\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 September 27, 2011 \u2013 \u201cI am glad that we could find time to conduct this interview. Why don\u2019t you start off by telling me a little about yourself?\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe question that college students and new job-seekers always know the answer to, yet never know how to respond. It can be difficult to sum up all the important information, touching upon academic accomplishments and mixing in unique experiences, in just a few sentences. Without rehearsal, a qualified applicant\u2019s unorganized response could cost him a job.<\/p>\n


\n溏心vlog免费B站 Career Services and Walgreens have teamed up to sponsor the \u201cTell Me 溏心vlog免费B站 Yourself\u201d video contest. 溏心vlog免费B站 students film their 30- to 60-second responses and upload them to the 溏心vlog免费B站 Career Services Facebook page for a chance to win a cash prize. Videos can be submitted until Oct. 24 at 4:30 p.m. The general public voting period is in session until Oct. 31 at 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n


\nThis is the first time 溏心vlog免费B站 has run this contest. Kate Chroust, a career advisor for Career Services, knew of other organizations that had held similar contests in the past and thought it would be a fun opportunity for 溏心vlog免费B站 students.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cIt\u2019s a simple, but hard question,\u201d said Chroust of the contest topic. \u201cOftentimes, it is an employer\u2019s first impression of a prospective employee. We want students to hone in on their strengths and create a concise, informative pitch that they can actually use when networking and interviewing.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nThe first-place winner will be determined by the number of votes cast, and by a panel of employers and Career Services professionals. Chroust said she is looking for creativity and professionalism. The second-place winner will be determined solely by the number of votes the video receives. First prize is $600 and second prize is $300. Winners will be personally notified on Nov. 2 and announced publicly on Nov. 8 at the Fall Internship and Job Fair in the Memorial Union between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.<\/p>\n


\nCareer Services representatives hope that running the contest through Facebook, a favorite social networking tool for young adults, will appeal to students. Its homepage (career.uri.edu) has a link to a YouTube video that shows the dos and don\u2019ts of interviewing.<\/p>\n
