INTERVIEW TIPS : NEW GRADUATES

INTERVIEW TIPS : NEW GRADUATES

Congratulations! You have finished your college degree and are ready to pursue your chosen career. Now all you have to do is get a job interview in your field and get hired, right?  Well, that may sound easy, but it may be harder than you think.

You need to know what to focus on in the interview to draw the interviewer away from your lack of experience in the field. Most college grads have little if any experience in their field; they have the degree, but no actual work experience.

Focus on your organizational skills and your ability to finish several things at once (i.e. college exams); focus on any leadership and teamwork skills you may have learned in extra-curricular activities (i.e. fraternal organizations or athletics). Finally, discuss your desire to find a job where you can learn and grow with the company; this will ensure that the interviewer knows you plan to stay with the company after they have trained you.
