INTERVIEWING
Preparation, Follow-Up, & Offer Evaluation |
|
| Informational Interviewing | ||||
| Learn from professionals in the industries of interest to you regarding how you may best prepare, while discovering how they have arrived at their current position. Please read the Informational Interviews & Reports Guide for details and use the Informational Interview Report Sample as appropriate. | ||||
| Formal Interviewing | ||||
| Do
not wait until the day before or day of an interview to prepare. Interview
preparation includes thorough research on the organization, as well
as a vast understanding of who you are and what you have to offer
an employer. When applying for an internship, you will likely be interviewed by several individuals within a company for the position. They are not only looking for someone who can perform the tasks of the internship, but often times they are looking for someone, who after completing one or two internships, as well as completing their senior year, will be ready for full-time employment with the company. Prepare for the interview to make a positive lasting impression. If you are searching for a summer job, you may still need to participate in a formal interview process. Refer to the Interview Preparation & Tips to best sell yourself to a potential employer, the Interview Follow-Up for appropriate steps, and Evaluating an Offer to assist in your decision-making (below). |
