Prepare for an Interview

  • Research the Company: Learn about the company’s details, including its mission, values, services, and recent news. Knowing this information shows your interest and helps you tailor your responses to the company’s goals.
  • Practice Common Interview Questions: Prepare answers for typical interview questions such as “Tell me about yourself” and “Why do you want to work here?” Practice your responses aloud and consider making an appointment for a mock interview.
  • Showcase Relevant Skills and Experiences: In your interview, be sure to highlight your skills gained through coursework, internships, part-time jobs, volunteer work, or extracurricular activities.
  • Prepare Questions for the Interviewer: Prepare approximately 5-8 questions to ask the interviewer about the company culture, specific projects, or anything related to the position. Asking insightful questions demonstrates your interest in the role and company.
  • Schedule a Mock Interview: Schedule an appointment for a Mock Interview with a Career Coach on your Handshake account. Discover common questions, strategies to showcase your skills, and expert advice to boost your confidence and success.
