Interview Tips and Practice Resources
Build Confidence for Your Next Interview
Interviews give you the chance to show how your skills, experiences, and personality make you a great fit. Whether it’s for a part-time job, internship, or transfer program, preparation will help you feel calm, confident, and ready to shine.
Practical steps to help you prepare:
- Research the employer—know their mission, services, and key details about the position.
- Practice common questions and prepare 2–3 specific examples of your skills (use the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result).
- Plan your outfit and logistics—dress appropriately and confirm the time, location, or virtual meeting link.
- Bring what you need—extra copies of your resume, a notepad, and questions for the interviewer.
- Show enthusiasm—smile, make eye contact, and express interest in the role.
- Follow up with a thank-you email within 24 hours.
