page. The info is from the Human Rights

* Interview tips –
There is a
general belief out there that recruiters, when they call your home, want to
catch you “off guard”. While this may or
may not be true there is a way to be prepared.
Rule #1 of phones clearly states: You don’t have to answer the phone if
you don’t want to. You should never pick
up the phone if you’re not prepared to speak to a recruiter. So if there are children screaming, pets out
of control or you’re just in a bad space let the machine get it (you have a
professional sounding recording on there right?). Then when things have
calmed down call that person back.
You can be more prepared by having copies of your resume and jobs you’ve
applied for near the phone.
Have a great summer
and please remember that Career Services is open to help you in your Job Search!
