Be successful. Introduce yourself. • Give your name, class year & academic area of study. • Offer a handshake and a smile.

Ask questions. • Can you tell me more about your organization? • Do you have any upcoming job or internship opportunities? • What kinds of skills or experiences are you looking for? • If I want to apply or learn more, what are the next steps? • Could I get your business card and/or contact information?

Take notes. • Make notes during/after a conversation with the name(s) of the people you met and the things you discussed. • You don’t have to “hide” while making notes. Making notes shows that you’ve learned something important.

End the conversation. • “This has been helpful. Thanks for being here today. It was nice meeting you.” • Offer a handshake and walk away. • If they have free stuff on the table, ask, “Would it be okay if I took one of these?”

Follow up. • Send thank you email notes to select employers. • Find and connect with companies/organizations and individuals on LinkedIn. • Need to improve your profile? Stop by the Hub for help. • If someone recommended that you do something – then do it!

An interview that ends in a job offer is not the result of luck. Preparation is key! Preparing for an interview will help you present yourself in a relaxed manor and will reduce the chance of getting flustered by unexpected questions. Once your cover letter and resume have gotten you in the door, it’s up to you to let the employer know why you are the best person for the job.

Practice & PrepareUse Big Interview (a free video interview-prep tool) to practice just about every question you’re likely to get in over 20 industries using your webcam and this system of on-demand mock interviews. http://go.uvm.edu/biginterview

Talk with a Career Counselor. For 10-15 minute conversations, drop-in at the Hub (Mon-Thur, 1-4 pm & Fri, 1-3 pm). For longer conversations, call the Career Center for an appointment.Counselors can interview you with common questions, then offer you feedback. (i.e: a mock interview)

Dress More conservatively than normal.

Punctuality Be early, not late.

Listen Listen well so that you can answer well.

Talk Be friendly to receptionists.

Participate in small talk before the interview.

Body language Avoid nervous habits, make eye contact, smile.

Act interested Take notes, ask questions.

Answer questions Respond directly or ask for clarification if you’re unsure.

Ask questions Prepare questions in advance. Bring notes if necessary.

Evaluate Immediately after the interview, consider how you feel.

Send a thank you Send a formal email within 24 hours.

Remember: You are interviewing the employer or organization just as much as they are interviewing you. You want to make sure the employer or organization is a good fit for you too. Ask thoughtful questions that will help you know if this is a good fit.

Don’t miss out on a great job because you didn’t practice and prepare.
