MOCKINTERVIEWS

A mock interview is one of the best ways to prepare for a professional co-op interview. It allows you togain experience and practice in answering questions which you are likely to be asked by the recruiter.

You will meet with a senior Co-op Student who will ask you questions that are typically asked byrecruiters, and give you a feel for what real interviews will be like. There will also be an opportunity

for you to ask questions back to the interviewer, just like you will in real interviews with CA firms.

After the interview you will be provided with tips and suggestions on how to improve for your nextinterviewthe one that counts!!

Friday, October 15th Sign up for interview times outside room 262.

Information Sessions / Wine & Cheese Tips

CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTREASPER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, UNIVERSITYOF MANITOBA

Throughout the academic year various companies will be hosting Information Sessions and Wine &Cheese events for management students. They last from 1 2 hours and typically involve a short presentationwith Q&A followed by a brief reception. Here are a few tips that will help you to prepare.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS VIEW THESE

EVENTS AS OPPORTUNITIES

FOR YOU TO NETWORK AND MEETPOTENTIAL EMPLOYERS

NOT TO SOCIALIZE WITHYOUR FRIENDS.

TIPS Remember the impact of the first "visual

impression". Your appearance must beimpeccable. For a Wine & Cheese, dress andprepare as you would for a job interview.Information Sessions tend to be less formal.

Studies show that people form an impression

about you within the first 7 - 30 seconds ofmeeting you.

When meeting a host/guest/potential employer atthe event, smile, make eye contact, and shakehands confidently. Make sure the hand shake isfirm but not TOO FIRM. Don't wait for theemployer/ host to initiate conversation.Approach them. Introduce yourself with yourfirst and your last names , and a little bit

about yourself. ( e.g. "Hello, I'm David Miller ,and I'll be graduating in the spring of 2000 witha degree in Marketing") Thank them forcoming/supporting the event/participating/etc.

This is an excellent way to initiate conversation. Don't ask them to "tell me about your

companyit will demonstrate that you havenot done any research. Instead ask about whatthey look for in students, what their trainingprogram is like, or the type of work new gradstypically do in their first year of employment.

Keep your right hand free in order to shake

hands. Avoid holding the cold glass in yourright hand..your hand will feel cold and clammyto the touch, even if you switch the glass to yourleft hand.

Talk about their organization, and ask questionsabout future trends in their industry/business. Ifyou've read a recent article about them, or heard anews report about their success or a new initiative,weave that in to the conversation. Listening is animportant part of the communication process,

so listen attentively to what they have to say.You don't have to "carry the ball" in everyconversation.

If you are with a group of students who aretalking to an employer, make sure you

participate in the conversation, but do not

dominate it. Recruiters tend to make note of 2types of behaviours at social eventsthose thattend to "hog the show" and don't let othersparticipate in the conversation, and those thatstand idly by.

Remember to use appropriate language avoidslang, and talking about last night's "beer bash".Always remember thatyou are an educatedperson, and are heading for a leadership role in

business/management.

Wearing a nametag? Place it on the right sideclose to your shoulder.

Remember the "zone of space". Keep a distanceof about 6 feet between you and the other person.If this is too uncomfortable for you, then standabout one arm's length away.

Make sure to get the employer's business card.

Make notes about the company, and what you'velearned. The back of the card is a good place toput that info. Discretely take periodic note breaksduring the evening to record the information yougather.
