Interview

Four years of rigorous studying and late-night library sessions led you to the final destination: interviewing for jobs post college. Need help on how to interview? Our writers talked to college graduates, career center experts, hiring managers and more to find the best interview tips to land you that dream job.

According to Glassdoor, a corporate job opening usually garners around 250 resumes. With around 4-6 candidates receiving the opportunity to interview, you want to nail every question.

We’ll help you prepare for how to answer common job interview questions. And don’t forget to play your part so you master the terrifying moment at the end when you get to ask questions in your interview.

Interview prep can make or break you as a candidate, from knowing your strengths to dressing for success. An interview can mark the beginning of your climb to the corner office. Make that climb steep and steady with the perfect first impression in your interview.
