Dear Student,

As part of UMass Dartmouth's Career Development Week, you are invited to participate in a "Speed Interviewing and Networking Session" on Monday, April 14^th from 4pm-6pm in Woodland Commons.

What can you expect?

Speed interviewing is a fun and informative event that allows you the opportunity to have several mock interviews with professionals in a very short time.  Think of "speed dating".

You will have the opportunity to answer top interview questions by several professionals in a fast-moving process.  Each interviewer will have a different question to ask you and you will have approximately 5 minutes to respond before moving on to the next interviewer.  This means you have to think on your feet.  Take advantage of this opportunity to practice your interview skills in a fun format.  Please RSVP to Lisa Ayotte - layotte@umassd.edu by April 11^th.

Here are some suggestions on how to prepare:

1. Be prepared to introduce yourself and briefly explain your career goals.
2. Make a positive impression through grooming and professional dress.  If you are unsure about what to wear visit:  http://jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewattire/a/interviewdress.htm

4. Make eye contact and exercise good posture.
5. Act mature and professional yet positive and enthusiastic.
6. Pay close attention and listen carefully in order to respond appropriately in the time allotted.
7. Be prepared by researching top interview questions.  Familiarize yourself with what employers want to know.
8. Bring your cell phone and a friend to video tape your responses so you can learn from this process and enhance your skills for future interviews.
