- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College
Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:

"Acing Your On-Campus Interview"

After the initial introductions are made, there is usually a long,
silent walk back to the interview room. It may be a short period of
time, but it can often feel like a death march. Instead of walking
silently behind the interviewer, take the opportunity to establish
a basic level of rapport. As you begin "the walk," whether it is 5
feet or 500 feet, comment to the interviewer, "I appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you today." Wait for a response, then
prompt with a well-selected bragging point about the interviewer's
company, showing that you have done your research. A bragging point
is something the employees of the company would be particularly
proud to note. It can usually be found in the President's letter to
the shareholders in the company's annual report. An example would
be: "I understand that your company has been growing at over 30
percent per year for the last five years. It must be an exciting
time to be working for XYZ." Always choose what you feel will be
the number one bragging point for the company. Turn the tables and
look at it from the employer's point of view. What would be their
selling point in attracting new employees to work for their
company? When you show that you have detailed knowledge of the
company in one area, it will be assumed that you have even greater
knowledge about the company in general. Set up this bragging point
as an opener on your way to the interview room and you will not
only show your knowledge of the company, you will also set a level
of rapport that will guide you through the course of the interview.

If you have done your job well in researching the company, carry
the company information with you to the interview--not packed away
in your folder, but out where it can be seen. Most recruiters will
notice immediately that you have an advanced edition of what they
may have been giving to others at the end of the interview. It
shows that you have done your homework.

Where to get this information? The Career Center usually has a
company folder with materials gathered from past visits. Don't
worry if the information is six months or a year out of date, since
it will give the recruiter the opportunity to update you on the
latest.

Make sure you know the information inside and out. This is not just
a prop for show, since you will be expected to have read the full
contents if you are carrying it. Be ready and willing to
demonstrate your basic understanding of the company when asked.
Good preparation will always impress an on-campus recruiter, whose
day often consists of explaining, over and over, what their company
does for a living. Finally, someone who understands in advance. You
have made an instant connection.

Do not take your on-campus interview lightly. Although it was
"free" to you and easier to come by than direct contact with the
company, the competition is intense.

To ace your on-campus interview, you will need to read (and study)
all of the information contained in the Interviewing Success
section of this book. All of the preparation. All of the questions.
All of the techniques. All of the strategies. Be prepared in
advance.

If you treat every interview as if it were your last (in both a
positive and a negative sense), you will be more focused on
affecting the end result.

On-campus interviewing is a gift. Treat it with high value.

- Job Search Book Online

There are at least two other entry level Web sites that offer books
on job searching, proclaiming that they will tell you everything
you need to know about entry level job search.

However, there is a very important point about these books they
don't mention up front: they cost money.

At CollegeGrad.com, we give you two things they don't:

1. The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").

2. It's free.

It's that simple. So don't buy the hype. Read the real
information you need online:

http://www.CollegeGrad.com/book

Don't ever pay for books or reports or resources of lower quality
when you can access the very best quality information for free.

P.S. Yes, you can buy "College Grad Job Hunter" in hardcopy format
as well at Amazon.com for $15 (actually, 30% off that price), but
the online version is better. Why? Because the version at
Amazon.com (the 2003 edition) is being continually updated at
CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is
actually the online, free version.
