Real World 101: Interview Informania Workshop

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center

Have you ever wondered how to land the perfect job or how to dress to impress? Find out today and come by our interview information workshop that we are having from 5-7 p.m. at the Alumni Center this Wednesday!

The plan: First, there will be a short introduction lecture about basic interviewing skills, followed by two rounds of informal interviews, where you can put your skills to the test in both general and behavioral interviews. Members of the Texas Exes (Alumni) will conduct 2 interviews with each student and give valuable feedback to each one as well as share experiences they have had interviewing for jobs.

This is a chance for you to really fine-tune your interviewing skills in a more casual setting as well as gain a bunch of valuable resources to use in the future!

Dress is business casual, but if you do not have the specific clothing to meet those requirements, just dress appropriately as you can for the occasion. You don't want to make the wrong impression!

Now You Can Benefit from Job Shadowing All Year-Round!

The Texas Exes Job Shadowing Program is a year-round effort to introduce UT students to the world of work through job shadowing experiences.

For UT students:

• Get a view into all aspects involved in a job. You can observe not only job characteristics and responsibilities, but also what a profession requires on day-to-day basis
• Learn first-hand what it takes to make it in your field of choice from the people who know best –Texas Exes
• Solidify your career choice. Like test driving a car, UT students get to experience a side of their major that they normally wouldn’t be exposed to until post-graduation. They can try it out for a specified time to see if their career choice is a good fit for their personal strengths and personality type

For Texas Exes alumni:

• Motivate and prepare UT students to excel  and preserve the value of a UT degree
• Demonstrate a tangible commitment to supporting and improving the Longhorn community
• Realize the personal satisfaction that comes from mentoring a UT student
