💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why do you want to stay in Cleveland? (I am from here. It kind-of caught me off-guard but I was able to come up with an answer.)

What was the most interesting question?

What is your novel about? (I said I liked writing and am working on a novel. I was so excited to get asked this because I love talking about it and it helped me relax.)

What was the most difficult question?

What have you done? (Faculty interview was supposed to be open-file but she hadn't read my file at all and was reading it during the interview. I started to talk about something and then she asked me questions about it so I didn't have time to elaborate on my other activities. I mostly asked her questions during that interview.)
