Going Back Home
- Never include personal information, such as, your weight, height,
birthday, age, religious affiliation or marital status in your resume.
- Resumes and cover letters should be typed and submitted on high quality,
bond "resume" paper. Avoid fancy colors and styles.
- Dress in a suit for the interview.
- The handshake is extremely important as it demonstrates your confidence
and ability to meet new people. Practice it!
- "American" eye contact is also vital and may seem
uncomfortable for some international students. Practice it!
- Slow down and enunciate carefully, especially if you think you have an
"accent" for the interviewer.
- RELAX but remain alert and focused. Smile occasionally but avoid laughing
as it may seem like nervousness!
- It is important to speak confidently about your strengths and experiences
in an American interview. This may seem like "bragging" to some
people. Sell YOURSELF!
- Pay attention to your body language. Gestures are fine! Try not to slump
or be "machine" like!
