I am not talking about ignorance here, I am talking about the mindset you get when you limit your thoughts to a distance or a radius. Let me explain: I had to run up to the library the other day and as I was preparing to leave I found myself wondering if there was anything else that I needed to drop off “up there” – to be efficient? to be lazy? – I’m not sure. Then I realized as I was walking up there that, for some reason, I was thinking of this trip as a trek; as if walking to the [...]

Career Fairs, like Employer Expo (on 9/20) and other networking events provide an opportunity for you to explore careers, gather information from prospective employers, and develop contacts to use in the course of your job or internship search.

According to the survey, Responses indicate that the increase in college hiring will be highest in the Midwest, where employers expect to hire 18.5 percent more college graduates in 2012 than they did in 2011. Employers in the West also anticipate a double-digit increase—11.5 percent. Why [...]

Behavioral Interviews, or Behavioral-Based Interviews (BBI), is a technique used by employers to learn about your past behavior in particular situations to help determine how you would perform on the job and fit into the organization. “Enthusiasts believe that past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior…more recent behavior is a better predictor of future behavior than older behavior, and that long-standing trends are better predictors of behavior [...]

You may have heard this term thrown around but do you really know what a case interview is? If you are hoping to go into the management, consulting or the investment banking area then you definitely NEED TO KNOW because a case interview will almost definitely be a part of your interview process. In a case interview the job applicant is given a question, situation, problem or challenge and asked to solve it. The case problem or challenge is often [...]
