Interview Experts

Expectations. Life is full of them and it is up to us to rise up and meet them or let them pass by. Those expectations seem to be especially daunting when you reach that long-anticipated final year of college. Here I am: expected to either get a job, or go to grad school, find a house, pay off those student loans and basically grow up. But how does one fulfill all of these expectations?

As I start my senior year I am finding that one way to get started is by talking. Talking to the right people and asking and answering the right questions. Yes, I’m talking about interviews. Whether it is for your dream job, graduate school or a spot in CAFNR history as CAFNR Week queen (or king), every interview is important and you have to have the right tools to be successful.

Luckily for CAFNR Students, the resources to find those tools are never very far away. You can start by asking those around you. I have received invaluable knowledge over the past few years simply by talking to those who have been there before. Older students and college professors have more than likely been through the experiences that you are preparing for, and can give practical tips on how to put your best self out there.

Another great place to turn is to CAFNR Career Services. The name pretty much says it all. The office is filled with people trained to help get you where you want to go, and like I said, this starts with great interviewing skills. The website offers advice on how to dress for an interview, what not to do, how to handle different types of interviews and more.

Everyone here in CAFNR already knows that our students are the cream of the crop, now you all you need to know is how to make sure everyone else knows it too!
