Practice makes Perfect!
You’ve heard it said so many times. Making an excellent first impression is essential for a strong interview. This includes your appearance, your timeliness, but most importantly, your interviewing skills! Take a look at what happens to a few students who didn’t prepare for their interview: www.interviewstream.com/ummlike. Don’t let this happen to you!
Who really gets the job? The best qualified? The smartest candidate? Not necessarily! Most of the time, it’s the person who is able to best sell his or her skills to employers in a professional and effective manner.
Before heading into your next interview, spend 30 minutes using our newest technology: InterviewStream!
You can stop into the Career Center or sign up ahead of time to use this interactive online video-based practice interviewing tool. Have a webcam? You can even conduct an interview right now!
