Refine job interview skills.

Refining should

  • allow students practice for an actual interview (both in-person and virtually)
  • allow students to roleplay interview scenarios
  • illustrate desirable behaviors (e.g., maintaining eye contact, asking informed questions)
  • address undesirable behaviors (e.g., speaking too softly, failing to answer questions completely).

In addition, students should

  • consider various interview formats (e.g., phone screenings, virtual interviews, group interviews, panel interviews, informal interviews)
  • exhibit promptness
  • have a résumé for reference
  • display a professional appearance
  • distinguish between legal and illegal interview questions
  • thank the interviewer.
