Milestone 4: Launch Your Future

You are the sum of your experiences and now is your time to shine! Create your personal, professional narrative and learn to articulate your DU story in a compelling manner for any interview.

Why Is Interview Preparation Important?

After an employer has read your application, the interview is a chance to get to know you more personally and have a conversation about your professional qualifications, past experience, and possibilities in the role and organization.
By preparing for the interview ahead of time and practicing your answers, you’ll be better able to recall a detailed answer packed with details about your skills and abilities during the interview.
