Interviewing
The Resume workshop was useful. Even though I have attended about five the past year, I found more things that I can fix in my resume. I wish that we had done this before we had to submit our resumes for Meet the Accountants, so our resumes would have been better prepared for when we met recruiters from accounting firms.
Even though I worked three different jobs at Case last year (Thwing building monitor, Italian Tutor, and Rock Wall Instructor) I have never had to go through an interview process as described on the career center website. However, before I interviewed for an internship at Bison Wealth Management, I read through all the handouts from the career center. I went and answered all the questions the interviewer might ask me as well as came up with some questions of my own to ask them. I found it very useful because I discovered that I wouldn’t know how to answer some of them on the spot. I needed that extra time to prepare just in case the question came up.
I always thought that when interviewing with one company, no other interviews could be scheduled. I thought I was committing already by going through the interview. I read professor Powley’s blog describing the interview process as something resembling dating and the more I hear from others I agree with it.
