WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, IS£3 Placement Applicants Unprepared Too few. students are prepared to provide the answers sought by representatives 'of interviewing companies, officials of the College Placement Service pointed out yesterday. This unpreparedness stems from the fact that, students fail to read literature provided by the com panies, placement officials de clared. Fifteen minutes’ study would be sufficient to give the interviewees a working knowledge of their , prospective employers, they said. Material pointing out the op portunities and working condi tions of th companies sending in representatives is ori file at the placement office in 112 Old Main. Students are welcome to inspect this material, officials said. A bulletin, “Making the Inter view Count,” is available at the placement office. It outlines ten steps students should take before and during the interview. The. bulletin points, out that the interviewee should'be neat arid, punctual; that he should not ‘oversell” himself; that he should give correct information about his scholastic record and activities; that he should learn all he can about the company before sched uling an interview; that he should let the interviewer know what type of job he is seeking; that he should think over the cbrii pany’s proposition before making a decision, that often he will’ not get a direct offer from a firm; and that if a position is accepted; the student has a moral obligation to that company.
