Info Night is held to kick off the recruitment process every semester! At Info Night candidates are able to learn more about SWPA, our mission, and will have the opportunity afterwards to meet our members and ask any questions informally.
Candidates will also sign up for Round 1 interviews at Info Night.
The first round of the recruitment process starts with a formal 10 minute interview between a candidate and two SWPA members.
Candidates invited back after this round will sign up for our social session the following evening.
Our social session is the second day of our recruitment process and allows candidates to get to know us as people! Candidates will be put into groups and will meet many different members. This is a 25 minute round.
Candidates invited back will sign up for a final interview the following evening.
The last round of interviews is a formal panel interview. Candidates will be interviewed by a panel of four SWPA members at once. Candidates are required to bring printed copies of their resume to this round.
Candidates will be notified with a decision following this round.

New Members are placed into Mentor Groups, which function as "families" within the organization. After going on coffee chats with potential families, New Members will be officially paired up with a Mentor Group!
Mentor Groups seek to connect members who share similar career and professional goals while creating bonds within!
Our formal interviews will ask mostly behavioral questions. Focus on practicing responses out loud using the S.T.A.R. method. (The social session will be more casual so the S.T.A.R. method will not be a priority!)
SWPA members are not judging you if you are nervous! If you can speak confidently and answer our questions you will do great!
Purchase some business clothing. SWPA's interviews are formal and we expect candidates to come dressed professionally.
