Flatiron Campus Recruiting Experience

This past week I participated in Flatiron’s campus recruiting event. The structure of the event is as follows: You are paired up with three to five companies that will interview you over the course of the week. There is also a possibility that you will have two interviews scheduled on the same day. The companies are all of different backgrounds with the only thing in common being that there is a skill or quality that on your resume that is in line with what the company is looking for. For example I have a BA in Economics so I was paired with a few FinTech companies. You are not given much information about the company except their name and the interviewer’s name. However that should be all the information you need to prepare for any interview.
