INTERVIEWING!!!
So you have landed an interview, congratulations! Now the real preparation begins. It is important to learn about the art of interviewing and practice sound interviewing techniques by gaining knowledge of how to better sell yourself to an interviewer and to present powerful interview answers. The suggestions below will help you get started.
- Make a list of ten strengths (you have many more). Think in terms of the job you are seeking. Write down those ten strengths and then make a list of examples you could use to demonstrate those skills. This will give you a battery of answers for typical interview questions. For assistance in skills identification, read our Transferable Skills handout and check the skills you are able to demonstrate.
- Call 414-288-7423 to schedule a mock interview or mock phone interview with a career counselor.

Dear Dot,
I went to the career fair last week and have been applying for jobs on my own. I finally have a few interviews set up. Besides getting my suit dry cleaned what else should I do to get ready?
Also, I've noticed that I missed some deadlines for applying to jobs on MU Career Manager. Is there anything I can do?
