When recruiting applicants for our Management Trainee program and internships, we look for the following skills: customer service, sales, leadership, and problem-solving experience. Candidates who display coachability, resiliency, and work ethic always stand out.
What advice would you give a student during an interview?
Don’t undervalue your experiences during the interview process. Highlight your accomplishments, whether they’re academic, athletic, from previous work experience or from volunteer opportunities. Be sure to paint a complete picture when answering interview questions. Also, always research the company you’re interviewing with beforehand.
