| "I think the technical is good." | Metro |
| "Interviewer: What are candidates missing when you are interviewing and hiring for entry-level positions? Do you they come in pretty well-prepared? Are they missing some things? Employer: It depends on the school they attended. Interviewer: So, do you recruit from specific schools? Employer: We do. Interviewer: Talk a little bit about that. Employer: We recruit from Carlson, St. Thomas, St. Cloud, Duluth and we were going to Winona. And there's a significant difference between the different schools. When you go to [non-MnSCU school] it is almost like they are accountants already; they look like accountants and they talk like accountants. They know about your company. They have so many tools and resources available through career services that they are prepared and you literally—it's almost impossible to make a decision on who you're going to pursue because they're all very talented. And they know what it is that they're doing. Like I said, they have a phenomenal career services center. They also have a class that they require all entering students to take; it's about doing your resume and working at or touring the career center. So, they learn interviewing tips; they do mock interviews; they learn how to research a company; they learn how to come up with questions for a company. It's the most work they will do for one credit, but it prepares them for when they are ready for employment." |
