----------------------------------------

This e-mail serves as a reminder that the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) will be on campus tomorrow conducting mock interviews. Only a couple mock interview slots remain.

Tuesday, October 14th, a representative from FAS will be in the Career Center between 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm, conducting half-hour mock interviews.

This mock interview event is part of the SPA Mock Interview Program, where real employers come to campus to ask you typical interview questions and provide constructive feedback, tips and advice. In addition to learning what to do, and what not to do, during an interview, it is also a great way for you to connect with an AU alum or recruiter. Sign up for one of the remaining 30-minute Mock Interview sessions through your AU Career Web account.

The Foreign Agricultural Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) works to improve foreign market access for U.S. products, build new markets, improve the competitive position of U.S. agriculture in the global marketplace, and provide food aid and technical assistance to foreign countries. FAS has the primary responsibility for USDA’s international activities—market development, trade agreements and negotiations, and the collection and analysis of statistics and market information. It also administers USDA’s export credit guarantee and food aid programs, and helps increase income and food availability in developing nations by mobilizing expertise for agriculturally led economic growth. FAS also enhances U.S. agriculture’s competitiveness by providing linkages to global resources and international organizations.

Check out FAS and their opportunities on their website at www.fas.usda.gov
