To showcase your passion for a position, Mr. Mehler says, students should be aggressive and ask questions. "It may seem very basic, but you walk up to the recruiter with a smile, shake hands strongly, look the recruiter in the eye," he says. Talk about what you've learned in your research about the company and why you really want to work there. Ask, "How do we make this happen?" he says.

Signing up for mock interviews at the career center and joining campus groups that offer public-speaking opportunities can help you prepare to explain your skills.

Mr. Mehler suggests that students have a friend videotape them interviewing. "It shows what you're doing right and definitely what you're doing wrong," he says. "Take the tape to a career counselor and have them review it with you," he adds.
