• Do's and Don'ts During Your Employer Visits

  DO

  • Take notes.
  • Display enthusiasm and appreciation.
  • Dress professionally.
  • Research the firm you are attending.
  • Prepare well thought out questions.
  • Stand out and make the most of these opportunities.
  • Ask for contact information if the opportunity arises. We do not provide contact information unless a host consents.
  • Write down names and contact information of the professionals.
  • Make sure you have a neat, clean professional appearance.
  • Plan to arrive to the trek site 30 minutes in advance to ensure you are on time. Manhattan transit can be unpredictable and there are often delays.
  • Raise your hand to ask questions.
  • IMPORTANT: Check your hireBING profile to make sure it is accurate. Your hireBING profile will shift and it may not be accurate. You can manually change it.
  • Use professional etiquette at all times.

  DON'T

  • Wait until the end to ask a question or engage with professionals.
  • Be late. You will not be permitted to enter the trek late, which will result in you being labeled as a no-show and 
  • Be distracting in any manner (e.g., play on your phone, fall asleep).
    Ask for a job or internship unless they discuss open positions during the visit. You may ask the type of skills or qualifications they look for in a candidate, or what makes someone successful at this company.
  • Sign up for two conflicting visits at the same time on the same day. You need to manage your own schedule.
• What if I have to cancel?
