Use for Class Projects
Current and historical news articles are great resources to use in your course research. In NewsBank, you can track industry developments and research global, regional, and local companies. Local news sources may cover a story of national interest with a different perspective than a national news source, so you’ll get additional insights into a variety of topics.
Use for Interview Prep
When you’re preparing for an interview, NewsBank is helpful for researching both company and industry trends. If the company you’re interviewing with has been in the news, it’s important to be prepared to discuss that in the interview. Additionally, having current insights into industry trends demonstrates to the interviewer you are knowledgeable and interested in the area you’re interviewing for.
If you’re considering moving to a different location for your internship or after graduation, local news sources can be helpful to learn more about the area and companies expanding into the area, or relocating from it. This can help you expand your target list of firms and explore a variety of career opportunities.
