Q: Have you ever participated in a job interview? After the interview, did you think about your strengths and weaknesses in your answers, body language or attire (how you dressed for the interview)? What were your impressions of the process? How did your clothes compare to the interviewers? What did you learn about the organization?  Did you feel like you would fit in ? Why or why not?
Did you send a thank you note (card or e-mail) to thank the organization for their time?

Why do you think people are nervous before and during interviews? What is the hardest part about interviewing?
