The Basics of Interviewing and Practice Interview Session with Hiring Managers

Ms. Laurie Derechin, Executive Director, Minnesota Center for Financial & Actuarial Mathematics (MCFAM)

We will have a hiring manager from Cargill - David Whitcomb, a Foreign Exchange Trader in Cargill's Treasury Department and Suzette Houvinen, an Investment Actuary in Securian's Corporate Division. She works on the Quantitative Analyst/Risk Management/Investment Side of the business. There will be a presentation with tips in the first half hour and we will reserve the last hour for practice in small groups where you will rotate through various "interview stations" and you will have the chance to practice your answers in small groups. No need to dress up - this is a learning session - It should be a lot of fun and great practice for all of you.

Additional resources are linked for you on two "basics" online presentations from the CSE Career Center:

The presentation will be posted shortly and there is another resource document currently on the seminar website as well.
