To help California students prepare for job and internship opportunities, the College�s Career Center hosted an interview-preparation workshop last week with Dr. Tom Krause, longtime hiring consultant, a member of the College�s Board of Governors, and a TAC father and grandfather.

A founding partner at the , an international consulting firm specializing in organizational culture and safety management, Dr. Krause has hired a number of the College�s graduates over the years. In his hourlong presentation in St. Cecilia Hall�s Dillon Seminar Room, he spoke specifically about how students can prepare for and succeed when interviewing for a job.

�Preparing for the interview is the most important thing you can do,� Dr. Krause advised. �If you want a good interview, you must prepare well. If you prepare well, you are likely to have a good interview.�

Some 50 students attended the session, with Dr. Krause�s decades of interview experience at their disposal. They asked, and he answered, a wide array of questions, such as how to explain the College�s classical curriculum to employers, how to humbly demonstrate one�s best qualities in an interview, and how to remain steadfast in the Faith in a competitive and demanding job market.

The College�s students are especially valuable in the marketplace, Dr. Krause told the audience, because they learn quickly and efficiently. �You are the most viable of candidates,� he said. �The big thing that TAC students have is their ability to learn, and that�s what the employer is really looking for.�
