two types of common questions &#8211; &#8220;tell me about yourself?&#8221; and discussing your education.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll meet Owen, who just got his master&#8217;s in electrical engineering. He&#8217;s originally from Chengdu, China, a city 2,000 kilometers west of Shanghai. But he moved to Shanghai for graduate school and has decided to stay here for work.  He&#8217;s interviewing for a test engineer position at IBH, an electronics company.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s meeting is a panel interview. This means a group of people will be asking the questions. So we&#8217;ll also meet Erica, who&#8217;s in charge of recruiting for IBH, and two of her colleagues: George, an engineering manager, and Cindy, a new HR manager.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listening Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\tWhy do you think George is handling the technical aspects of the interview?<br \/>\n2.\tWhat are two qualities or transferable skills that Owen mentions?<br \/>\n3.\tWhat does Owen say about his university&#8217;s approach to learning?<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Premium Members: <a
