Before the Interview
Practice your answers to the interview questions. All students will be asked question #1, plus 2-3 additional questions from the list.
Choose appropriate business casual attire. Your outfit should be clean and wrinkle-free. You do not need to buy new, expensive clothing. Here are some outfit ideas:
Tops: button-up shirt, polo, blouse, or sweater (optional: add a blazer or cardigan!)
Bottoms: dress pants, khakis, dark wash jeans, or a knee-length (or longer) skirt or dress
Shoes: loafers, oxfords, flats, dress shoes, boots, plain sneakers, or modest heels (they should be clean & close-toed!)
During the Interview
Take a deep breath, relax, and be yourself! Your interviewer is excited to meet you.
Greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and a smile.
Introduce yourself clearly and with confidence.
Stand until you are offered a seat.
Provide a copy of your resume to the interviewer.
Maintain good posture and natural eye contact with your interviewer.
Answer questions completely, avoiding short, vague answers. You can take time to think before answering. Pace yourself and avoid rushing your answers.
At the end of your interview, stand, smile, thank the interviewer for their time, and shake their hand.
