I'm thanking Idonas again for the next few posts. He has been a great help in giving me tips and trying to help me find a job. He was my boss when I worked for my college, which sadly I can't do anymore since it was only a summer position. He gave me a couple sheets on interviewing tips. Here is part 1 (all the information is compiled by John Denio, Bryant University '04):
In Advance:
Assess yourself regarding:
-educations (relevant courses; skills you gained)
-work experience (paid, full-time, part-time, volunteer, internships)
-extracurricular activities
-transferable skills (from school to work and from one job to another)
-geographic preference
-salary needs (acceptable range)
-successes/accomplishments
-leadership examples (positions, committees...)
Assess the Organization or Institution:
-size, location
-reputation, standing, services provided
-training and benefits available
-financial status
-how your skills would contribute to its operation
-your reasons for wanting to work there
Organize Yourself:
-Prepare a dynamic one to two page resume
-Request letters of recommendation from faculty and staff members. Ask permission to use their names as references
-Prepare two to three questions regarding experience, career goals, strengths, weaknesses, and awareness of position and organization.
-Know where the interview will be held and how to get there.
-Decide on your interview wardrobe. Appearance should reflect conservative good taste.
That's part one. Stop back again for tips on the actual interview
