Thank you very much for your help.
I tried to include a few things, though I couldn't find much about how to prepare for an interview.
1) During the interview you’ll be asked to talk about your interests, show your personality and offer an impression of who you are. You can prepare for the interview by writing a list of key words you believe are important to you. 2)First, make sure you arrive on time for the interview. The extra time will come in handy if you encounters delays. Once you get in the interview room, introduce yourself and greet the interviewers with a handshake and smile.
3) During the interview you should sound confident but not arrogant. Remember to be yourself, act naturally and use appropriate language.
4) It is a good thing (???) not to memorize your answers, otherwise you’ll hand up sounding like you’re reading from a script.
In 4, yes; keep "good thing" -- and put a semicolon after "answers" to fix the run-on.
Be sure to caution students not to simply repeat what is already in their application and on their transcripts. The admissions people already know that stuff. What they want to hear about is anything that makes this student come alive, things students can't put into an application.
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Here are some additional tips to help you prepare for an interview:
1) Research the company: Before the interview, make sure to research the company thoroughly. Look into their mission, values, products, services, and recent news. This information will help you understand the company better and show your genuine interest during the interview.
2) Review common interview questions: While you cannot predict every single question that will be asked, it is useful to review common interview questions and think about how you would answer them. This will help you prepare your thoughts ahead of time and feel more confident during the actual interview.
3) Practice answering questions: Once you have an idea of the common questions, practice answering them out loud. This will help you articulate your thoughts more effectively and improve your overall delivery. Additionally, consider practicing with a friend or family member who can provide feedback and simulate a real interview experience.
4) Prepare examples: One effective way to answer interview questions is by using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). For each question, think of specific examples from your past experiences that demonstrate your skills and abilities. This way, you can provide concrete examples that support your qualifications.
5) Dress professionally: It is important to make a good first impression, so dress professionally for the interview. Research the company's dress code beforehand, and if unsure, it's always better to be slightly more formal than too casual.
6) Bring copies of your resume: In many cases, interviewers may already have a copy of your resume, but it's always a good idea to bring extra copies just in case. This shows preparedness and can serve as a reference during the interview.
By following these tips, you'll be well-prepared for your interview and able to present yourself confidently and authentically. Good luck!
