So what next?

So you have taken the time to evaluate the fall career fair - now what? Well there are lots of things you and your friends can do to help one another. Here are some examples:
  • Share interview experiences with each other - was the experience tense? relaxed? fun? frustrating?
  • Talk about the questions that were asked and how they were answered - were there technical questions? behavior questions? what do you think they were trying to learn about you with these questions?
  • Think of it as a mock interview only you already know the questions
  • You might want write the questions down and formulate some answers for use in the spring career fair - you can use the interview questions to craft your elevator speech for the career fair.
  • If a person was lucky enough to do an on site interview talk about that experience - how long did it last? how many people did you talk with? did you get a tour or a free lunch?
  • One suggestion is to not worry about if your answer is right or wrong, just answer it truthfully and you will be fine - not all jobs are meant for all people so don't try and give the answer you think they want - recruiters can see through that answer
So the take away is to take time and evaluate that experience. Be aware of what you learned from it, and share that information with others.

Stop back tomorrow for resume tips.
