Company-Site Interviewing Success
\"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.\"
—Henry David Thoreau
The company-site interview may be scheduled after successfully passing the on-campus
screening interview, a phone interview, or it may be the first and subsequent interviews
that result from contacting off-campus employers. No matter how you get there, the
company-site interview is typically the required final step in the interview process before an
eventual job offer. However, you first need to survive the close scrutiny that comes along
with it. Instead of meeting with just one person, you may be meeting with three or four.
Instead of a simple half hour interview, you may be subjected to a half or full day of
interviews. And tests and assessments. But with all the anticipated rewards now dangling
within view.
The company-site interview is also your final opportunity to evaluate the company. You will
be given the opportunity to see the inside of the company and meet with some of the key
people. You will learn more about the company work culture. Possibly some of the people
with whom you will be working. And you will gain a better understanding of the true work
environment.
