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

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

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.
