The Story: As an international student, I knew that if I wanted to land a job in this competitive market, I had to go above and beyond a normal job search. Therefore, I started to apply to relevant positions in the summer prior to the beginning of my graduate program. The professionals from Graduate Career Services offered me precious advice and worked with me to identify both my strengths and areas that needed improvements. The Bentley Career Fair provided me the opportunity to first meet and speak with a representative of a company that I was targeting at that time. Although my first contact did not end with an invitation for a formal interview, I was not discouraged. At a subsequent Bentley Career Fair, I had the chance to meet and speak with one of the partners of the same company. The information from my previous discussion allowed me to have a focused and engaging conversation. This proved to be crucial for being invited to a series of interviews at the company site that ended with a job offer that I have accepted.
Advice: Here is some advice that I always kept in mind and helped me in my job search:
- Consider your everyday work, whether it is group project work, campus work or volunteer work, as your most important interview. Acting professionally in all your activities will allow you to build a network of professionals willing to help you and give you reference when you need it the most.
- As for your “dream job”, be sure that you know more about the company you’re interviewing than they know themselves. Keep updated notes regarding the targeted companies and your previous discussions with its representatives. Use this information and be sure to refer to it in your future meetings/conversations. It will help you show your honest and informed interest in the company and it will prove that you have been doing your homework all along the way.
- Keep preparing for your “dream job” and be sure you can relate your previous experience and your current academic pursuit with the job you are applying to. Being well prepared and informed about the changes in your field will allow you to have successful professional conversions rather than dry standard interviews. For business professionals, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Bloomberg Businessweek are just a few of the resources that can help you stay up to date with the changes and challenges of the business field.
Best of luck!
