Do Prepare • Research the organization • Know their mission or purpose • What’s it like to work there? • Culture and values– does it work for you? • Get your questions ready • What are the qualities you are looking for? • Tell me about orientation? • Remember, you are more than half this equation!
Preparation: Behavior Based Interviews • Reflect on your work and school experience • Teamwork • Leadership • Difficult situation • Beginning, Middle, End • Detail, detail, detail • Failure is ok– what did you learn • Honest and Diplomatic • Confidentiality
Interviews… • Phone Interviews • Reduce background noise • Virtual Interviews • More and more common • Panel Interviews • Spread your eye contact around • Tours During Interviews • Opportunity, if it’s right for you
Must Do During the Interview • Smile and engage • Make eye contact • Be you, the professional you
