How to Mention Fun Facts About Yourself in a Job Search from The Balance

Preparation and following job search norms are essential – but that doesn’t mean that your application materials and interview answers should be stripped of all personality. Sharing fun facts about yourself distinguishes you from the crowd, and can make you a stronger, more appealing candidate.

How to Get Hired by Your Dream Company from The Balance

If you have a few companies that you’d really like to work for, make a point of keeping them on your radar — and getting on theirs — even before you start the job application process.

 

Your Mentoring Experience


PRE-MEETING FORMS

We have developed a pre-meeting questionnaire designed to prepare mentors for their next meeting with their mentee. The use of these forms is optional. Mentors should provide this form to their mentee if they would like them to fill it out prior to a meeting. If you have any questions or need a copy of the questionnaire, please email austin33@k-state.edu. A copy of the form can also be found on the “Resources” section of WildcatLink.


POST MEETING SURVEYS

We encourage all of our mentors and mentees to complete the post-meeting surveys following each monthly meeting.


TRAVEL GRANT AVAILABLE FOR MENTEES

Students participating in the Professional Mentoring Program may be eligible for funds to travel and visit their mentors. Visit the Travel Grant webpage or contact Austin Anderson (austin33@k-state.edu) for more information.
