Nearing the successful completion of graduate school? Now it’s time to tackle the seemingly daunting task of applying for jobs. In addition to preparing your resume, an interview is a chance to highlight your skills and sell yourself as the ideal candidate for the job.
Interviewing Tips
-
Prepare for the “tell me about yourself” question.
-
Do your homework and learn about the company.
-
Ask questions about the company, culture, and position.
-
Provide examples using prior experiences, go beyond the resume.
-
Practice your responses. Alumni, mentors, and professors can be great resources for mock interviews.
Other helpful hints. Think of the interview as a conversation. Remember, you already know all the answers, you lived them already.
It’s time to show everyone how great you are!
