In this episode, I’m joined by Amber Basso, an alum who works in recruiting to talk about what the recruiting profession looks like day to day—and what students should know if they want to stand out as candidates.

We discuss her daily responsibilities as a recruiter, common mistakes she sees students make, and best practices for resumes, interviews, and professional communication. We also spend time focused on career fair preparation, sharing timely advice for students as an upcoming Career Fair approaches.

Topics include:

• What recruiters do on a day to day basis
• How recruiters evaluate candidates
• Resume, Interview and follow up best practices
• Practacle tips for attending and navigating career Fairs

This episode is especially helpful for students who are preparing for a career fair, actively job searching, or simply want to better understand the recruiting process from the employer’s perspective.
