Practice Interviewing
Employers will have slightly different expectations from graduate students than from students having just completed their undergraduate education. Employers want to hear how your research or experiences can immediately benefit their company, organization, or university. They will likely want to discuss your field and will ask questions that are specific to your leadership style.
