Attention: Seniors preparing for job search and Juniors seeking spring or summer Internships

The newest technology at the Career Center is INTERVIEWSTREAM, a computerized interview training program. It can be accessed at the Career Center in Duques 560 or at home (using a webcam). How does it work? A recruiter (on tape) pitches interview questions at you and the webcam records your responses. You can repeat your response several times or proceed to another question. A self-evaluation allows you to rate your performance on non-verbal communication (such as eye contact, voice, posture and etiquette) as well as verbal communication (such as impressive introduction, clarity of expression, use of proper grammar, and ability to talk about skills.)

Find out more about this on GWorkSB.com It is especially recommended for Seniors who are now preparing for job interviews and Juniors seeking Spring or Summer Internships.

If you have any questions on resume writing, internships, jobs and other career oriented questions, please contact Sylvan von Burg at 202-994-3692.

On Campus Recruiting Update

All students should register on www.GWorkSB.com to use the F. David Fowler School of Business Career Center services. Students should keep their profiles updated and also frequently check the calendar section for the latest Career Center events (the business school is using the same online job management system as the main GW university career center, GWork; if you already have a GWork account, please use the same login/password info to login to www.GWorkSB.com)

For first time users, resume approval takes a minimum of 48 hours for approval so please plan ahead!
