General Description 

The Interview Contest is an opportunity to practice the real-life skills needed to apply for a job. Specifically, this contest serves as a development opportunity for students to receive feedback and constructive critiques on their cover letter and resume writing, and interview skills. The contest is divided into two divisions: (1) undergraduate students and (2) graduate students. The contest is also divided into two rounds: 

(1) Preliminary round: Participants will prepare a resumé and cover letter for one position of their choice from the Interview Contest Job Descriptions.

Format 

1. This contest has two divisions: (1) undergraduate and (2) graduate and includes two rounds of review.

Contestants should submit a resume and cover letter specific to the position they are “applying” to by tailoring their own personal skills and experiences, in addition to skills and experiences they may add in the future, that align with the skills and experiences the job description is asking for. Remember that this contest is a simulation of the job application process and contestants may have limited or no experience. In these cases, consider highlighting transferable skills from classes or co-curriculars. It is acceptable to describe skills and experiences that you have not yet had (but would fit the requirements of the job description) in your resume, cover letter, and/or the interview portions of this contest. Just make sure to remove embellishments for future real applications!
