Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

[WisconsinWildcard]

getting an interview is huge! That's great news.
There's a zillion pieces of advice one can find online about how to answer questions, but I'd say to stress this one basic thing that so many forget: research the company (and your interviewer, if you know who they are) and come with a few good questions! If all else fails, ask what a successful candidate would look like six months in.

not sure exactly what kind of tech, but I've had brilliant U of M engineers show up to my interview dressed in a flannel shirt and khakis. Look neat and professional. Most of the candidates will likely have the skills to meet the role technically, so those in person skills will set him apart.

and above all else, pray the interviewer isn't a sconnie or a nodak

This is great advice. I just met with an undergrad yesterday and gave similar advice (know as much as you can about the company/med school you are interviewing at to appear interested and dress sharp).

My only quibble is that (most of) us sconnies have much more in common with you all from Minnesota than you think, as long as you avoid 80% of our state

No defense of nodak however

Maybe look for a job in Europe? Only a matter of time until American companies work on government-approved projects only.

Sorry I should have worded that better - he's good on all that I was thinking more about his chosen field since you seem to have had a lot of experience at least some what relatedly.

yeah I also spent years doing hundreds of on campus interviews so it is def an area I know well

kep,
Europe's job market is trash right now. they're starting to close some of the doors, and entry level would be really tough over there. as someone fluent in a language it's nearly impossible unless you're a Phd. starting at an international company and transferring there may be easier path right now. but we are not a serious country so hopefully we can create some more permanent paths out
