Studying for the Job

摘要

Put down your calculator. Stop chugging espressos during late night cram sessions. Your 3.5 Grade Point Average (GPA) may catch the eye of a recruiter, but if you don't know what companies expect from a University of Wisconsin-Madison engineer, you may as well stop studying.What can you do to start preparing for your interview session? One way to start preparing is to develop a strong resume. Mark Berg, Human Resource Manager for Green Heck Fan, recommends that you include all the necessary information such as your GPA, your major, your work experience and your outside experience. "Make sure it's easy to read, there isn't too much or too little on the page," said Berg. "Also, do not use a functional resume. Functional resumes list certain skills. I don't like those because it doesn't tell we where they (students) gained it from."
