Q: Do you think emailing them personally is good enough for having an opportunity for an interview, or should we also apply for the internships on their website?
A: It would be great to apply on their websites! So if they say “you need to go on line and apply” you can sat – great, I have already done that, what is the next step?
Also, I had lunch with HR managers today. Their advice for fair candidates:
- Make sure your resume and email address are good! (They get resumes with bad contact info and cannot reach people!)
- Make sure your voice message is professional.
- Make sure you can pass drug tests! They tell me they are getting college grad candidates who are not passing the drug tests! Just know – LOTS of employers do drug testing at ALL levels in the organization.
