- Poster Abstract Deadline: 15 September 2004
- Research companies before your interview (visit APPG/SEG Student Homepage for links to participating companies).
- Arrive on time for your interview.
- No distracting mannerisms (tapping fingernails, swinging feet), be aware of your posture and body language, and make eye contact with the interviewer.
- Speak clearly, don’t talk too fast, and think a moment before you answer questions.
- Be relaxed and sure of yourself, but not overconfident.
- Be enthusiastic, ask questions, and show you are interested in the company.
- Be well prepared and anticipate questions the interviewer might ask ahead of time.
- Answer questions more than with a simple yes or no. Use this opportunity to sell your skills or recent training.
- Follow-up the interview with a letter or email.
- Don't ask about
the salary or benefits on first interview. This is more appropriate
for a second interview.
The first impression you make will be your attire. - Clean and neat in appearance
- Neutral colors
- Conservative, not flashy
- Men should consider suits and ties
- Women should consider
pant or skirt suits
Don’t forget… - Notepad and pens
- Extra resumes
- Turn off your cell phone
- Any applicable
research illustrations to emphasize points
