Job interviews, fear: part of growing up ■ With graduation on the horizon for seniors, it’s time to start preparing Victor Runyan for the Emerald Fear is palpable in the soon-to graduate student. His palms sweat, and a dozen half-finished thoughts run through his head. It is not finals causing his trepida tion, but a job interview. For many University seniors, the time to put down the books and join the hunt for work is fast approaching. According to Larry Smith, di rector of the Career Center, in a job interview, the company’s rep resentatives look at the applicant and find out what they are made of. It also gives the candidate a chance to see what they think of the company. The interviewer is not usually there to trick the candidate into making a mistake, Smith said. They are there to try and find the person with the “perfect fit” for the job. The applicant needs to help them see how he or she is the best person for the job. According to Smith, the appli cant does not have to give a per fect interview or be dressed in a certain way. “The little things are flexible,” he said. What he con siders to be important for students is knowing what skills and traits they have to offer the company. He said students can test their preparedness for interviews by practicing with friends. Smith Interviewing tips Do: Prepare ahead of time Know what you have to offer, and. be able to explain it Know about the company and its industry Listen to the interviewer Call if you have to be late or cancel Be dean and appropriately dressed Don’t Forget courtesy Be afraid to follow up and ask why you weren’t hired Be afraid to ask intelligent ques tions Be afraid to stop and think during the interview Feel obligated to take job SOURCE: University Career Center said before a student goes into an interview, he or she should be able to tell a friend in detail about the company, its competitors and the job being applied for. This helps the applicants mentally project themselves into the work place of the business and decide if it is a place they want to work. Garrison Dyer, an admissions counselor at the University who graduated in March 1999 with a degree in public relations, empha sizes the need to prepare. Dyer said students should not be afraid of an interview even if they are not sure that they are interest Catharine Kendall Emerald Admissions counselor Garrison Dyer meets in his office with a potential transfer stu dent, Evan Thomas. ed in the company because it gives them practice with the stress and uncertainty of an interview. Senior Julirose Schafgans, a communication disorders and sci ence major, said she has had sever al interviews with companies that did not seem to be a good fit for her. “I almost felt trapped,” she said. In one case, she asked about a typical day and realized she did not want the job. Her advice in this case is to step away and tell the interviewer that you need some time to think about it. Schafgaps said she was recent ly offered a job from a manage ment company in San Francisco. Her advice is to do your re search, relax and have fun.
