Michelle, Having the mock interviewer as someone who is in the field and knows what to ask is crucial. Elizabeth Kemler

Michelle, Yes I agree Michelle-tolerance-or better yet, acceptance is key, as is team building and I do believe the five keys help to promote both those things. Elizabeth Kemler

Utilizing Networks

Holly , Again, our approach is identical. I like that you encourage students to set up a meeting; talking face to face is always preferable as it gives the student a chance to express more fully what they are looking for in a job, and how they hope to be represented. Elizabeth Kemler

Powerful Cover Letters

Holly , I love the way you put this: "that they are a representation of all they have work and studied for". It's easy for students to look at these documents as just a formality; by presenting them in this way, you're ensuring students recognize their importance. Elizabeth Kemler

Preparing Students for Interviews

Susan, Great idea on the information interview; it is such a good way to get some practice in a professional but lower pressure environment. The situation-based questions are also a great thing to practice; they give the employer a better idea of who the candidate is and how they will perform on the job, than the 'tell me about yourself' type questions.
