Now that you have been offered a pre-scheduled interview for the 2023 Equal Justice Works Career Fair, it’s time to polish those interviewing skills so that you can stand out as a candidate. Here are some tips to help you get ready for your virtual interview:
- Set up a mock interview, virtual or in-person, with any of our experienced Career Strategists via Symplicity. They can help you refine your interview responses and work on the questions that make you nervous.
- Check out the Career Center Interview Guide. It includes tips and suggestions on how to stand out among the pool of applicants and includes different types of questions that you can practice ahead of your interview.
- Be sure to research the employer and the interviewer so that you can be informed about the organization and can ask meaningful questions in the interview.
When it comes time for the interview:
- Make sure that you are in a location with stable internet. You do not want a lag in your answers. If you need a space to conduct your interview at the law school, contact Career Services with at least 48-hours notice to see if we can locate a room for you.
- Try to avoid having a distracting background. I would recommend either blurring your background or downloading a virtual background for the interview, like one of the many WashU virtual backgrounds.
Good luck! You’ve got this.
