through the Pomerantz Career Center. The Interviewstream will ask questions assimilated with actual
professional interviews, and you will get to see the feedback from your interview. All you need is a
camera, or you can even schedule an interview in the interview stream room at the Pomerantz Career
Center!

questions. The people are always writing notes about your answers and your behavior. This is their first
impression of you besides what's on your resume, you want to make sure leave a lasting positive
impression to the company!

up any qualifications you have regarding what you think you can bring to the table for the company in

also have a portfolio, you can bring that as well to showcase some of your previous work and
achievements.

employment or achievements. DO NOT LIE about anything in your interview. A company won't want to
