Interview Tips

Search and apply to all jobs that you're interested in. If a Sun Hiring Manager is interested in you, they will call or email you for an interview. You can also meet with Sun recruiters in person - check out our event calendar for upcoming events at your school.

Bring a copy of your resume (transcripts too if possible) and any questions about Sun or the job you'd like to ask the interviewing manager.

• Be on time
  
  
• A little preparation goes a long way. Do your homework before the interview. There are lots of great resources to get to know Sun. Learn about Sun and our student resources. Sun also has a facebook page and a recruiting blog - lots of ways to learn more about the company.
  
  
• Ask questions: This is as much an opportunity for you to find out if this is the right fit for you as it is for Sun.
  
  
• Try to think ahead for actual examples that you can use to describe your skills and experiences. Providing evidence of your successes is a great way to promote your candidacy.
  
  
• Answer questions carefully and articulately.
  
  
• Most importantly - be yourself. You know you have what it takes - let it shine through.
  
  

Phone Interview Tips

• Be prepared.
  
  
• Keep your resume in clear view so it's available for reference.
  
  
• Remove any possible disruptions.
  
  
• Consider using a landline rather than your cell phone to avoid a dropped call or static on the line.
  
  
• Remember your goal is to set up a face-to-face interview.
  
  
• Thank the interviewer and ask if it would be possible to meet in person.

Follow up

• Ask about what the next steps are. When you should hear back and who you should expect to hear from.
  
  
• Say thank you. You can call, send a letter, send an email - any method to stay connected.
