In this episode, Shellee and Interview discuss:
- Three things about yourself
- Anticipating their concerns
- Asking genuine questions
- Backing up your claims
Key Takeaways:
- Think about three things that you want the interviewer to know about you by the end of the interview. Think about your core values, accomplishments, gifts and talents.
- Anticipate what would be the interviewer’s concern and answer it before it even becomes a concern.
- Ask a genuine question, don’t worry about whether they’ll be able to answer it or not - what’s important is that you’re showing an interest in that area. Also, read the school newspaper and discuss or ask about some issues or hot topics from there.
- When letting them know who you are, back up your claims with some proof. Instead of saying you’re patient, say “my friends/siblings would say that I’m patient” or you could tell an instance where you showed that value.
