Many
college students never give job interviews much
thought until they realize it's time to seek out
a paying gig. "In reality, students should
start preparing the day they step on campus,"
says Shellie Hansen, M.S., career coordinator
for Oklahoma State University's College of Business
Administration, Stillwater, OK. "Most students
need excellent interview skills by the start of
their sophomore year so that interviewing for
internships and related experiences goes well."
Translation? To ace one of life's most intimidating
conversations (yes -- the interview), you
need to start preparing early in your freshman
year for the specific questions almost every interviewer
will ask.
Sure,
potential employers always have some unexpected
questions up their sleeves, but how you respond
to a core set of questions can make or break the
hiring outcome. Pass the test, and you're offering
up evidence of your knowledge, experience, creativity,
and commitment to a strong work ethic. And don't
think you can somehow bluff your way past your
résumé's weak points -- it's not
that simple.
