HealthFitness, a nationwide team of 2,700+ fitness professionals who inspire, motivate, and engage over 1 million participants across 140+ clients, is one of the many employers scheduled to attend Miami’s Virtual Sports Career Exploration and Networking Expo. Below, Recruiter Tamara Leuschen gives advice for students leading up to the event.
What makes a candidate stand out to you during the recruiting and interview process?
We love candidates who display confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for health and wellness. When interviewing, it’s important to tell “in the workplace” stories. Don’t just say who you are. Show us through vivid, concrete examples.
What advice would you give Miami students to set themselves up for success as they pursue internships and their post-graduation goals?
Research the companies and the person you’re interviewing with. This will help you give meaningful answers and ask meaningful questions. Keep a spreadsheet to organize your applications and interviews. It’s important to keep on top of the opportunities you’re pursuing so you have time to do your research “homework.”
