You’ve heard of speed dating but what about a “speed interview?” The concept is simple – it’s a quick, 10 – 15 minute on-the-spot job interview, where our hiring managers can get to know the “you” beyond your resume. It’s what makes our seasonal career fairs unique – every registered attendee is guaranteed to meet with a member of our team!
So, you’ve landed the interview but how can you nail it? We’ve compiled our best tips to ensure you make a lasting first impression at the WorkWave Career Fair on June 21st!
To help you prepare, we asked some of our hiring managers what they’re looking for most during speed interviews:
“I want to hear the person ask me good, thoughtful questions about the company and the role they are interviewing for.” – Mike Christ, Technical Training Specialist
“The biggest thing I’m looking for is technical knowledge, do they really know the job they are interviewing for? Given the short timeframe, I’m really trying to gauge their knowledge and personality.” – David Battino, Sr. Manager, SEO
“Bring your best “elevator pitch” about your background and experience. The most important thing I’m looking for is to see if interviewees can clearly explain why they are good fit for a particular position, and why they are passionate about the role.” – Jaime Garra, Talent Acquisition Specialist
“Bottom line, do you homework on the company before coming in. It shows you’re really serious about a career at WorkWave.” – Lauren Dandusevski, Director, Channel Marketing
