On the fifth floor of the L-B-J Student Center, Texas State students can receive help at Career Services. In this Bobcat Update, Elizabeth Millner reports on the steps that can be taken to prepare for a job interview.

Practicing for job interviews can be intimidating. However, Career Services makes the process less overwhelming.
Before students meet with potential employers, they can meet with career counselors to improve their resumes, cover letters and interviewing skills.
The Associate Director of Career Services, Ralph Leal, says employers will always ask one simple question at every interview.

Leal says it's important for students to do their research and be prepared not only to answer questions during an interview but to ask questions as well.

Although face-to-face interviews are very common, interviews might be conducted over the phone or through an online video stream. A new link on the Career Services website named interview-stream-dot-com allows students to conduct online interviews and then review them to correct any mistakes they may have made.

SU: Online resources such as interviewstream.com give students another opportunity to practice for interviews before meeting with potential employers.
After preparing for a job interview, looking professional is the next step. If you are unsure of how to dress professionally for an interview, you are able to rent business professional attire from Career Services. The clothing is free to all Texas State students and must be dry cleaned when returned to the Career Closet. For Bobcat Update, I'm Elizabeth Millner.
