Since I have filled out dozens of applications combined for full time positions and internships and have had around 20 interviews, and 2 offers, I'm going to give you all some advice from a peer about how to go about interviews, what works, and what doesn't work! Note: MOST of this is for IT ONLY, but some of this can be aimed towards any field!
I discovered most of this through personal experience, advice from friends, advice from professors, and advice from a couple people I know who are already in the field.
You probably know how it feels to be minding your own business. Your phone goes off. You don't recognize the phone number, but it's from a familiar area code and you decide to answer the phone anyways. “Hello may I speak to _____? This is_____ from _____”. You are now ecstatic because you have landed an interview! This may also come in email form as well!
I will be creating posts based on concepts that I deem integral for having a successful interview. The links to each page will be provided!
