 Ways to get through the filtering process
 Use the buzz words
 Be 100% responsive to advertisement
 Meet someone in the organization and NAME DROP away
 Hiring bonuses – take advantage of WIIFM
 Duplicate submittals (HR and hiring manager/team/peers)
 Follow up with hiring manager/team/peers
 Practice – in the car, with your friends, ask adult mentors
 Ask about the dress code; wear a suit when in doubt
 Example – Powers Engineering
 Look professional – bring a portfolio and pen
 Bring samples of your work (hard copy and digital fine)
 Know the company – call it the right name; understand the
basics of the industry; know key definitions and projects
 Come prepared with questions
 Be assertive, honest, responsive but succinct, positive, and
energetic
 Don’t shoot yourself in the foot
 Summarize why you are a good fit
 Highlight how you will make a difference
 Managers like independent workers who strive
for greatness
 Ask about time frame
 Make sure you know who to follow up with
 Decisions are typically made right after an
interview
