Remember to answer each interview question using the STAR method using examples from your background and experience. Talk about a Situation or Task (S-T), the Action you took (A) and the Results achieved (R). This will help you stand out from the crowd as your experiences are unique to you!

Looking for New Opportunities

Leave a comment

If you are searching for new opportunities and are having a hard time figuring out where to start, take a stab at the below activity:

1. Find 5 companies/employers in your field that are interesting to you

2. Print out the job description and write down five likes and dislikes for each position
3. Search for two people’s contact info from the above jobs you listed. Go on LinkedIn and try to connect, try reaching out to alumnae from your undergraduate university, tap into your network to see if anyone has a friend of a friend who works where you want to.

The above activity should help you refine your search and start pointing you in the right direction.
