Interviewing Workshop
Students interested in Co-op hone their interviewing skills. A professional who works with Engineering students and employers will help you understand how you appear to the employer during an interview and how to make that appearance work in your favor. If you are unsure about how to answer certain questions in the interview, the etiquette involved, or even how to dress, this workshop will help. A role-play exercise demonstrates effective interview strategies.

Making a Good First Impression on the Job
The importance of making a good first impression cannot be overstated. Employers observe your demeanor, mannerisms, and body language; the impression you make is very difficult to reverse. You might already know what employers value, but how do you convey to them that you have these qualities? This interactive workshop will enhance your confidence, professionalism, and performance.
