Lauren: Hi, I'm Lauren from Ivey's Corporate Recruiting Team and I wanted to share 8 Top Tips I've heard from recruiters recently.
Tip #1: Networking is more genuine before the job is posted. Your curiosity will stand out.
Tip #2: Don't ask for a referral; build a relationship that warrants one. Many companies rely on referrals and even pay their employees who refer successful candidates, so cold applying just won't work.
Tip #3: You don't need previous experience to land a role. Instead, show openness to learning and demonstrate your ability to research.
Tip #4. Co-op postings could actually be internships. Apply and then ask if you need to be in a formal co-op program during the screening call. Many companies don't require this.
Tip #5: Set up your voicemail on your phone and double check your spam folder on your email. Recruiters are not going to chase or text you.
Tip #6: Whenever possible, interview in-person.
Tip #7: Know your strengths and your value proposition. Be able to articulate how you fit into the role and into the company.
Finally, tip #8: An interview question doesn't always have a right answer. Sometimes it's about showing how you problem solve and how you communicate your thinking, so be ready to share why you're choosing a certain solution.
