Boost Your Interview IQ

Are you sure you're the best candidate for the job, but not sure how to say so? 

Here are some tips to help you make your case:

1. Join Carole Martin, author of Boost Your Interview IQ, on June 3 at 8 pm EST to learn how to increase your confidence and dramatically improve the impression you make in interviews. During What You Don’t Say in an Interview Can Hold You Back, Carole will share her strategies to help you build a personal narrative that showcases your skills, knowledge, and personality. 

2. Check out Eric Cramer’s presentation on Active Interviewing in our archive.

3. As you research the company (and person you will be interviewing with), put together a chart of the key points you’ve learned in your research. Work these points into your interview answers and practice these answers out loud. 

4. The Muse website has reliably good advice on many career topics, including what you must communicate in interviews. 

5. Read Bernard Marr’s article to make sure you are ready for the one interview question most people aren’t prepared for. 

Tufts Career Networking Moves to LinkedIn

Tufts Alumni Career Services is excited to announce the launch of the Tufts Career Networking Group on LinkedIn. We’re inviting alumni from all Tufts schools and programs to join now. The group will provide a forum for career and professional development questions, informational interview requests, discussions, resource sharing, and building your own network.

The LinkedIn group will replace the Tufts Career Advisory Network (TuftsCAN), currently available in the Online Community. The new group will offer improved networking tools on the world’s largest professional networking platform.

All you need to become a member is a Linkedin profile. Create a profile today if you don’t already have one. Then join the group and help us leverage the power of LinkedIn with the tremendous career capital of Tufts alumni.

New to LinkedIn, or want to do more with your profile? Check out our LinkedIn resources page for helpful information. William Arruda offers the best tips I’ve seen yet on developing a summary that communicates what’s most important about you to the audience you want to reach.  

Check out the archived Career Author Webinars for more strategies to help you make LinkedIn work for you. Viveka Von Rosen shares how to Let LinkedIn Market Your Skills and Experience and other speakers and webinars offer additional perspectives.
