Interview Day and Follow-up

On the appropriate date, come to Room 103 to determine where your interview will take place. Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early. Check with us for any last minute instructions, then have a seat next to the interview room reserved for your firm. The firm name/names of interviewers will be posted outside their interview room at the beginning of each day. The interviewer will call your name when ready for you. Be prepared for an occasional late start, so try to not schedule back-to-back interviews. If necessary, we encourage interviewers to remain on schedule.

Interviews are typically 20 minutes in length. Before you leave the interview, ask the employer for a time-frame concerning a second interview (callback). It is important to obtain a business card so that you can write thank you notes.

Be sure to send a thank-you note to the interviewer. You have no idea how infrequently it is done and what a pleasant touch it is. Make certain to check spelling and names, and that you personalize the note. The note may be handwritten or typed.
