Interview Day
Always bring extra resumes to interviews. You should also bring a list of your references in case it is requested on an application. Many interviews are behavioral based. That means the employer will ask for specific examples of how you performed in a given situation.
Example: Tell me about a time when you gave exceptional customer service.
Example: Tell me about a time when you demonstrated leadership.

Post Interview - Thank You Email
Following the interview, you will send a thank-you email to your interviewers within 24 hours. Request the recruiters' business cards so you have their title and correct address. If you did not get a business card, check on Handshake or contact SIRC. See a sample thank you letter below.
