  2. Fine Tune Your Interview Skills Now that you have built the perfect resume, it is time to increase your marketability by fine tuning your interview skills!

  3. What do Recruiters Want? Recruiters coming to Carlson tell us that the most successful candidates do three things during their interviews: They demonstrate focus and passion. They know what they want to do. They have knowledge about the company and the industry. They have outstanding communication skills.

  4. Ask Yourself... • Am I communicating to recruiters that I am focused and passionate about my area of expertise? • Know your Story! Recruiters will be asking why you chose HRIR as your graduate degree and field of interest. Prepare your story and deliver it clearly and confidently.

  5. Industry & Company Information • Recruiters are also looking for candidates who express interest in their specific industry and are knowledgeable about their company. The worst thing you can do is walk into an interview without having done research. • How do you gain company and industry information?

  6. To gain industry and company information: Visit the company web site AND… Use Company ProFiles through the Wilson Library databases Call someone who works at the company and conduct an informational interview Industry & Company Information

  7. Articulation Am I articulate? Am I expressing ideas succinctly? To improve your communication skills: • Visit Managerial Communications • Join Carlson Toastmasters • Practice with a GBCC counselor

  8. Top Ten Questions to Expect... • Find these and more in the Job Search Handbook located in the Graduate Business Career Center. • Tell me about yourself. • How did you decide on your career path? • What leadership roles have you held? • Why did you pick your area of concentration? • What courses did you like best/least and why? • What are you looking for in a job? • How would you compare us with our competitors? • How would you describe your area of concentration? • How does your education relate specifically to this position? • Why did you decide to seek a job with us?

  9. The Ultimate Recruiting PlaybookReported by David Blend and Jacob Kalish Here are some tips for the Ultimate Recruiting Playbook: Companies that recruit on campus adhere to rigid schedules-but that’s no reason you should. “A month before they hit campus, write a letter or make a call to each company’s rep to introduce yourself,” says Antoinette Chambers, director of MBA career services at the University of Tennessee. “They’ll be impressed with your interest and initiative, and when the recruiters show up, I guarantee they’ll remember your name”.

  10. The Ultimate Recruiting PlaybookReported by David Blend and Jacob Kalish If you don’t immediately know the answer to a question during a case interview, look down while you think of something to say. The natural tendency is to look up, but politicians and other seasoned public speakers are coached to stare at the floor. It gives the appearance of being deep in thought.
