Week 1 – Job Application Experiences

In the last job that I applied for, the application process was seamless and enjoyable. In the last job that I applied for, I was able to apply through the company’s website. The company’s website provided an exceptional summary of the company and the job position itself. The questions the application asked were all applicable to the position and allowed applicants to demonstrate or share their knowledge and experience. Once done with submitting the application, I was then contacted by an employee of the company a day later. The interview process was also seamless and easy to follow through. The interviewer asked insightful questions, provided detailed information about the position, shared the company’s goals, and overall shared how I would make a great employee at their company. While nerve-wrecking applying to a job, the company assured me that I was well prepared for any questions they may have had and would excel in the workplace. 

My experience during the job application process shaped my impression of the job I was applying for. The application process made me feel confident in the decision I was making to apply and commit to the job and company. I took notice of the efficient and effective communication between me and the company’s employees. I wanted to be part of a company that supported its workers and that wanted them to excel in their work in the company. The job application process also shaped my impression of the job because I appreciated that the company asked insightful questions to ensure that their future employees not only had the proper credentials but also had the proper knowledge and critical thinking skills. This gave me assurance that the company valued their applicants’ ability to apply their education accurately and effectively, and not just be satisfied with seeing the credentials in the resume. Overall, my application process positively shaped my impression of the job I was applying for.
