If you are interested in interviewing with an organisation that doesn't visit campus, contact them directly for information that can be sent to you. If you are interviewing with a company visiting campus, find the name of the recruiter and contact him for the name of Allegheny alumnus working with his organisation. Contact friends, relatives, alumni, and acquaintances who might know something about the organisation or person with whom you will be interviewing. The more you know about the position and organisation, the better equipped you will be to take an active role in the interview. Get to know the Pelletier reference librarians.
Reference librarians are professional problem-solvers.
For information that can't be found in our office, talk with the reference librarians. Your research goal is to be as knowledgeable as possible about the position and organisation for which you are interviewing. Without solid preparation prior to the interview, the likelihood of being poised, articulate, and convincing in the interview is diminished. An environmental consulting firm, on the other hand, may not place a high premium on the right look. A positive initial impression will serve you well throughout the interview.
