An excellent method is to' sit down with a 'friend and pretend like Choosing a college major may be one of the biggest decisions you have ever faced. Like any other decision in • \ i \ life, there are a few basic rules to follow which will help to make it a successful one. \ • • \ one of you is the interviewer and the other is the applicant, then switch positions. If you have never interviewed anyone before, you will see that a job interviewer's task is most difficult. Here Think for a minute about just why you came to college.

How did you decide to study your particular academic major (if in college)? Why do want a job with our company? Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses. . • . What do you see yourself doing five years from now? Why should I hire you? THE DAY OF YOUR INTERVIEW Try to arrive at least fifteen minutes early for your interview. This will allow for unforeseen emergencies like, slow traffic, a busy eleyator, or . .a last minute visit to the bathroom. Wien the interviewergrA9ts y,034 49497 WI . 44,wd.

A' • W • Most interviewers will make a decision about you in the first five minutes of the interview. Their decision is greatly influenced by whether or not they . like you - - Our looks, your clothes and your personality rather than the facts you show on your resume: When the interviewer sees you for the first time, he or she mentally slots you, into one of two baskets: you fit the good employee image or you don't. You can increase the chances'of being seen as a "good employee" by dressing neatly and conservatively. A golf course assistant superintendent once told me, "I refuse to wear a coat and tie for an interview. I prefer a T-shirt and blue jeans. If the interviewer won't accept me as I am,,l don't want to work for him." No one is going to force you to con form or to crimp your style. But, neither are you going to force an employer to hire you and most employers prefer conservative over liberal when evaluating a candidate's attire. It is safer to be too well-dressed than too casual. • Also, the candidate who maintains good eye contact with the interviewer, who has a good grasp of the English language, and who displays enthusiasm, will probably match the interviewer's im age of a good candidate. Most interviews .will follow a rather simple question, and answer formula. 4 such is the case, your ability to answer quickly and intelligently is of great importance. If your 'answer are con fused and contradictory, your cause is lost. The greatest. prey6htive • against contradictory answers is the plain, unembroidered truth. A frank answer, even if it seems a little unfavorable to you, is better by far than an exaggeration which may tangle you up in the, next question. Make sure that your good points get across. The interviewer won't know them unless you tell him/her but try to appear factual and sincere, not bloated with,conceit. If you can mention your best qualities in relation to something concrete, so much the better. For example,. saying "I paid for 75 percent of my college expenses" is better than saying "I am a hard worker and I want to get ahead." The first establishes the point more convincingly than the second. If you get the impression that the interview is not going well and that you have already been re jected, don't let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose .by continuing ,the ap pearance of confidence and you may gain much. The last few minutes often change things. Once in a great while, an interviewer who is genuinely interested in your possibilities may seem to discourage you in order to test your reaction. If you remain confident and determined, you will probably make a good impression. THE CLOSING Your interview might end with you and interviewer standing up, shaking hands, saying "I'll see you," and parting company. You leave wondering what'is the. next step. However, if you are truly excited about the job at the end of an interview, you.shoukl expre ‘ ss your interest in the position and ask the interviewer what will happen next. The interviewer should tell you when you will hear the results of the interview. Ask the interviewer for his or her business card. You can then send a follow-up letter to the person who interviewed you. , I. aiimmummiLiumaii %AAA A Vice President of a large investment firm told the story of forty MBA students who were hosted in the firm's New York City suite for two days. Of these forty highly educated people, only one stood out in the Vice President's mind a week later. That student had taken the time to write a follow-up letter thanking the firm's officers for their courtesy in hosting him at their ex- . pense. A follow-up letter to the interviewer is also appropriate following a private job interview. Let the tone of your letter reflect your continued interest in the job. Remind the interviewer of any facts about yourself that you think are especially important to his or her employer. Con clude by stating your understanding of the next step to be taken by the interviewer. In spite of your preparation, your interview may not result in a job, offer. If this happens you May feel sad, unworthy, and angry. It may help you feel better to know that job rejections are quite common. Unless you kicked the interviewer in the shins or knocked over his pencil holder, there is no reason to tell yourself that you were a clod in the interview. Instead, tell yourself you did your best, but the interviewer must have talked to someone whose qUalifications were a bet ter match for the job. . _ You need information about the majors available at PSU and related careers to make a good "Major Deci sion." DUS advisors (Grange. Building) can help you to explore University and department requirements. Counselors in the Career Development and Placement Center (Boucke Building) can help you to.look at ma jors in terms of your long-range goals. The CDPC also provides services such as Career Exploration groups, "Choosing a Major" seminars, and the Career Resource Library. Information about specific majors can best be obtained from departmental advisors and DUS college liaisons. As you consider and compare different majors, here are some questions you may want to ask: 1. What kinds of skills are needed to be a successful _ 2. How can these skills be applied in the work world? 3. What are the course requirements (core and electives) for a in selection and sequencing? , 4. What is the typical learning format 7 - lectures; small groups, labs, field trips? 5. How much time can reXpect VeekV? • 6. Can I minor or double major in this department? 7. Is this program accredited? By whom? 8. Is this degree equivalent to professional certification or licensure? If not, what is necessary beyond the degree? 9. Can you suggest other students in the department to whom I can talk? 10. Who are the teaching faculty members what are their areas of expertise? 11. Are there opportunities for independent study or credit internships within the department? How does one go about setting one up? 12. What kinds of jobs do alumni (ae) now hold? Salaries? 13. Is graduate training required? 14. Do you offer any career counseling or job placement services? How about job vacancy listings?
