Tips to Ace the Interview - Research, Research, Research

If you want to start a business, it's often said that the secret is "location, location, location." If you want to interview well, one of the best ways to prepare is to "research, research, research." When applying for positions, it is easy to forget that the process is always one of mutual selection: You choose where to apply, and the employer chooses a candidate to hire. Often, a key factor in the employer's decision is the answer to a simple question: How well does the candidate understand the position and the organization?

With a small investment of time, you can equip yourself with the knowledge you need to show you've done your homework on the role of the position, the industry, and the organization.

Here are a few recommended resources for your research.

1. The organization's website. Most organizations have an "About Us" section on their website that provide a quick overview of what they do and their history. In addition "News" or "Press" sections of sites often include information about events, partnerships, or new product features. This can provide you with a sentence or two in your cover letter. You can also use this information to formulate interview questions specific to the employer.
2. Vault Guides. Career Services subscribes to Vault, a provider of "in-depth intelligence on what it's really like to work in an industry, company or profession—and how to position yourself to land that job." You can access Vault through DartBoard's Resource Library. Once you log into Vault, visit the Guides in the right hand menu to see a range of resources ranging from how to handle a case interview to employer profiles and guides for careers in industries including energy, film and healthcare. .
3. Use databases available through the Dartmouth Library. From the library's homepage, search the Library Catalog for Databases.If you are applying for a position with a nonprofit organization, use GuideStar to search for information ranging from mission and impact programs to number of employees and financial health.If you are applying for a position with a for-profit organization, check out MarketLine Advantage, you can search for companies by name and industry. Results often include news updates, history, financial reporting, and listings of senior leadership.
4. Take notes on information you find, keeping a close eye on three areas.
   
   
   • Organizational culture: Do you have a feel for what the organization does and their general operating philosophy?
   • Fit: Do you understand the position that you've applied for? Can you see how your skills and experience would be a good fit for the organization?
   • Items of interest: Have you gathered any fun facts or information that you can use in an interview question -- or mention to demonstrate your interest in the organization?

   
   
   You are doing well if you emerge from your research with the ability to tell a friend, professor or your grandmother what the company does, what you'd be doing if hired, and what's exciting about the opportunity. You will also be ready to demonstrate your clear understanding of what the job is and why it is the right opportunity for you.
   Good luck!

Intern Stories: Amber Porter '14 on Kennedy Center Internships

AMBER PORTER '14

Position: Intern Location: John F. Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts, Washington, D.C. Date: Fall Term 2012

1. How did you find the internship? 

   I am addicted to job and internship hunting. I saw a number of interesting internships in Chicago, but The Kennedy Center internship was particularly appealing because it offered structured professional development programs.I followed the guidelines on the website to apply. The application process was intensive and required a cover letter, resume, two letters of recommendation, and a formal application.

2. Tell us about your internship? The Kennedy Center hires 30 interns every semester, each of them is assigned to a different office. I worked in an office called Performing Arts for Everyone, an initiative that offers a different performance every day at 6 pm on the Kennedy's Center Millennium Stage. All performances offered by the program are free and open to the public.I joined a small staff team of five full-time employees. We worked collaboratively on assignments. One of the primary tasks I was assigned was to work directly with visiting artists to create performance programs for each event. Once a week I ran the entire performance, working directly with the tech crew, artists, and ushers to ensure house management and stage management ran smoothly.
3. What was most satisfying about your internship? My desk was outside the office of a Vice President. He would often take breaks to come outside and talk to me about his work and what we were working on. He asked me for some coaching on social media – Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter – and we set up formal appointments for me to train him.He also assigned me special projects. My favorite was working on Woody Guthrie's 100^th birthday commemoration concert featuring many of today’s leading American folk musicians. I got to curate sound clips from an archived interview with Guthrie from the 1930s to use in between the acts during the performance. It was fabulous to have such an active and creative role in something so important.
4. Where did you live and how did you find housing? I lived in Thompson Markward Hall, an old-fashioned women's boarding house in DC that charges $925 for a single room, breakfast and dinner every day.I learned about the boarding house from U.S. Senator Tom Udall's office; I had interned for the Senator in his New Mexico office during high school.
5. What are you involved in at Dartmouth? I am a student stage manager for the Theater Department, which takes up most of my time.  I also work for the Hopkins Center both as house manager and as a student assistant in the Director's Office.  In addition, I am a UGA.
6. How did you choose to major in Theater? 

