Our Services
Individual AppointmentsThe MSU Career Center is a fully staffed team of professional “liaisons” representing each school here at MSU. He or she will listen, ask questions, give feedback, help identify obstacles and teach strategies so you can determine your next steps toward your career goal.
AssessmentsIt’s hard to figure out what you’re supposed to do “the rest of your life.” No one thing or person can tell you what to major in or what career path you should take, but career assessments can provide direction...so you can make the best decision for YOU. Contact our office or visit our website for more information.
Mock InterviewsPreparation is the key at being successful in almost anything in life but definitely in an interview. Come practice your interview skills with trained professionals. We will customize the interview to best match your needs, and after a Mock Interview, you will receive immediate feedback and specific recommendations for improvement.

Your addressCity, State, ZIP Date Person’s NameJob TitleOrganizationWork AddressCity, State, ZIP Dear Mr./Ms. ___________________ Paragraph 1 (very easy!): 1. What you’re applying for2. How you found out about the position3. Refer to resume.(If there’s a name to drop, drop it in the first sentence....”Jane Doe suggested I contact you regarding the paralegal position available with XYZ Law Firm.”) Paragraph 2 and/or 3 (a little harder): PROVE YOUR SKILLS!!! You can use examples from education, previous work experience, volunteer work, class projects, etc. To do this, try one of two things: 1. If you have a position announcement or job description, use that as a “cheat sheet.” They’re telling you exactly what they want in an ideal employee–then it’s your job to PROVE HOW you have what they want. Use examples to back it up. 2. If there is no job description, place yourself in the mind of the employer. If you were looking at resumes/cover letters to hire for this position, what would be the most relevant things to mention? Don’t forget to write a summary statement at the end of this section (“I am confident that my unique combination of education, experience, and skills would serve XYZ Law Firm well.”) Final Paragraph (back to very easy!): 1. Ask for the interview (“I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications for this position.”)2. Provide date that YOU will follow up with them (unless they say ‘NO Phone Calls’) (“I will contact you the week of August 8 to follow up on the status of the search.”)3. Provide contact info for them (“In the meantime, please contact me at 555-555-1212 or [email protected] if you have questions or would like to schedule an interview.”)4. Thanks! (“Thank you in advance for your time. I look forward to speaking with you soon.”)
Sincerely, Your Name (If you send one “snail mail” or in person, don’t forget to sign your cover letter!)
COVER LETTERSCover letters are not required for on-campus interviews. However, they should be sent with your resume when you are mailing, faxing or e-mailing it.
COVER LETTER OUTLINE
Cover Letter TipsA cover letter is not always required; however, submitting one makes a good impression.
A cover letter shows genuine interest, demonstrates written communication skills, and allows for explanation of fit that may not be shown on the resume.
A cover letter should not be your resume in paragraph form.

