Put Your Interview Skills to the Test!

Are you interested in improving your interviewing skills? The most qualified candidate is not necessarily the one that gets the job. An impressive interview can go a long way. Enterprise will be on-campus next Thursday morning to conduct practice interviews. Next Thursday, April 26, will be the last opportunity this school year to receive employer feedback on your interviewing skills and resume. Students can learn what they do well and what they need to improve. 

How to sign up:

Go to the On-Campus Interview portion of ColonialTRAK.  The Employer name will be MOCK and the details will be in the posting.  If interested once in the posting, click on the Interview Date (4/26/12) that is below the yellow line; then, scroll down and you'll see all the available times.  You must have a resume uploaded in ColonialTRAK to sign up.
(NOTE:  You do not need to have an interest in these particular companies to gain benefits from doing a mock interview.)
