- Send Thank You E-Mails or Cards
The On Campus Interview
- Know the institution's financial policy on travel expenses
- Consider your current employers needs and expectations
- Do your homework...literally and figuratively
- Travel day - Wear business casual when you arrive to campus. Make a good first impression!
- Once you are on campus, you have been as qualified, now it's a matter of "fit". Be yourself!
- If you have 2 or more on-campus interviews, ask your employer if you can take more time to make a decision
The Offer!
- Know what you want (salary, professional development, meals, tuition, etc.)
- Take time to make your decision - most give 2-3 days
- Negotiations - If you negotiate, do NOT reject the position if they follow through with what you want
- Once you accept a position write all other potential employers
