Internships

The KWU Career Center is here to help seek out and connect local, national, and inter-national internship opportunities to Kansas Wesleyan University students.  The Career Center regularly emails internship opportunities to students as they become available.  There are also workshops throughout the year on seeking, applying for, and making the most of internship opportunities for advancing your career.   If you have any questions about internships, please stop by the KWU Student Development Office or contact Claudette Humphrey.

为了帮助你更好地保护自己免受欺诈性千亿国际登录的侵害,这里有几件事要记住

  • Research the company: Web sites, Better Business Bureau, the United States Federal Trade Commission, the local Chamber of Commerce, ask around to see if others have had any experiences with the company posting the position, etc.
  • 做出明智的决定:大多数雇主在你到达他们的办公室参加面试并收到正式的工作申请之前不会要求你提供个人信息. So be wary if you are asked to give your Social Security Number by phone, email, or online.
  • Check references: Ask for references if you’re not sure about the company’s legitimacy and check them.
  • Think twice: If it sounds too good to be true, you can be sure it is!
  • Be careful meeting people: The first time you meet someone in-person, take a friend along or meet and stay in public places. Be sure someone knows where you’re going and when to expect you back. Take your cell phone and have a friend call periodically. Take along some form of personal protection.
  • If someone tries to get you into a situation you are not comfortable with, don’t hesitate to refuse, leave or do whatever is necessary to protect yourself. NOTHING THAT ANYONE ELSE DOES CAN OBLIGATE YOU TO COMPROMISE YOUR OWN SAFETY!
  • If you suspect a job posting is fraudulent, please contact Claudette Humphrey by email or by phone: (785) 833-4326.

Interviewing

Interviews

Interviewing is the last step of the hiring process and the most important. Interviews serve two purposes. 对于未来的雇主来说,面试是一个收集候选人信息和评估候选人与职位是否“合适”的机会. For you – the candidate – the interview is an opportunity to highlight your skills, abilities, personal qualities, and enthusiasm for the position. Additionally, 这也是你面试未来雇主的机会,并评估“适合”是否适合你.

Interviewing Resources

成功的面试和失败的面试之间的区别通常就在于你事先的准备. 就像生活中的大多数事情一样,你准备得越多,练习得越多,你就越有可能达到你想要的结果. The following are links to documents that will assist you with your preparations:
