Job Interview Questions: Does being part of the college alumni matter in a job interview?

I have a job interview in a few days at the university I graduated from and I am a member of the alumni. Does that have any bearing at all on whether I get hired or not assuming everything else goes well? Colleges often speak of trying to help their alumni, but do any ever actually put this into practice?

It certainly can't hurt you. It's quite a compliment to the college for one of their students to want to work there. I would let them know in your interview that you enjoyed attending their school and felt you received a quality education. Tell them you will bring your positive college experience to the job. This should benefit present and future students.

Good luck with your interview.
