Spring Connection is over and hopefully some of you made some valuable connections, or better yet uncovered an opportunity for an interview. Many think your resume solely will get you the job, but that is a huge misconception.
Be Prepared!
Make sure you are well prepared. You should know the company, know why you want the job, know your goals, and most important know yourself. You should have examples of previous group projects and any other collaborations stored away for the questions you WILL be asked in an interview.
Be Cool!
Interviews can be nerve-wrecking experiences but it doesn’t have to be that way. Try to relax as best as you can. Listen to your favorite songs before the interview. Music is stress relieving. Brazil’s soccer team brings instruments and plays music on the bus before games to battle anxiety. Another thing is to take a few deeps breaths and realize that the outcome, good or bad, is not the end of the world.
I talked to a wise man and he said ” There is nothing to worry about in an interview. They interview you and they want you to talk about yourself. What? You don’t know yourself?” Good Luck!
