nullWhen you're a college student or recent graduate interviewing can be a challenge, especially if you haven't interviewed much. That's especially true when you're interviewing for entry level jobs, because, in general, it's a level playing field with all candidates having the same basic qualifications.

However, there are ways to prepare for an interview so you can stand out from the crowd of entry level candidates and make the best impression on the interviewer. The more you prepare - by practicing your interview skills, researching the company, being able to show why you're qualified, and by following up after the interview - the better chance you'll get at securing a second interview and/or a job offer.

Here are tips for acing a college job interview.
