What It Takes To Get Hired by Daniel O'Brien (RSM McGladrey)
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 5:00 PM in Stephens Hall 310
On Wednesday, September 30 the members of the e-Business Association received helpful tips, do's and don'ts in the hiring process, among other information as Daniel O'Brien (Manager, Human Resources at RSM McGladrey) provided his insight to "What It Takes To Get Hired" - a very important topic for todays students. As we are currently facing the worst job market since the Great Depression this topic couldn't have hit home any harder. In the past year the unemployment rate has risen steadily and the job market has become more competitive making it difficult for graduating students to land a job. Those that attended the event now have a better understanding of questions to ask interviewers, how to dress to impress, and what it means to be prepared for an interview.
This presentation turned into a very interactive discussion as the participants were engaged in the discussion with Dan. Basic interview tips were covered as well as a handful of questions were asked from the audience which generated a lively discussion. It is so important to present yourself as best as you can as the "first impression" can also be your "last impression." Students must have a clear understanding of this concept and must be mindful of how they conduct their activities. It is extremely important to gain as much experience as you can, meet people and build relationships, and effectively apply the knowledge that is taught in the classroom - all of these are factors for a successful future. So now ask yourself, do you have what it takes to get hired?