   I'd initially thought I'd be a campaign manager and major in Mathematical & Social Sciences. But my randomly assigned faculty advisor was the Theater Department Chair and I was attracted by the small department and by how the students and the faculty worked together as a family. The Theater Department open house was where I realized I could use all the skills and interests that had made me interested in campaign management to delve into the realm of theater. I'd enjoyed the theater work I'd done in middle and high school and took a Stage Management class at Dartmouth that sealed the deal.

7. Does this internship affect your future plans regarding post-graduate activity? 

   The internship helped me further refine my career goals.Before this internship, I knew I wanted to go into Arts Administration – which isn't a field we learn about a great deal. Through my internship, I learned more about Arts Administration as an industry – and all of the different categories of work that fall under the umbrella of work in Arts Administration.Before the program, I thought I'd graduate and work in the arts in development or as an assistant until I found my way. The internship – and my classes at Dartmouth – have helped me realize that I am a very kinetic learner in that I'm aptly suited for working at hands-on projects. I now want to be a producer.

   Now that I know what I want to do, I'm conducting a lot of informational interviews – and have learned there's not a specific path to being a Producer. I'm going to work on gaining the skills others have advised me to develop in programming and non-profit administration for starters.

   How has Dartmouth supported you in your career development?

   I visited Career Services for help with my resume and cover letter. I also worked with my theater professors to learn more about the industry, opportunities available, and arts-specific resume tips.

Internships and FAQ: What to Do if You're Asked about Academic Credit

 What do I do if an employer tells me that I need to be able to obtain ‘credit’ for an unpaid internship? Academic credit is not available for an internship experience; however, you can ask Career Services to provide the employer with a  'Letter of Support,' coupled with a letter from the Dean of Faculty, explaining that the college is supportive of the educational value of an internship. Oftentimes, this is sufficient for the employer.  If not, be sure to email Dartmouth Career Services at career.services@dartmouth.edu for further advice and strategy.

10 Savvy Career Strategies for Interim

Suddenly, the end of the semester is rapidly approaching. As you begin to prepare for exams and Dartmouth's first-ever six week vacation between fall and winter terms, here are 10 ways to keep moving forward with your career over break:

1. Participate in Career Services Job Shadowing program. Over 300 alumni and parents are offering to share their expertise with current students through a job shadowing opportunity. You should have received information on the program via blitz on Friday, November 2; if not -- contact Career Services at 603-646-2215.
2. Find a regional Dartmouth alumni club in your area. Any parties or programs planned? Contact the leadership and ask if you can be of help. Why is this a good strategy -- even if you feel intimidated? Dartmouth alumni and regional club leaders enjoy talking to current students, especially those who are interested in getting to know them! Many alumni may also have potential hiring needs -- or leads on local employers who are seeking students.
3. Reach out to an alum and ask about an informational interview. Check out the Dartmouth Career Network -- we have over 23,000 alumni who have volunteered to help. Ask questions, get advice, and strategies you can put to use in your job or internship search. (Check out suggested questions and best practices on contacting alums here.)
4. Interested in moving to a city different from where you went to high school? Plan a trip on your own or with friends -- and invite Dartmouth alumni to join you for coffee on an individual basis. Scope out a city, industry, or career field. The choice is yours.
5. Explore projects and volunteer opportunities at non-profit organizations through Idealist.org
6. If you live in a community affected by Superstorm Sandy or any other challenging situation, volunteer. It's highly likely you'll meet others in the process who are interested in learning about you, and how they can be of help to you. Even if you don't make any networking connections useful for your job search, you still have another item for your resume.
7. Help attract talent to Dartmouth. Contact the Admissions office and see how you can help out with local initiatives in your hometown or high school.
8. Volunteer at your high school.It's always nice to preserve and strengthen relationships with former teachers, coaches, and staff.
9. Prepare for your job or internship search. Deadlines for applying for winter term interviews don't start until January, but you'll be able to see who's coming to campus starting November 19 in DartBoard.
10. Allow yourself time for a long winter's nap. Make sure you catch up on the sleep you missed over exam week -- and get ready for a great January!
