“Hello ___,

Once a time and location are decided upon, it is a good practice to send your pair a Google Calendar invite!
Preparing for Your Chat:
Before coming to your chat, be sure to look into the ASATT member you are chatting on our member page or their LinkedIn and come prepared with questions to ask them.
Coming up with questions can be a challenge. We encourage you to ask questions about all aspects of our organization from the recruitment process to New Member Education and socials! No question is a bad question as long as it is led by curiosity and respect.
During Your Chat:
As you are coffee chatting, be sure to use the time to your advantage in whatever way you feel is helpful for your ASATT recruitment process. This chat is for you! During the chat, be sure to talk about yourself and show your interest in ASATT. We want to get to know you too!
After Your Chat:
When your chat has finished, it is encouraged to send a thank you email to your pairing thanking them for their time and reflecting on what you spoke about. For recruitment chats, this email should be sent anywhere between a few hours after your chat to 24 hours after your chat.

What to Expect:
If invited to the first round following resume and application review, you will participate in an interview consisting of a round-robin behavioral style interview. You will be interviewed by different members of the Eboard back to back. All of the questions are behavioral, meaning they will be asking questions about previous experiences and asking for examples of times when you have done certain tasks or encountered certain scenarios. You will not be asked any technical questions and you are not expected to know any business-related knowledge.
How to Prepare:
We encourage you to practice behavioral questions prior to the first round interviews. Due to the round-robin nature, candidates may find it challenging to think of responses on the spot to completely unfamiliar questions; practicing can help you find your answer easier!
Example Questions:
These questions are no longer used in our recruitment process, but provide an idea of what our interview questions look like.
“Tell me about a time when you had a misunderstanding with a colleague. What steps did you take to overcome your communication barriers?”
“Describe a situation where you sought out different perspectives or opinions to better understand a problem or situation.”

What to Expect:
If invited to the second round, you will participate in a group case interview. The case is made to be accessible to all majors so there is no expectation that you will have a specific set of skills or knowledge to participate fully! In this round, you will work together to read a case, answer guiding questions, and present your response to those questions.
How to Prepare:
Everyone prepares for a collaborative case interview differently! Some options that you may find supportive are familiarizing yourself with casing by reading example cases on the internet, getting some friends together to practice a group case collaboratively, or attending case workshops hosted by organizations on campus. For the ASATT case interview especially, we encourage you to prepare to engage thoughtfully with your peers and dive deep into the material!
