Share how you're planning to use reflection in developing your e-Portfolio content pagesShare your understanding of reflection. How is it different from description?
In developing my e-portfolio, I would try and reflect on the experience I have obtained in my field to convey an understanding of my skills I have learned through out school. I plan on discussing many of the projects I did throughout my college career. While discussing these assignments I will be reflecting on what I learned which will help to demonstrate my knowledge in all my areas of study. I will also try and reflect on the knowledge of my profession though many years of study of health sciences, commerce, and psychology so I am comfortable and confident when conversing with a potential future employer.
A description of yourself doesn’t always describe you in enough detail. It helps to reflect on and include past experiences, how you handled them and what was the outcome. Both clients and employers want to see real world experience and how you acted in past reflections.

Share how you're planning to use reflection in developing your e-Portfolio content pagesShare your understanding of reflection. How is it different from description?
I will use reflection in my research e-portfolio specifically in my personal statement. I will use the things that I have done and reflect on how they have changed my life and made me decide on what it is that I am doing after I finish at UCF.
I think that this is different from description because I am not describing what it is that I have done or am going to be doing I am going using the things that I have done and telling how they have helped me to find my passions and desires.

Interviewing Part 2
Discuss the best way to answer some of the standard and non-standard interview questions?
To answer standard questions in effective ways I think that you need to be able try to make your answers stand out from others because I’m sure that they hear the same sort of answers over and over if it is standard interview. For non-standard interviews I think the best way is to be you because in a case like this if it is non-standard I think that is what they are looking for. To really figure out who you are and what you can bring to the table so don’t hold back everything and show you are an individual like their interview style.
How to deal with phone interview and panel interviews?
Dealing with phone interviews I think you need to make sure to listen and not interrupt what the person is saying because it can be easily done and very irritating. And as far as panel interviews I think the best way to handle these is to act as relaxed as possible because to me they are really high stress, try to think of it as a group of people talking and make sure to look at every person in the panel not down which for me would be very tempting.
When is the time to talk about salary?
I think they best time to talk about salary would be if there is a second or third interview and if not once you are being offered the job on a first interview because if there is a second or third interview it is mostly a very good sign and you don’t want to waste yours or their time if they aren’t going to pay you enough and if there is only one interview I don’t really see any other time when you can considering because you don’t want it to be the first thing that you say.

Discuss the best way to answer some of the standard and non-standard interview questions?
Typical interview questions such as your background should be answered in a way that portrays your overall greatest strengths. With questions that ask about how you handled a difficult situation, you may want to answer by telling a straight to the point story that shows how you were able to diffuse or correct these altercations. Non-standard interview questions may often throw applicants of guard. The reason for this being to see how you react when put on the spot. Be prepared with quick responses to unexpected questions.
How to deal with phone interview and panel interviews?
Be prepared to think, dress, and act just as you would in a face to face interview. Just because you don’t have to physically show up doesn’t mean that it’s not just as important as the real thing. Speak clearly and steer clear of awkward silences. Be a responsive listener.
When is the time to talk about salary?
Questions about salary should not be asked until the job has been offered to you. You don’t want to give the wrong impression that you only want this position because of the money. Employers want to see that you have some interest in the job for which you have applied.

Interview Post, Jessica and Janelle
Interviewing Part 1
Overall, I believed the interview questions to be very straight forward in getting to know a potential employee’s past experiences and future goals. The strength in my responses was focused on the ability to adapt to different types of people and environments while still bringing a positive attitude and insightful ideas to the table. Some questions only needed to be answered in a short sentence or two while others needed a little more detail in explanation. In a real life interview I could improve on the promptness in which I answer the questions as I would not have as much time to think about my choice of words. I think this exercise would have been more fun and beneficial to me if I had a webcam to add a realistic element to the interview. As far as the alternate response go, I feel that there are a number a good ways to answer an interview question depending on the individual and the job for which they are applying. If I could pass along a piece of advice to a future interviewee, it would be to practice because you don’t want to be caught off guard when talking face to face with your potential employer.http://www.perfectinterview.com/online/text_viewer.asp?id=B415B692-3AC2-4614-AEDA-39631207DBC6&mediatype=wmv&type=S

I think the most problematic question for me was the one that asked about how I applied common knowledge to solve a work problem. Other than that I feel that most of the questions were standard interview questions and not so difficult to answer. My answers were rather brief in comparison to the answers that were provided. I do feel that tools like this are great to use because they allow you to think about things that you probably have not thought about before a interview and they allow you to not be put on the spot.
These are my interviews:
