Typical questions center around how a student has handled past situations where skills, abilities and teamwork have been demonstrated. Areas could include project work, relevant work experiences, difficult situations, accomplishments, and leadership roles. The interviewing recruiting technology is changing and there may be a time when students will be interviewed using video conferencing equipment. This equipment exists in the Career Center and had been used by employers to conduct screening, behavioral and other types of interviews. Even though the interviewer is not in the room, all noise and movement can be seen and heard.
Dark clothing is best suited to a video interview.
Students are encouraged to avoid fabrics with busy patterns and solid white or red clothing as these combinations do not come across well on video. Speak clearly and slowly as the sound system is powerful enough to pick up regular conversations. Allow the interviewer to finish speaking before beginning a response. Avoid fidgeting and making unnecessary movement as this can be distracting to the interviewer. Smile and follow basic rules of interviewing etiquette.
