Retail executive
says confidence
makes difference
By GIGI SHAMSY
Reporter
A firm handshake and good eye
contact are essential during a job in
terview and can land a graduate’s
first job, a retail executive said dur
ing the Retailing Career Fair Sympo
sium Monday.
“Every company recruiter has
their own style,” said Rick Ruzza,
Neiman-Marcus’ coordinator for ex
ecutive recruitment. “But they all
look for a person who has a firm
handshake and a confident demean
or.”
The recruiters at Neiman-Marcus
headquarters in downtown Dallas in
terview 800 to 1,000 applicants every
graduation season, he said.
“Only 22 of these applicants are
finally chosen,” Ruzza said. “Unfor
tunately, we end up turning away
many outstanding people because of
the limited positions available.”
A humble attitude, good posture
and leadership skills are traits which
set a person apart from their com
petitors during an interview, Ruzza
said.
Ruzza said the recruiters for Nei
man-Marcus start the interview with
five minutes of casual conversation
about the applicant’s hometown or
interests to put the applicant at ease.
“We inform the person what to
expect in the next half hour of the
interview,” he said. “This is when we
discover why the person is interested
in Neiman-Marcus and in retailing.
“I cringe when 1 hear the excuse ‘1
want to be a buyer because I love
traveling’ or ‘I really love to shop.’”
He said students should avoid say
ing “I love working with people” un
less it is essential to the conversation.
The applicant should listen care
fully to the recruiter's questions and
should not stray away from the sub
ject at hand, he said.
Ruzza said students with a grade
point ratio less than 2.4 are rarely
considered for a job. Interviewees
with a low GPR should justify the
reason for this, he said.
“These people should stress diver
sions they may have had — such as a
aart-time job or a difficult course
oad,” he said.
It is important for the interviewee
to mention all relevant work experi
ence that may relate to the job,
Ruzza said.
“Il is beneficial for the student to
also possess a realistic attitude about
the job,” Ruzza added. “He must see
the stress and long hours often in
volved in the job instead of just the
glamour.”
A student’s attractive physical ap
pearance and flawless resume are es
sential in presenting a good image to
the company, he said.
Ruzza said if the recruiters are in
terested in the applicant, the appli
cant is invited to a final interview.
“Above all, the student should be
himself and remember that inter
viewing is not a one-way street for ei
ther the interviewee or the compa
ny,” Ruzza said.
Ruzza spoke at the symposium in
the place of Neiman-Marcus Vice
President Ruddjohnson.
