Q: Would an internship be better to have than a part-time job?
A: Internships are often paid, or offer a stipend, and are an excellent way for you to get experience in your field of study. Check out BroncoJobs for a list of available internships at http://career.boisestate.edu/BroncoJobs.htm, or meet with your department’s internship coordinator. You can find a list of internship coordinators at http://career.boisestate.edu/ under the “index section.” You can also call the internship coordinator at the Career Center at 426-1747 for more information.
Remember that an internship will
often qualify for college credit, where a part-time job will not. Check with your internship coordinator to see if the internship you are applying for will qualify for this credit.
Q: I just got the coolest tattoo on my arm! However, I have a job interview next week and am concerned that it will affect the interviewer’s perception of me. What should I do?
A: During your interview, I would play it safe and keep your tattoo covered as well as be conservative with other things that are in your control. If you get the job, you can ask your manager or Human Resources about company preferences.
You do not want to be misleading in how you present yourself to your potential employer. How conservative the
employer and/or their clients are may dictate how flexible they can be in how they want their
employees to dress. Check out the company culture once you get the job.
A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers says grooming and non-traditional interview attire were rated as having a strong influence on the interviewer; facial hair and earrings were not seen as a big issue to the interviewers.
