It will also be your responsibility to interpret the value of your liberal arts education for the employer. Some employers may wonder how your liberal education and your particular major have prepared you for a career in a specific field. The good news is that employers usually don t hire you for what you have studied, but rather for the skills you ve developed in the classroom and elsewhere. In advance of the interview, review the skills you ve developed through coursework and experience. You ll need to give concrete evidence of how you ve developed those skills.
Many employers use a behavioral interviewing technique.
Behavioral interviewing is based on the premise that your past behavior is the best predictor of how you will perform in the future. You will be asked to describe specific situations in which you demonstrated a skill or dealt with a particular experience. Describe the setting or situation in which you had this experience. Use active verbs to describe your actions, and use verbs which reflect your skills. If possible, quantify your results.
