Ace the Interviews Part 1: Resume Critiques + Mock Interviews
|
On September 10th, 2020, WIF introduced our two-part “Ace the Interview” series for the fall term. Part 1 focused on resume critiques and mock interviews, while part 2 will be a Recruiting Workshop. This event was designed specifically for students interested in pursuing a career in the finance industry. We had a panel of successful, smart, and experienced upper-year volunteers who sat one-on-one with students to help them tailor their resume and sharpen their interview skills to prepare for co-op job postings. Students obtained focused advice, and had the opportunity to create a gateway for a long-term relationship with an upper-year already in the finance industry.
