- [00:00:00.000]Hello, my name is Stephanie Ostertoon
- [00:00:04.010]and I'm a career coach in the
- [00:00:05.890]College of Agricultural
- [00:00:06.880]Sciences and Natural Resources
- [00:00:09.010]here at UNL.
- [00:00:10.000]When preparing for the career
- [00:00:11.590]fair, it's important to
- [00:00:13.330]research the companies ahead of
- [00:00:15.610]time and have three to five
- [00:00:17.000]questions prepared that you'll
- [00:00:19.080]ask the employers.
- [00:00:20.000]You want the questions to
- [00:00:21.530]demonstrate that you've
- [00:00:23.070]researched their company and
- [00:00:24.900]that you have a desire to learn
- [00:00:26.720]more about them.
- [00:00:28.000]So here's some questions to ask
- [00:00:29.610]and questions to avoid.
- [00:00:31.000]Questions to ask.
- [00:00:34.000]What drew you to working for
- [00:00:35.440]this company and what
- [00:00:36.570]influences you to stay?
- [00:00:38.000]I saw on your website that your
- [00:00:39.620]company values diversity and
- [00:00:41.170]inclusion.
- [00:00:42.000]Could you share more about how
- [00:00:43.790]your company demonstrates that?
- [00:00:46.000]Could you tell me a little bit
- [00:00:47.780]more about your company's
- [00:00:49.420]culture and what training and
- [00:00:51.280]ongoing professional
- [00:00:52.790]development opportunities are
- [00:00:55.340]available?
- [00:00:56.000]Questions to avoid would be
- [00:00:57.710]anything relating to pay or
- [00:00:59.220]benefits.
- [00:01:00.000]These are questions you can ask
- [00:01:01.920]once you've been offered the
- [00:01:03.690]job.
- [00:01:04.000]You'll also want to avoid
- [00:01:05.380]asking questions like what does
- [00:01:06.970]your company do?
- [00:01:08.000]That's something you should
- [00:01:09.680]already know by having
- [00:01:11.010]researched them ahead of time.
- [00:01:13.000]Once you're at the career fair,
- [00:01:15.000]if you have any other questions
- [00:01:16.150]about what questions you should
- [00:01:17.520]be asking and avoiding, please
- [00:01:20.310]stop by the help desk.
- [00:01:21.000]We'll see you there.
