We will invite instructors from UTD Career Center to feedback the resumes and provide training session for all applicants. Certain candidates will be further invited to perform live on-stage mock interview to interact directly with high-profile panelists from leading companies, such as Texas Instruments, Oncor, AT&T, Huawei, Caterpillar, Sabre Holdings, McGladrey and Yellowbox Solutions. The panelists will conduct mock interview for assumed positions in business, engineering and science. Furthermore, the panelists will discuss the “hits and misses” of each candidate\’s interview performance and provide with targeted, well-crafted feedback and interview tips.
