Looking for a quiet place to take your phone or video interview on campus? The library might seem like a great place, but our study rooms are for group study only. The MU Career Center is here for you instead.
First, check out this list to see if your school or college has its own career services office. If not, the MU Career Center will work with you to use one of their interview rooms. These rooms are in high demand, and only one room has a landline, so make your reservation sooner rather than later. (All rooms have computers with webcams and Skype.) For more information, email peiterL@missouri.edu or call 573-884-6317.
Now that you know how to find a quiet place to have your interview, do you have questions about how to do your best during the interview itself?
Here are a few best practices for online interviews:
- Remove anything from the background you don’t want employers to see.
- Test both the audio and video.
- Look at the webcam, not the screen.
Read the rest of the list and tips for phone interviews on the Career Center website.
Good luck, Tigers!
