Give me your three best tips for job seeking students- form Amina Sonnie at the Univ of AZ Career Services
Amina asked different companies at the UA Engineering Career Fair for their three best tips:
IBM
· Carefully read the company web site and job description for the keywords they use; if you have those skills be sure the words are used on your resume and in your interview
· During the interview show enthusiasm, look employer in the eyes, illustrate your communication skills with well thought out answers
· “Tell me about a time you helped someone” Did you help a peer, coworker who may not have understood a work or school assignment and you helped to bring them up to speed? Did you have a project that was frustrating and sought help from someone? It’s an asset to know that if someone needs your help you’ll do the best you can or if you need help that you will feel comfortable asking.
