Thanks, Michele, for the comment. You are definitely right about interviewing the employer during the interview. I find that no interview is wasted, each is an incredible learning experience, even if I’m not interested in working there. This is such an exciting-and scary–time in our lives.

Callie,
Thanks for the comment. I’m glad that you understand the importance of finding a job that really does ‘fit.’ Also, remember to have fun during interviews, when else do we get to talk about ourselves this much?

Holly,
You’ve shared helpful advice. Callie also makes a good point about finding the “right fit.”

I always tell students to remember that they should be interviewing the employer. Be prepared with good questions about the type of work, opportunities for mentoring and professional development, career path, etc. I know it may be difficult, but don’t settle for an internship or job that isn’t the right fit. The employer will appreciate this, too.

Holly,
Not only are these great suggestions, but they are thought provoking ones as well. I think sometimes, as students, we get so bogged down by following the instuctions so we can get the grade that we forget ourselves. The job may not be worth it, if it doesn’t fit who we are… and that is okay.
