Your interview challenge is to present these scenarios to employers by focusing on the skills, abilities, and personal traits that allowed you to achieve your successes. If possible, quantify your achievements. Distinguish your employment candidacy from that of others. Research the organization prior to the interview. Your research does not have to be done covertly.
Employers understand and expect students to do research on their organization.
They often provide the Career Center Library with company literature. Acquire as much information as possible about the position for which you are applying. You may find it helpful to conduct an informational interview with someone from the Sycamore Career Network or with anyone who is currently working in a position similar to the one you aspire. Remember that the interview is a two-way exchange of information. Be sure to prepare questions about the position and organization.
