Career Week will be here before you know it, and one event that I am very excited about is Speed Interview Bootcamp. Taken from the concept of speed dating, this this workshop is going to allow students to bring their resumes and interview with 10 different business professionals in one night.
Students should bring all of the information they would normally bring to an interview and really practice their elevator pitch. The first impression is going to be even more crucial with only 2 minutes with each business leader. Each professional will ask different questions and offer instant feedback on what is working, and what needs to be improved upon in the student's interview skills. In an hour and a half, each student will be able to leave with constructive feedback from 10 local business leaders. It is like condensing the skills learned from 10 separate interviews in the length of one. This will be a great chance for students to get great practice with interviewing, without the pressure of landing the job. This workshop is also a great way for students to fine-tune their personal presentations before meeting companies at The Professional Forum career and internship fair on Friday.
Speed Interview Bootcamp will be taking place Tuesday Feb. 22nd from 6:30pm to 8:00pm in PMU 118. There will only be 30 spots available, and registration is required. Students can register online at our website: cla.purdue.edu/lacw