STEP 1 | SCHEDULE A MOCK INTERVIEW
MSU CAREER CENTER 23
STEP 2 | DRESS FOR SUCCESS
BUSINESS PROFESSIONALSuit Up! For the interview, men should wear a matching suit and tie; ladies should wear a matching skirt or pant suit with a coordinating blouse.
College students on a budget may not own a suit, so we recommend putting together the best outfit you can with what you already own. Perhaps a friend or roommate of similar size owns a suit or tie that can be borrowed.
Suit Tips: • To avoid wrinkles in the suit jacket, take it off while driving /riding in a car on the way to the interview, put it on a hanger and hook in your car. Laying your suit jacket on the floorboard or seat could result in unwanted lint and hair.
• If your suit is dirty or wrinkled, plan to take it to the dry cleaners the week before the interview – not the day before the interview.
• In general, darker suit colors should be worn for more formal occasions. Dark gray, black, brown, or navy suits are appropriate for interviews.
• If you are wearing your suit for the first time, remember to remove the tag on the sleeve and cut the tie between the flaps on the back of the suit jacket.
Men: In some instances, a matching tie and button-down shirt will suffice. Button only the top button of your suit jacket; remember to unbutton this button upon taking a seat.
Women: A skirt with a matching jacket or sweater and blouse will suffice in some cases.
• Fit and Fabric: Make sure that blouses are not too tight, too low cut or too sheer. Choose a modest cut and fabric to complement your suit.
• Avoid blouses with distracting patterns and designs.
• Skirt length should be just above or at the knee. Pants should be full length, not Capri.
• Wear appropriate undergarments that are not visible through clothing.
24 MSU CAREER CENTER
PORTFOLIOA portfolio adds professionalism to your outfit during the interview. It is also a great place to store a writing utensil, questions for the employer, and resume packets.
• Bring a dark colored leather briefcase or portfolio.
• Avoid manila envelopes and three-pronged folders.
Most importantly, give the employer the
impression that you made a significant effort
to present yourself professionally for the
interview. The most expensive wardrobe will
not gain any respect if not worn properly; do
the best with what you have!!
BUSINESS CASUAL• Wear business casual attire only when stated; otherwise, assume
that business professional is the standard.
• Business casual is considered a step down from interview attire in professionalism.
Men: Consider wearing a full length button-down collared shirt with no tie or a short sleeved golf shirt. Leave the collar down, and unbutton the top button only.
• Ironed dress pants or slacks can be worn with dress shoes (no sandals or athletic shoes).
MSU CAREER CENTER 25
SHOES AND SUCHMen: Wear preferably black or brown shoes that match the black or brown belt depending on your suit color.
• Wear brown/burgundy with khaki, brown, or navy suits, and wear black with black and gray suits.
• Lace-up or slip-on shoes are both good choices. Athletic shoes and sandals/flip flops are not good ideas.
• Wear dress socks that match each other and the suit/outfit and extend high enough to avoid showing skin when seated. Don’t wear white socks; wear blue, brown, or black depending on the color of the pants.
Shirt: Blue or white full length button-down collared shirts are the most common choice for interview attire.
• Avoid short-sleeved or golf shirts especially when wearing a suit.
• Remember to iron or have the shirt ironed prior to the interview. Wrinkles give the impression that the interview candidate is unorganized and disinterested.
Pants: Wear pants that break at the top of the shoe when standing.
• Pants should fit snugly at the waist and be ironed flat or dry cleaned if applicable.
• Read the tag for cleaning/care instructions.
Women: Choose a closed-toe pump with a low or modest heel that matches your suit color. Black or navy are good choices.
• Always wear pantyhose, preferably a neutral or nude color.
• Never wear brightly colored tights or hosiery.
• Opened toe or strappy sandals are never appropriate
JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIESWhen considering jewelry, remember to keep your decisions conservative. A nice wrist-watch, pearls, or a simple gold chain are nice additions to interview attire. Refrain from noisy bangles or multiple bracelets that will be distracting. Although cowbells are now legal at the football stadium, please refrain from bringing them with you during the interview.
• Avoid resting sunglasses on your head or leaving them hanging from your neck
• A portfolio adds professionalism to your outfit during the interview. It is also a great place to store a writing utensil, questions for the employer,
and extra copies of your resume.
• Bring a dark colored leather briefcase or portfolio.
• Avoid manila envelopes and three- pronged folders.
• No hats!
Men: A nice wristwatch (not a sports watch) is an appropriate compliment to interview attire. Avoid wearing earrings and showing other facial/body piercings.
Women: Avoid large and/or dangling earrings. Choose a small loop or stud. Avoid showing facial/body piercings.
26 MSU CAREER CENTER
PERSONAL HYGIENE• Oral Hygiene: Brush teeth and use mouthwash to ensure fresh breath.
• Do not chew gum or mints during the interview.
• Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco prior to the interview.
• Showering: For some this is automatic. Please take a shower before you go to the interview. Use soap.
• Cologne/Perfume: Wear little or no cologne to the interview. Too much cologne can easily distract the employer and prevent you from making a good impression.
• Finger nails: Keep fingernails well manicured, clean, and short. Avoid paint or polish.
• Hair: Consider going for a hair cut one week to one day before the interview depending on how quickly your hair grows.
• Keep hair neat and clean for the interview day.
• Refrain from dying your hair, and maintain hair at a conservative length.
Men: Men who do not already wear a beard or goatee need to be cleanly shaven on the day of the interview.
• If you do wear facial hair, make sure that it is neat, clean, and trimmed.
• Trim unwanted eyebrow and nose hairs.
Women: Keep hair neat and clean for the interview day. Choose a modest hair style that is easy to maintain. Refrain from dying your hair before the interview.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS• Lint. Use a lint roller to remove hair and lent from your clothes. Be aware of any lint or pet hair you could attract from your car seat or other pieces of furniture before the interview.
• Stains. Ensure that all clothing is absent of stains and holes. Inspect your outfit in the mirror before you leave for the interview.
Most importantly, give the employer the impression that you made a significant effort to present yourself professionally for the interview. The most expensive wardrobe will not gain any respect if not worn properly; do the best with what you have!
MSU CAREER CENTER 27
STEP 3 | Research The Company
WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS INFORMATION?• Use it in the interview!! The more knowledgeable about the organization you are, the better!
• Recruiters look for applicants who are up-to-date with company matters and the profession.
• Have a clear idea of the organization and its fit for you.
• Know the spelling and pronunciation of the interviewer’s name.
Checklist: Researching the Employer What is the company’s mission statement? Where is the company located? Are there multiple offices/locations? Which location would be best for you?

STEP 6 | QUIZ YOURSELF
HOW TO ANSWER BEHAVIORAL QUESTIONS1. Give the complete story of an event
first. (Include key points and results.)
2. Give specific examples about what you did, said, felt, and thought.
3. Separate your actions from the action of others.
4. Use “I” examples more than “we” examples.
5. Ask for clarification if you are unsure of the question.
6. Watch and listen for interviewer cues.
7. Do not make vague proclamations of your skills.
8. Answer negatively phrased questions (Tell me about a failure.) as you would a question about your weaknesses. Show that you have acknowledged the weakness and over-come it.
WHAT IS A BEHAVIORAL QUESTION?Behavioral questions focus on past experiences and
require specific examples from these experiences when
answering questions. Do not answer these questions
hypothetically.?
ILLEGAL QUESTIONSThese are questions interviewers ask that are not related to the job. In general, illegal questions consist of asking about one’s race, gender, religion, marital status, age, disabilities, ethnic background, or country of origin. Many times, interviewers ask illegal questions because they are unaware of the state and federal laws that prohibit them. It is up to you how to respond to illegal questions. You may prefer to answer the question or to answer it in a way that relates to the job. For example, if an employer asks you if you are engaged because they see a ring on your finger, you may want to tell them yes and try to change the subject without elaborating about your plans.
Sample Behavioral Questions• Give an example of when your ability to
manage your time and priorities proved to be an asset.
• Give an example of when you were responsible for an error or mistake.
• Tell me about a specific time when you had to handle a tough problem which challenged fairness or ethical issues.
• Describe a time when you had to deal with a difficult person; what was the outcome?
• Tell me about a time when you faced a stressful situation and your coping skills were tested. How did you handle it?
• Describe a time when you faced adversity with time. What was the outcome with the school/work project?
• Give an example of a time when you went above and beyond the call of duty in order to get the job done.
• Give me an example of a time when you set a goal and were able to meet or achieve it (besides graduating college).
• Tell me about a time when you were forced to make an unpopular decision.
• Give me an example of a time when you had to make a split second decision.
