I'm sure a lot of you are going through all the different rounds and stages of interviewing right now for your dream jobs. Leave a comment and let me know how its going or if you have any questions. Some things to remember about interviewing:
* Don't let the recruiter interview you the entire time. Interview them.
* Ask them some BIG questions:
o What are you looking for in the ideal candidate for this position?
o Describe the culture of your company, if you could.
o What daily tasks will I be performing as a fresh out of college employee?
o What percentage of my time will be spent doing mundane, entry level work?
o What percentage of my time would I be traveling?
o What do you offer for your customers and more importantly, your employees, that other companies do not?
o What is the turnover percentage right now and what kind of chances do I have of growing my career with you?
* Just relax and enjoy learning about possibly working for this company.
The biggest thing that most companies are looking for in a college graduate is personal skills. If they can talk and carry on a casual and pleasant conversation with you then your chances of securing an offer are pretty good. It may take a few rounds of interviewing, but it will happen. Be sure to dress appropriately, suits in most occasions but at least a tie for guys or a nice blouse/top for the ladies (women's clothing is not my area of expertise so help me out ladies). I wish you all the best of luck, and if you have any questions send me a message by email or leave a comment.
