Process for applying for positions:

1. Apply online at the ISU Human Resources website.

2. The office will contact you if the department is interested in offering you an interview during GRAD.

Items to think about before interviewing for positions:

What assistantship will help you in your chosen field of study?
What are your strengths, weaknesses, skills, and abilities?
What skills have you gained in your undergrad activities? 
What can you contribute to a potential employer?
