STEM

STEM clients benefit greatly from career-specific job search preparation. Strong technical skills are only assets in the market for entry level talent if they are accompanied by proven communication and presentation skills. We prepare students in STEM disciplines to identify their unique combination of strengths and interests in order to position themselves as top candidates with employers.

We begin by examining your academic and campus work, structuring a strategy for your job search. This may include developing projects or new activities to help build and directly apply key non-technical skills such as leadership, time management, and collaboration.

Priority Candidates uses three interview preparation approaches so you will be prepared to present your technical capabilities and soft skills:

• Training for behavioral and technical questions with your Career Coach
• Intensive interview sessions with our Interview Skills Specialist
• One-way video interviews utilizing the same software used by many companies to initially screen candidates

A clear presentation of your creative projects and personal motivation is critical to successfully complete corporate screening processes. Many STEM students need preparation for online assessments, coding challenges, personality assessments, behavioral assessments, as well as virtual interviews.

Priority Candidates helps with the timing, tone, and content of business communication — cover letters, emails, interview follow ups, and even texts.

Developing your networking strategy and guiding you to execution is also unique, as we work to identify people in the areas you are aiming for, and help set you up for successful networking discussions.

Our goal is to help you develop a comprehensive plan to successfully execute your job search and get hired into the position you want.
