Job Search

The main reason why anyone goes to college is to get a job when they graduate. Here at IRE, the faculty assisted us in this process by having all the students submit a job search package which included a cover letter and resume. These documents were reviewed by the faculty and the students were given feedback with suggestions for improvement. The students were then called for mock phone interviews, from these interviews students were given feedback and advice for improvements. Some students get nervous during interviews and the best way to eliminate nervousness is to practice interviewing. After the phone interviews, students took part in three live interviews, in which the students were asking the questions and one in which they were being interviewed by a panel of faculty members, industry representatives, and peers. These interviews were recorded for the students to review on their own and they were given feedback from all the panel members. This is a huge help to those who have had little or no experience with searching for a job.
