With my virtual internship program interviews, the candidates always seem to pre-qualify themselves before the interview with an amazing cover letter, a solid resume, and good reasons for wanting to work with me. As well, by the fact that they have searched and found us on Google by searching “Virtual Internships”, they have self-identified that they know what they are getting into.
With the virtual internship concept, the more is the merrier. I welcome every intern who wants to create a great resume through our “Resume From The Future” concept. Therefore, although I don’t come out and say it always, each call could begin with a “You’re hired, now let’s talk.”
What can you do to pre-identify before the interview the right candidates before you take the time to speak with them?
