Utilize the OCS Resource Library. Although we are not a lending library, our materials may be photocopied. Contact friends, relatives, alumni, and acquaintances who might know something about the organization or person with whom you will be interviewing. The more you know about the position and organization, the better equiped 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 organization 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.
