Attention Marketing students: PRACTICE INTERVIEWS

SIGN UP TODAY: SIGN UP is on a FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS

Did you know that the most qualified person does not always get the job or internship? Don't miss this opportunity to hone your interview skills by receiving  honest feedback about the way you dress, how you ask and answer questions, your handshake, eye contact, and other subtle (and not-so-subtle) behaviors that may be impacting how potential employers perceive you. 

Be prepared for current and future interviews for internships and full-time positions.  Take advantage of this program that has benefited so many RMU students.

 

Note: if students don't take advantage of these, employers won't offer future opportunities!
