Program
Filling out an Application: For most job
interviews you will fill out an application. Many employers
will rule you out simply for bad penmanship!
One-on-One Interview: Just like the real
thing. Show up on time. Dress appropriately. Speak clearly.
Maintain eye contact. Practice being at your best.
Debrief of interview with candidate: Did
you get the job? Find out immediately how you did with
feedback from the instructor.
Written evaluation of candidate: A
detailed, written critique of the interviewee includes
strengths, weaknesses, and strategies for improvement. The
evaluation also comments on how the candidate may be perceived,
the strengths to highlight, and the pitfalls to avoid.
A sampling of the topics
Be prepared: Knowing details about a school
or organization before you walk into an interview shows that
you are interested and prepared.
Think of questions: Have questions of
your own ready. The interview is not just for the organization
to get to know you, but for you to address questions that
are important to your future.
Listen: Forgetting the name of the interviewer,
or asking questions that have already been answered, implies
that you don’t value the opportunity.
Focus: Promptness and attention to detail
are two qualities any interviewer loves to see in a candidate.
Being late makes a bad first impression.
