鈥淏e yourself. When you're doing an interview, talk about the things that you're passionate about. Keep it real.鈥� 鈥�Bobby, School of Public Health, Loma Linda
鈥淢ake sure, if there is an agency you're interested in, that you educate yourself about it before asking for a job or an internship. It shows that you're more than
just some random person.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;鈥揤ivian, La Paz
鈥淚 would recommend that they be themselves. Be open-minded. We want someone to be driven, someone who has a goal. Energetic in their own way. We look for those things. We want people who are positive.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;鈥�Arvin, Reliance Partners
鈥淢ake sure you have the right contact info: address, phone number, and email. A professional email address. Those small things can really make a difference. Make sure things are chronological
and in bold (in your resume). Make sure your skill sets that match the job description
are out where people can see them. Use bullet points. When you go to an interview, arrive a minimum of 30 minutes early. If possible, look up the organization dress code. The better you fit the dress code, the easier they can see you in the position.鈥�

鈥�Go in prepared. Know the company; read up about it.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;鈥�Matt, McKee Foods
鈥�Dress the role. Don't wear a tux, but don't come in jeans. You want them to remember your outfit in a good way.鈥�&苍产蝉辫;鈥�Andrew, McKee Foods
